OK so here it is from start to finish, I know that I'm going to be called ricey but
that's fine. The reason teh car has so many appearance mods and not many
performance mods is because 1) I was always planning on turbocharging the car
so I thought it would be a waste to throw $2000 in N/A mods and 2) it still
always stood out and impressed people by looking as clean and tasteful as it
was. I never wanted it to be flashy persay, I just wanted it to look...well, nice.

that's me with the car posing for a shot to get on Tuner Transformation, I got
the callback for it but I was at work, by the time i got home and got the
message and called back they had already chosen another IS. Figures, they put
a TurboEast kit on it.....

I like the IS so much more than the STI (and I like STI's). Boost it and you have a winner sir.
