Im REALLY bored tonight, so i was looking over picture of my old IS300, which i sold almost a year ago. Here is a little timeline of how i built her up from bone stock....
When i first got it, and put some wheels on it...

then i dropped it, put a few performance mods, a front lip and cf hood.

Then i decided to put 19s on it and paint the lip and get rid of the cf hood.

i went through a few other sets of wheels, and then i decided to write all over the car with a sharpie...![Big Grin](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

WHY the hell did i do that you ask? Well.. cause it went into the paint/body shop to get completely stripped down and painted inside and out anyhow... hehe.
here was the finished product with new wheels/body kit...

then shortly after that, i put some volk gt-n's on it, and then sold the car
i really do miss it, and i kinda wish i had kept it. i spent so much time and money on it and just let it go so easily.

the work was top notch, car was taken apart.. doors, fenders, hood, trunk, head/tail lights.... then painted. thats why i miss it... so much money spent on it.. lol.
ps. the color it was painted was Sterling Grey Metallic, from the BMW M3/ 7-series/X5. in case anyone was wondering.

Wow the final product is sweet as hell. I liked the wheels with the phat lip better than the last set you had but looked sweet anyway. Any pics of the interior ??

hey i had an is300 as well. black on black. i like the lspotline wheels benny. you shoulda kept it. i regret it sometimes considering the amount of power i could have put in it and the fact thats its not as pricey as tuning the 350. not to mention more room in the is300 and if you ask me that car handles awesome. CRY!!!!
