Am I the only one that noticed that this is the 03 with Brembo brakes? The Brembos were only available on 03 MT unless you got them after you bought the car.

I think it's a lost opportunity that you didn't go straight to after market parts with your build. Most likely the mod bug will bite you at some point and you'll have to replace all your bumpers again.

I almost wish somebody would reverse into me so I could have an excuse to get an aftermarket bumper lol. Not really I guess...

But regardless of what route you're taking, I think the car is looking great and especially with how fast you turned it around, I am very impressed. Hopefully the car treats you well and you don't have any additional problems with it once the necessary repairs are taken care of.

as of right now the car is sitting in my garage waiting on the last couple parts, yesterday i bought a high-pressure/ heat resistant tubing in bright orange color, very tempted to either replace or wrap all of the wiring around the engine and see how it looks...
However i do not want it to look tacky or overdone...

on the title it says 04, so i am going to rely on that... The funny thing is from the pictures which i saw before i bought it i had no clue that it had the brembo package or the sunroof or nav... You should've seen my reaction when i saw the car in person!

good job man! so your car has NAV too??? if so. then damn good buy!
But i have to agree w/ some of the guys on aftermarket body kits. But as long as your happy w/ your car thats the important part!
If you have extra $$$ suspension upgrade is a good idea.

In regards to paint ill go for the lexus IS white paint. it looks really nice. IMHO

Keep up the good work man!!!!
