yall do drive nice vehicles. But I can understand the frustration of not having alot options in mods when one gets the 'mod itch'. I'm glad I don't have that problem with my ride.

i bought my 2IS with the sole intention of it being my unmodded daily driver. before the IS i had a heavily modded eclipse gs-t and a slightly modded civic hatch. i didn't expect there to be an aftermarket for the IS. it's a car that isn't meant to be modded imo. it's not a sports car. the interior comes with everything you could possibly need and the body looks good as well. i can understand adding wheels, exhaust, intake etc. but anything more than that and i don't understand why you would want to.

Cool

I'm with 1sik.
Too much whining + being filled up top to bottom with people that don't know what they're talking about = mostly useless thread.

It's gonna be awhile. Don't turn blue waiting.
I think if the LMS supercharger actually delivered some good performance figures, you would see far fewer complains and far more IS350's equipped with blowers.

10 different intake systems and 5 different exhaust systems isn't terribly impressive. Especially since 5 of the intake systems likely rob you of power, 3 will remain unchanged and two of them might give you 3hp. and I don't think the OP was refferring to rims as aftermarket, so I'm really not sure what you're refferring to when you say tons.
