man...this is an old post...as for the color of the IS, i would get blue, cuz thats what i have...man, it looks amazing. as for mods, if i had the money, i would definitely TC it. but realistically, mods for the IS come pretty expensive, especially since it is a Lexus. I have an Altezza emblem and a Blitz body kit, just so y'all know =) and there is no way there is a 3 second difference bet. the auto and man trans.

FELLAS THE CAR LOOKS GR8 AND FUQ IT RIDES LIKE A FREAKEN DIMEPIECE! BUT DOESN'T IT SUMTIMES LOOK LIKE A FREAKEN HONDA CIVIC? I PERSONALLY LOVE THE CAR, I WAS PLANNIN TO GET WITH SUMMER, BUT WHEN U THINK ABOUT IT, ITS RESEMBELANCE TO THE HONDA KILLS IT! BUT THATS JSUT MY OPINION.

Wink

if i got a lexus is300(which i will not) id put a SR26 and give it a wide bodie kit like this one http://www.clublexus.com/gallery/sho...&cat=2&page=17

I'd also do a S15 headlight conversion

then id call my IS300 "SIL-300" lol

The is300 is NOT the same engine as in a mark4 TT supra as stated above. The TT supra has the 2jz-GTE engine. This IS has the 2jz-ge engine. The IS shares the same 2jz engine as the N/a supra, however it has VVTI (Varialbe Valve Timing) which has weaker rods and internals therefore is more expensive to turbocharge because you have to exchange more than just turbo parts for the application to work. Get your facts straight!
