Good looking Altezza. How many miles?

Could use some tint. And my only criticism is that the wheels look a little huge for the car (or maybe it's the color). I think some chrome rims would look hot!

thanks. its pushing 110K. im over tint. dont need/ want to be hassled by cops. CA is NOT tint friendly. you really think the wheels looks too big? i some times think they look too small. lol. and not a fan of chrome. but have been looking at full polishing these. but thats too rich for me right now. been thinking about getting a set of 18s in SBC (super bright coat) or WMB (work metal buff) finish. but same reason, money is tight. :(

Looks good but theres too much clear going on for me.
And DO NOT get those Emotions.

Id say do some 18's and go staggered.

Nice IS, i wouldnt change a thing. I like the way it looks.
I've always wanted one and even debated in getting a used is300 over a brand new 09 fit. Your car makes me feel i should've went with the is300 route

yeah. definitely not getting emotions. those are tired.

and i was thinking of going 18s, but it would make my car a even lower. if i get air cups/ or air cup/ coilover combo, maybe.

i think you made a good choice. in going with new. i want something new.
with an 8 year old car that has been dumped for the last 6 years and used to drive 200 miles a day for a year and a half you're gonna have problems. so i'd go new over used 90% of the time.
