Default Winter mods begin *pics* updated 12/19/07

So i got bored in class today, and the IS300 is getting a little love. I decided to shave the moldings on the door and mold the finder flares to the side skirts. Its not much, but i think it will def look nice and smooth. Let me know what you think and ill be sure to keep you guys post on my on going progress.

Looks nice. Love the wheels, but I'm a bit partial... Are they 19's?

What school do you go to? When I went to APEX (ghetto-ist school out there), I would always get in trouble for shaving things off like door handles, roof rails, inner trunk lights, antennas etc. lol

Its going to look good though, details like that will set your IS apart from the rest

Default Some more winter mods update

Here are some more pics of the build. I got the motor apart and sent the head to get port and polished and everything Hot tanked. I still have to get the Harmonic Balancer off, but the bottom end is getting hot tanked as well. New Gaskets, Seals, Water pump, Timing belt and new pulleys all on the way.







Heres more work on the body
