I think this will be the last price drop before I think about removing a few things. I am going to lower to $32,000 and I will negotiate with a few of the parts if the buyer is interested.


Boosted, I'm usually not a big fan of tricked out Japanese automobiles, but yours is a sight to behold. What an excellent job you've done on the car, and someone will be very lucky to get that at $32,000. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks slk. I just wanted to build a powerful car, but keep a luxury sport look. I appreciate the kind words from other luxury car enthusiasts.

The kind words are well deserved, you have excellent taste for mods.

Very well modded automobile.

The stock IS 300 in my opinion was a poor handler, the rear always wanted to oversteer and fishtail out. However, I'm sure that with so many extensive modifications, you've gotten that fixed.

Slk, again thanks for the kind words. Modding is so tricky so you don't lose the look of the car by going so aggressive that the car loses its styling.

Patrick, the oversteer/understeer issue has definitely been fixed with the coilovers/sway combo. The Zeals are truly a remarkable coilover that has far exceeded any expectations I could have had.
