I met the Calgary Sun Editor for the Automobile section, and he just received this TRD IS300 from Toyota Canada to test out for a couple weeks (rough job eh...) so here is a sneek peek to the car the is featured in next weeks Sun...

The L-tuned IS has a front fascia with carbon fiber style grill, side skirts, rear spoiler, rear valance, an exhaust with a polished stainless tip, L-Tuned Badging and floormats, stiffer suspension which includes front and rear sway bars and springs dropping it 1", 18" cast aluminum wheels ( in silver or gunmetal gray) and 225/40ZR18 tires.

Not too shabby at all. I'd like to get all of those performance bits without the cheesy body kit though.

Bodykit is what distinguishes and makes it look sweet

I was thinking about getting an IS300 and making it look like the above but again it was another expensive process and in the end, I found a better deal. But that car is still sweet, I just didn't want LUDELVR to come and try to jack my taillights hehe

Anything from L-Tuned is so large. Makes the car look tight though. Has anyone seen that Jap vid with the Altezza turbo drifting around the track. Now thats a hype IS200, with the lip and everything. Yo Bobby your rims are so nice dude. I was drooling over them yesterday. So if you find spots thats not rain but drool.

Peace

I believe the motor is the same 215hp/218llbs torque
It sure looks sharp with the kit/wing/suspension/wheels

Yeah, they should've at LEAST did i/h/e on it... oh wait it's got a TRD muff right?:rofl: :nut: Other than that, it IS a sweet car. But I would change the taillights tho.. looks too ricey :thumbsup: :rofl:

Altezza's look ricey on ever car except the IS 300. They were the ones that created the lights (Hence the name Altezza, the Japanese name of the IS300). Altezza's should only be on IS 300's! :)
