Default Out with the old 10 in with the new 11

Just wanted to let all my club members know im staying true to the L, just tarded in my 2010 Obsidian Black IS250 for a 2011 Tungsten Pearl IS250. I love black but i hate it... My late Integra was black, my silverado and my R6 are black... but i just cant do it anymore with my IS, i cant keep it clean and scratch free for as long as I want without ripping my hair out. So off she went and came my sweet TP 2011. Love the headlights! here we go again!

Out with the....


In with the...

Congratulations on the new 2011 IS

Going from Black to TP is " life changing " when it comes to keeping your sanity !!!

Congrats, like both of them! Did you have spacers on the 2010? If so what size?

Thanks, actually no i didn't have spacers. i was debating them but was after the rims instead before i made this life altering decision. I love your wheels, what kind size and offset are they?

negative bro, the 2012 is identical to the 11, got a steal on this 11 since it was the last on the lot. Maybe 2013?? lol! yeah right! i hope not at least, I hate I have to start modding all over again, drop, gfx, rims etc... I hope i can start a SC project soon!

Yeah man, you and I are the same. I really liked my 10 when she was clean, but i also drove the pee out of her in 12 months putting 22,000 miles on her, so I opted for a fresh start since I now have a company car and dont have to endure my 80 mile round trip commute. zI already compliment myself on my DRL's! lol! Thanks again!

Congrats on the new ride, I felt giddy when I got my '06, would be great to have an '11. The headlights are my favorite part. I would love to do a headlight upgrade, but jesus they're expensive.

Nice 2011! The LEDs and wheels are awesome.

Your 2010 still looked pretty cool though even if you didn't get rid of it for a 2011. Those 2010 crab-claw wheels look a lot better when the car is lowered like you had it.
