yes, thats the same car. amazing what happens when the tuning world progresses.

JDM nothing. Bad photo with bad photoshop effect=cheese. And AFAIK no IS has ever pulled flames off successfully.

Red and gold is a good colour scheme, regardless of what market it was intended for.

[mikefate]

you missed my point. that gray car and that red car are the SAME car. 5 years later.

[Johnnysks]

I know. You missed my point.


The only thing wrong with this photo is the blue flames and the cheesy photoshop effect. The rims I'm not so hot on, but rest of the car is fine.


Same car, no more blue flames, nicer rims, different kit (slight improvement) and good colour scheme = win. However, not feeling the side vents. But the colour scheme and the wheels more than made up for it.

My point was this is not a JDM issue or that maiin stream just caugh up with his mod's. Flames just don't belong on an IS. Save them for Firebirds.

thats no vent. thats pure exhaust pouring out the side. that car is sick. pure inspiration.

Well I once bought two bags of rice when I went grocery shopping, with plenty of space to spare. J/K

Lol the first one is hideous, the other two are nice except for the hideous paint jobs.

Customizing cars is just another form of art, and like in all genres of art there are gonna be extremes of ugliness.

There is no difference between the black version, nor the current red version.

Both trailer queen show whore cars.

Still ricey in my book.

That's cool. A bit riced imho, but to each his own. BTW, I'm just discussing also, not hating as well. I'm a rep slut, so I'm out for now, bro. :D

PS. Yes, I do see double standard from time to time.

One tone paint job and new rims and this car would be a win.

A show car is a show car is a show car. Nothing more, nothing less. To each their own. The red version is 95% win.

[moswantedaltezza]

its all said and done... that car is NOW sick... but USED to look not so sick...

[acrylick]

I like how he stretched the tires on that car as if it needed it.

With all that wheel gap, his fenders are in another time zone.
