Another IS in the GTA - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I purchased my IS in December of 2004 and have loved every drive since. It wasn't too long before I started searching for ways to make my IS unique to me,... and then came L-Tuned. It started with a single photo by Canadian Driver Magazine that reviewed the 2003 L-Tuned IS300.

It took months and months of searching but I finally found a complete body kit. However it was silver and still had a retail price of over $5000CDN...I just couldn't do it. So came the Carson Tuned kit from Steve Ganz at Carson Toyota.

And so it continues...I caught the mod bug hard and it hasn't gone away. Here's a photo history of the changes my cars been through and some hints of what's to come (custom projects).

December 2004 - Winter Wheels and Stock Summers

Spring 2005 - L-Tuned Wheels

Summer 2005 - Carson Tuned Kit and 35% Tints

Summer 2005 - Custom L-Tuned Badges

Summer 2005 - TRD Grille w/L-Tuned Badge

Summer 2005 - Blacked Headlights

Fall 2005 - Genuine BMW M3 Spoiler

Spring 2006 - L-Tuned Exhaust, Springs, Sways, OEM '05 shocks, Altezza Grille, RX330 Antenna, Blacked sidemarkers

Today: I have an OEM L-Tuned rear lip new in box, but needs to be painted black. Also some steering wheel magic with BMW influence. And new brake system on the way.

Welcome to the club! Don't think I've seen you around... would have recognized the rims...

Yeah, IS's are so common now... you gotta work hard to stand out from the crowd.
