First of all,
To Boyie,
It doesn't matter if you got a 4.0 in high school or whatever your case is. I, as well as, many others here have gotten 4.0s throught their lives too, and that still doesn't justify the fact that your parents got your an IS and you need to bash or mock about it. True, others are jealous that you got one, but realize the reality that a car is just a car, and that you can not just live by your car for the rest of your life. Go out and make some money, and then you'll see how hard it really is to own a car like this or better. You're lucky, I agree, that your parents bought you an IS, but you don't need to tell others that your 4.0 justifies that your parents SHOULD have gotten you the IS because you did well in school. That's trash and we all know it, so get over it. But I do congratulate you for gettin an IS and enjoy it, but don't mock dawg.
TO the poster about carbon fiber.
IMO, only the Graphite IS would look decent with the fiber hood, because the color of the carbon fiber is almost identical to the color of the GGP IS (good for me). I also saw the yellow IS with it, and IMO it was nasty, but then again, that is just my preference. And to the person who said it would only shave off 30 pounds? Get real bro. The Carbon Fiber hood would shave at least 100 pounds off if not more. Have you raised our IS hoods? They're heavy as hell just to raise up the hood and latch it. Check it our yourself and then get back to us before making assumptions. Just to clear up clarifications. For $450 to lessen over 100 pounds, I'd do it in a heartbeat!
