details, details, com on!

P.S. - y didn't u get black interior (like i did)? don't tell me u wanted headed seats

That could be the worst wing i have ever seen on an IS, and the back of your car says "Lexus Altezza" heh.
On the bright side, the dual exhaust looks very very nice!

jdogg · May 12, 2001

Diggin the body kit, bro

Where'd ya get it and how much???
Could have left the 747 wing at the store tho

But it looks tite

mattssi · May 12, 2001

Poor IS, poor IS.

Lexus_IS300 · May 12, 2001

to each his own. if you like your car that way, i think u should leave it that way. w ho cares what others say. look at CWest's Altezza, it has almost the same wing..and you guys were diggin it.

RightIS · May 12, 2001

you have the right to do whatever you want

but...i have an opinion.

that looks like horse****. you ruined the car. do you think you are taking off with that wing? grrrrr.......ill stop before i go crazy

Risk3233 · May 12, 2001

I think it's a nice looking car. The body kit isn't too radical.

The dual exhaust is a bit much though.

Definitely too much wing. You know that wing actually creates the necessary down force only at really high speeds. Otherwise, it's just dead weight on the car.

#1 IS 300 · May 12, 2001

to every body:I don't likt the wing too!!!I mean the height,right now i looking for some one can make custom alum. braket to make the wing lower.I will post when's done

by the way,the wing only weight 5 lbs. because it's full carbon fiber

#1 IS 300 · May 12, 2001

FOR THE DUEL MUFFLER,THERE'S A PLASTIC PIECE UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE REAR BUMBER,JUST TAKE OUT AND THERE'S A SPACE FOR IT. BUT THE REAR RAINFORCEMENT WILL BLOCK MUFFLER,THAT'S WHY MY MUFFLER CAN'T NOT STICK OUT MUCH.

**SSagaG** · May 13, 2001

can u giv sum details on the clear sidemarkers?
thanx

Leader · May 13, 2001

You called it "My Crap."
Exactly right.

Risk3233 · May 13, 2001

What kind of H&R spacer did you use?

Wheel spacer? What width/thickness?

blueIS · May 14, 2001

i like the car! like the wings, like the dual muff's

BUT, there is no way in hell im going to ride that "crap"(as u called it) to the streets...
it looks kinda(or too) ricy...
personally, i'd like to have it as a picture/poster or a car in a showroom

s0yb0mb · May 14, 2001

great, you got dual exhaust, but why doesn't it match up with your bumper??? It looks stupid like that; a lot like this civic hack-job that some bodyshop is doing in my town.

Rob L · May 14, 2001

If you like it then that's cool.

I personally think the car looks like ****e. Gay spoiler, cheesy body kit (seems too snapped on) and I think the dash kit you have going there looks like junk over the original black dash. Looks like something an 8 year old would do.

And what is up with the Altezza badging? It isn't an Altezza. Looks super cheesy

I can only hope I never see an IS (or any Lexus for that mater) that looks like around here. I don't want to be embarrassed by brand association

I like what you've done with the original Lexus wheels. Very creative.

Yes the Kit look a bit snap on, but everyone has different tastes. If this car makes you happy and proud, then it's a nice car, no matter what ppl say.
Personally I like the DTM wings. But Im not brave enough to add it onto my car. My IS200 is not as fast as ur IS300 so no point in putting the wing on for me (DTM wing conveys image of fast). The trend in Japan for most Altezzas are DTM wing, so what u r doing is not wrong.

As for the ALtezza badge.. who cares? We are all driving a TOYOTA a TOYOTA, Lexus is only a brand name .. we are all driving highly priced TOYOTAS!!!!!!!! So debadge all the Lexus emblem and replace em with Toyota and ALtezza, it'll just look at home.

just my 0.2
