Default My 2003 Is300 Sport Design

Still a work in progress, full night photoshoot depends on responses I get from here ...

The car was purchased from my brother for $20k and came with a crap ton of stickers on it. I've taken a lot of them off. The windshield banner is definitely coming off in the near future.




I'm kinda iffy about the stars ... that's how I got the car from my bro.



JDM lovin' with the Greddy catch can goodness


Best side profile I've got ...


UPDATE:

Took off the windshield banner and bra. Now I'm working on the stars ... which are a giant pain in the butt. They aren't coming off in sheets, they just flake apart. Any ideas on how to make them easier to take off?

An entire profile shot would be nice before I start assuming things and bashing you for your horrid lack of taste.

in the second picture, it looks like a maxima.

the stars, hood, and bra kill it man. i never thought i would see an IS300 that i did not like, but i think this may be it. either way, it is still a nice car, just not my cup of tea.

Stickers as well ... I invite all those who've taken a look so far to take a look at the first picture again, see if that sways your opinion of the car.

So I took off the bra tonight, and it made a huge difference in the way the car looks. It appears longer and sleeker. After these responses, I've realized that it's not my style, it's my brother's. I've just been too into the performance, I've overlooked how the car looks. This weekend, the vinyl, banner, and other misc. stickers ("tuned by prolex performance" and the dragons) will come off. With another washing and waxing session, I'll come back with new pics.

On a side note, the miata should be out of the paint shop next week with a fresh coat of dark grey with silver flake, no more dents, and a Racing Beat type II body kit Just to give a preview on what it'll look like ...

Looks good. The stars don't bother me for some reason. Definetly wouldn't mind owning one.
