^^ I like what I see. Loving the shaved badges on the trunk, and I'm jealous of your spoiler. My car came with all factory options feasible except navigation and that spoiler. I even have the (apparently) rare Lexus all-weather floormats, but I couldn't get a spoiler? Lame. I'm not allowed to have that kind of fun in my IS either.. VSC gets in the way. I might pull the fuse out one day next Spring and see what kind of fun I can have with the car after that. I did just put a spacer of the spring on the throttle- it's a must if you own an IS. It feels so much better now. I considered painting my calipers a dark gray or silver like yours just so they would never be noticed, but when I went to O'Reilly's, they only had black in stock. Or red, and I skipped red. Your IS would look great with the black JDM headlights.

What do you mean by putting spacer and spring on the throttle? I'm in the market for the black JDM headlights I'm trying to keep it mostly stock since i have my All-trac to finish. I would really like to swap the engine with a 2jzgtte and go single T88 to make some seriouse power but have to keep it as my DD at the moment. I just hit 75k miles yesterday |

I would really like to swap the engine with a 2jzgtte and go single T88 to make some seriouse power but have to keep it as my DD at the moment. I just hit 75k miles yesterday I can shut traction control off, but VSC stays on until I pull the fuse out or permanently wire a switch in, and as much snow as I get here, I'd rather have stability control remain active until next Spring. You could always take your headlights apart and paint them rather than having to buy the JDM lights, but they would look great on your car. As for the spring on the throttle, this explains it easier than I can: http://my.is/forums/f62/is300-throttle-cable-spacer-350180/ I'm sure with a 5 speed, it bothers you a lot less. But with my automatic and that spring in the throttle cable, it's like I have to floor it everywhere I go just to get the car to move. After I put the spacer in, the car responds 3,000% better. I've love to have a 2JZ-GTE swap myself, but I'll just keep playing with my Celica for now. And I hear you on the mileage- I bought it last February with 111,000, and I'm now at 141,000.
