Congrats on the new car buddy! I'm in the same boat also because I bought a 2006 IP Coupe literally a month ago. Clean ride. Good luck with the mods.

Nice scoop! I wish we had a Tige dealership here in TN! I want to get me one, one of these days.

You also don't have dual climate control.

I have an 06 IP 6MT coupe. It's lowered on Tein S techs from a G37 coupe, Berk test pipes and a cheap o' intake. I had a true dual exhaust on it but I swapped it out for the stock exhaust just b/c I like the way the stock exhaust sounds.

I'm currently saving up to get me a set of coilovers b/c none of the springs that are available for our car will get you low although they will lower you enough to be able to tell.

WTH? I thought I was your favorite?

Haha thanks. As for the mods, so far I only have the clear corners and white license plate LED's. As a college student my hands are strapped a bit. Saving for either springs or coil covers because I want to lower it a bit and looking into HKS exhaust. That's pretty much it. Won't do anything else. Until my mods come..I love driving the car stock..it's just an amazing car overall

What do you have planned for mods?

I know how you feel being a college student and trying to buy mods haha. I currently just work and dont go to school, but my rent is so high in my 1 bedroom apartment all my extra money goes to that...

Im about to order some drop springs, i already ordered the black bumper reflectors. I like those way more than the clear lol. Ill eventually change springs out to coilovers prob early next year, and i wanna get some really agressive wheels. Possibly front bumper too, or just a lip on the stock one. Who knows ill change my mind 30 times from now until Jan 1st. im sure....

Good looking IP. I too just bought my 2005 IP about a month ago. My first 2 mods were clear corners and battery cover.

Against black paint I for some reason like the amber clear corners, but it does look weird on most other colors. ^^As for his trim goes, it is possible to get a sport suspension package without getting the premium package (moonroof n navi). Glass generally is heavier than sheetmetal thus adding weight to a 'sport' package doesnt make sense, however it is an option as well.

Welcome Larz, I too was from CRSX. I will never miss those people. I do miss the MPG on my RSX a little though but it's worth it. Love the color!
