OK i take that back, but seriously - finding parts for the IS is SUCH a drag.

Maybe its just because I don't know where to look, but today I finally decided that I was going to try a Carbon Greddy knock-off lip from ebay. Ordered it up, asked if I could pay for weekend shipping. They reply with "we've not sold that for years, it must have accidentally got auto-listed"!!!

FFS :cursing:

Maybe I'll just buy an RX300 instead. That way I can intimidate people with the height of my car rather than trying to give the front of the IS a "GTFO my way" look.

Lol, it is a hard car to find parts for over here........

Although the IS isn't a particularly intimidating car if that's your end goal, I find people just do not get out of the way when I'm in the IS but in the Merc they sometimes can't get out of the way quick enough. Get an LS, they'll surely get out of the way in that :biggrin:

Yeah, its the body kit side of things that's got me really bummed I think. Most of the other bits I've been able to get from the USA even if the shipping was more than the item.

But with body kits nobody wants to ship overseas, and I guess with good reason too - as it's bound to get beaten to a pulp.

I just want an aggressive looking front end. Sitting low to the floor with some evil slanted eyes, a noticeable front lip and deep growling exhaust. Even thought the IS300 might not go like a rocket, half the people I speak to have no idea what car it is anyway.

I think Sam has that lip too, might be worth asking him where he got it from?
