For those in the cold weather parts of the country, how many have either bought snow tire packages, put on all-seasons, or stayed with the stock set-up to get through the winter?? Also, if you did change or replace tires, what did you get??
I am hopefully getting mine soon. I want to get new rims in the spring, but i would rather have the 17's and toss some winter tires on those then the 16's. Is this a good idea or not?
I heard those new DS1 tires are the best. My friend got them on his 12 sec Talon and he says they are the best snow tires he's ever ran. We took sharp turns on snow covered roads at pretty high speeds and never lost control once.

So I picked up another is300, and it needs a new hood. Normally where I’m from in Chicago there’s always people parting out and an abundance of parts available in junkyards, but I’ve had no luck in finding one in GGP. I’m thinking of buying a black hood and sanding/ spray painting it with...
So ive had this for awhile and ignored it, but now i grabbed the code and it said rear right abs sensor was "out" or giving the code. I changed it the other day the old abs sensor had metal shavings on it but no gunk i probably could've just cleaned it out. But put the new one in hoping that the...
Sorry if this is redundant, I can't seem to find any threads that talked about this anymore, how do the FRS and BRZ seats fit in the is300? My stock leathers are getting pretty beat up, and the padding in my passenger seat is to s***, not to mention the general lack or shape on these.
