  1. I feel that it is an ok deal, yeah the car's trade in value at excelent is like 20,900 dollars, but you figure that the retail price is like 25k, so I think it is ok, check out kbb.com. Put in good for the condition, and see what you get for both trade in value, and retail value.
  2. Mine got cracked. I believe it was done either during the install of my intake, or a oil change. dont ask...
  3. Try lextasy.com, or IS300.net. Pretty good prices. later.
  4. R U having check engine light issues? I was wondering about those things. I have had a lot of issues with check enging light, not much lately, knock on wood. But just curious if that is why you picked ththe S-AFC up. later. Are you using your engine cover, the black plastic thing with the L on it, I need one. Thanks,
  5. I am very familiar with this, last winter I could not drive this car for nothing in the snow. I purchased some Sumitomo HTR + tires to try to help. Well, Wednesday night here in VA, it snowed. I was very nervous about the car, and driving. But amazingly it did very well. I picked them up at Tires.com, for 89 a piece. I would definetly reccomend them. Check them out. Although I have been thinking about the blizzaks, have not heard nothing but good things. later.
  6. I have an 01. Its pretty cool, not to good in the snow. But very fun to drive. The engine is to me, what makes the car. Very powerful. Kinda like a sleeper. You will enjoy if you pick it up. I think it is a peoples car, our car, am I right people? I think women look good in it though, but maybe it makes me look good too. One can only hope. Take it easy, and get that car!
  7. I am in VA. Central Va. About an hour from Roanoke, and 2hrs from Richmond. Thats where I got my IS.
  8. I have done a burnout in my IS. Its not cool because I cannot see it. Also I do not trust anyone else to do it in front of me. If the car is going to get dogged, I am the one thats going to do it, you know what I mean. The car is plenty powerful so I guess with the right finesse, and the trac off, it is possible. Stay cool man.
  9. I have a 2001 IS, I got it at Lexus of Richmond in VA. I bought it new, its nice. You will enjoy it thouroughly. Mine is the Spectra Blue with black leather escain. I have the stock 17s, with new Sumitomo HTR Ultra High performance. I paid a little much for mine too, got a little hosed, but the car is hella cool, and very fast. As far as you getting hosed, maybe a little. But, you always feel like you are hosed after you leave a dealership. Recently put a rod millen exhaust on, did not want the buzzer type exhausts you hear on these civics. I also have a AEM short ram intake. It sounds cool as hell, like a race car with just those two mods. Stop by IS300.net, or Lextasy.com. They have a lot of parts, and the prices are not bad. My future plans for mine is to redo my Speaker box, it takes up too much room in my trunk. I have 2 12 inch JL audio subs in a box. Along with a punch 360 amp. Nice deal, only 200 bucks. Just not enough room in trunk. Windows tinted, thats it right now. I want to get the TRD style rear spoiler, because at 100 mph, the back end feels a little light. I also have the JDM shortened chrome antenna on the roof, and diamond clear front side marker lights. not installed yet though. :o Like I said before you will definetly enjoy, but you might want to upgrade the wheels to the 17 inchers for the better cornering.
  10. Do not sell the car. I felt that way too, and I am not expecting any kids, ...that I know of. But just take it easy in the snow, or leave early. That what I did last winter. as much as I could that is. Maybe buy a beater car, something with front wheel drive, and kind of cheap. But safe since you are expecting a kid. good luck, and congrats.-steven
  11. Thanks man. I appreciate it. By the way, nice IS, I like it. I am in the process of upgrading mine. I recently installed a rod millen rear section exhaust. And a AEM short ram intake. I have the jdm short chrome antenna also. I have a punch 360 amp, with JL audio 12's. I need to build me a custom box though. I have very little trunk left. But anyways, I appreciate the help. holla atcha boy. Peace.
  12. How do you change the bumper lights? I ordered some diamond clear front bumper lights to replace the orange ones on the front. I am just curious if anyone has replaced theres, and if so how? confused in VA. Thanks guys.
  13. Thanks, I have the snow button also. It helps. But the rwd can be tricky. Hoping for the best for this winter. Maybe I will get lucky, and there will be not much snow. :D
  14. not big on that style. I hope it looks better when it comes to the US.
  15. Yeah, the car sucks in the snow. I have a 01 IS. I just bought some Sumitomo Ultra hi performance all season tires. I do not know what to expect though. I am hoping for the best.
  16. I bought the clear corner lights for my front bumper from Lextasy.com. and I do not know how to install them. No instructions. Do they pop out? Or do you have to remove the plastic cover in the wheel wells to get to them? Can someone help me out? Please. I do not want to waste them.
  17. ;) If any of you IS mod kings have a engine cover, can you shoot me a message. i would like to pick one up. Let me know ok.
  18. I am no longer looking for an exhaust. I bought a rod millen exhaust. for my IS 300. It seems pretty nice, and its chaeper than the l-tuned. thanks guys.
  19. Does anyone have a l-tuned exhaust for sell? Do you all reccomend this type? Its what I hear is the best. Let me know.
  20. I have one, it was on my IS, and I took it off because it kept causing the check engine light to come on. I would like to put it back on, but is there a way to stop the cel. Or will it eventually stop, or should I not put it on. If anyone has ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. Let me know please.
  21. Let me know. I did PM you , I do not know much about this PM thing though. Also, you have apexi n1 exhaust? I am looking into buying a exhaust for my car too, do you reccomend this apexi. I like the greddy evo, and the l-tuned, also HKS dragger 2. I don't know though
  22. I like it. Is that the cheapest you can sell it for? Just curious. Also the video did nit work. It does look very stock. I like that. Any chance on a group buy special price? I am sure people are interested. Also, do you have any l-tuned exhaust, and how much? Thanks
