I got it from eBay. The quality of the materials and paint matching is 9 out of 10. Plus, I think I got the trunk and lip spoiler for a combined $90 shipped and painted.

I am looking for the front license plate bracket. Anybody have one hanging around or knows where to get one. Also am wondering about that curved slimline plate frame under accessories could be used in place of the bracket. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks

Great looking car. Love the lip and the spoiler.

Are you lowered? If so what method did you use?

Did you have a stock iPod kit or retrofit?

Thank you very much. I am lowered on lowering links. The iPod kit came with the car. I guess it's stock. I am not sure!

Thanks for the comments, guys! The fronts are 20x9 with around a +10 offset and the rears are 20x10.5 with a +5 offset. That's with the spacers.

Haha yep I love the design. They are still in the family; on my best friend's IS. The wheels are 9.5 and 10.5 with close to 0 offset front and rear. R disc and O disk.

nice. my brombacher's are 19x9+21 L disk front w/ 15mm spacer (19x9+6) to clear the calipers and 19x10-0 A disk rears in burning black. i would have loved to do A disk front O disk rears but mine barely clear as is.
