I hope it doesnt rain for a few days!

Note the picture of the HOOD. The clear bra cannot even be seen. By far the best investment I have made on the car! Covers the headlamps, hood, front bumper, and mirrors.

looking good.

very clean
slam it

nice, i wish i got black instead of silver. are those the stock seats with a leather kit? How much cost?

now thats a clean ass blk car mine is never like that I trade u my blk for ur silver bud

You can't get enough beer into that. Next time you go to budweiser, bring a van and get enough for all of us :p

slam it :rockon:

nice wanna clean my car

looks f...ken nice mann....pmed you !!!!

nice jeep

yeah my car needs to be cleaned too... nice job and def a nice car

Thanks,

Yes the seats are stock with leather put on, 1000 installed by Classic Soft Trim. And as far as lowering goes, Im waiting for winter to end. For my 18th B-Day in March that thing is getting slammed. Koni yellows on sportlines and F/R camber. After that I think it will be some time before I venture into doing anything else. Maybe a new car in 3 years.

About the beer, I need something bigger than a van to get the amount of beer I want.

loooks good. We almost have the exact same setup. Except i put in rsx seats instead of putting leather on teh stocks.

damn....looks great. my car def. needs some detailing. i just hope for your sake that you guys don't get snow anytime soon up there.

I was going to go with RSX seats but 1000 for leather installed was tempting. I just wish the car had more low end power and I wasnt planning on touching the engine.

Thats what the other 4 cars in the house are for! If it snows again its back to the TL because that cleans up much better than black!

nice...i like you name btw

Thanks, I was trying to be original! :hgrin:

Nice name yourself

looks good man

I think my rsx seats are probably one of the best mods i ever done to my car. I hated the stock seats. For me, the stock seats didn't give me enough lumbar support. I got my seats for 600 only because they were perfect with not even one scratch. I love them, they hug me on every twisty turn. My butt doesn't slide around anymore.

I wanna wrap my rears in leather to match, but then again no one really sits in the back.

Engine wise, you can save for a swap or trade it in for a 8th gen si. I'm guessing if they put in a k20a2 in the new 8th gen si, i have a feeling the k20's are going to get cheaper then there current price.

For me getting 34mpg, while paying $2.00 a gallon for 87 is worth it.

Yeah I know what you mean. That’s why I bought the civic, 32mpg and still looks good. I guess I can skip the engine mods I always have the TL or the Nighthawk 750 to jerk around with.

Before I bought the Civic I was looking at a 2002 Caddy Seville STS and a 1999 Jaguar XJR both black on black (Very hard to turn down) It was hard to turn away from the jag with the supercharged 8 but I would be at the gas station everyday. The Caddy wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’m that old yet. I think I made the right decision, my insurance is only 100 dollars a month (and at 17 years old that’s really good). Only spend 12 a week on gas. Can’t beat a car that doesn’t cost you too much money other than accessories.

^^^^^^
I wish i had those kind of cars to play with when i was 17 lol. I wanted to do a swap too, but now i wanna save and buy a used is300 for like 18k then drop in a tt supra engine. Well thats the dream probably wont happen for another 3-4yrs. I'd suggest getting the aero kit for our 04's. Looks really nice on the 04-05's.

I looked at the HFP package when I bought my car, but the aero kit made the car look like it was missing an exhuast pipe! Depending on how low I am after the drop I may get a kit. But it may be a problem getting out of the driveway. The lowest car I got in my driveway was a Corvette Z06 and I had to take it through the grass at an angle.

The IS300 has the supra engine in it, not the TT of course. I really like the IS300 too, and you can't beat the most reliable cars on the road (LEXUS). Great car!

lookin sweet

^^^^
i know..i got lazy and didnt feel like typing in, swapping for supra tranny and putting in a twin turbo. The aero right now is the best for the 04 in my opinion. I think the bombex kit looks ugly for my taste. i agree with you on the part about the exhaust tip look kinda small. I want to replace the muffler but i dont want that fart noise you get when you change it from stock.


For the IS, i didn't think i would like 4dr till i rode in my friends is300. I can actually feel it pull at the upper rpms unlike our cars.
