Started spending a lot of time on the car so decided to start a build thread to keep track of mods. It's an '03 TCM auto that I daily drive and also autoX every once in a while. Here's a link to the album: '03 TCM IS300 - Imgur
7/17/10
Bought the car with 97k miles on it. First car! Completely stock, sport design trim.
1/13/11
Got rear ended. Free bumper!
11/25/11
Swapped out stock sound system for Alpines and a Sony double din.
12/01/11
Dropped on Eibach Sportline springs. Front and rear sway bars also installed.
1/05/12
Greddy RS exhaust installed. Very deep and loud without the silencer. Slight drone at around 2.5k - 3k RPM though.
Swapped out the center console and instrument plane bulbs for white LEDs also.
2/21/12
New Enkei GTC01s 18x8 +40 front and 18x9 +40 rear, wrapped in Falken Ziex 912s 215/40 front, 235/40 rear. Held on with Project Kics r40 lug nuts.
Both the front and rear fenders are rolled but I'm still rubbing :[
Also got a Cusco front strut tower bar, Tokico Illuminas, an Altezza 3bar grille and a shorty ebay antenna
3/6/12
Injen CAI and Nokyo arctic white DRLs.
4/14/12
PLP radiator cover + heat shield and CF engine cover. Haven't installed the heat shield yet cause I can't get to the nut in the rear... Lightly tinted my side markers also.
5/4/12
Greddy rep front lip, LTuned sides, Carson Tuned rear. Didn't like the fog light openings on the Carson so returned that and got a Greddy lip. The search for a LTuned front continues...

Sorta abandoned my build thread. How she sits right now:
Future Plans
More camber up front cause I like broken suspension.
More lip.
