It has been removed now. I have seen two M3s on ebay for buy it now >10000 in the past week. Both have been removed! Both were 03 models. One an SMG convertible and athe other a manual coupe. VERY dodgy In my personal opinion.

Well if that doesn't inspire everyone to get polishing then nothing will. It makes me glad I have a black IS!

Wow. The pictures are great. I actually came into the cleaning bit to ask the hardcore guys what kind of polisher to buy if any. No need now. Porter Cable it is!

Hoover? With one of the long thin bits on it. Sorry for the crap description, I live alone but I'm not too domesticated yet!

Oh and nice shell by the way. Mine is similar. Silver, black spoiler with carbon ends, carbon running down the bonnet and black wheels. Looks pretty mean. I was going to (and still might) do a replica of my car. I had similar chrome wheels to mine and got mini reg numbers made up!

The bumper is meant to be cut out. The spoiler isn't that good but it can easily be replaced. It is functional and if you have a Traxxas Nitro 4-tec like me then you need it. Believe me!

What a nightmare of a day. Last night I went out to the car and my passenger side rear tyre was well down. Not having a foot pump and not willing to drive the car to the garage to pump it up I left it and went to work (working nights for a week, popped round and stole mums civic!) Anyway, I arrived home this morning complete with footpump only to find my driver front tyre flat! They went down so quick that I didn't want to pump it up. I just gave in and stole my dads RX300 SE-L filled with standard 17s and changed them all. That'll be the 19s off for a while while I really shine up the chrome and then get my kit on. Nightmare.

I have the IS/tezz Vixen shell at home. I can vouch for the quality. I bought mine locally, the kind model shop people ordered it in for me with no surcharges! Anyway, now for a plug : www.simplyrc.com

That thing is very nice! Is it not similar to an old style ES300 in the states? Maybe I'm very wrong..... I always liked these in Gran Turismo, we all know that if it's good in a computer game then it's good in real life! Ha ha!

I can't believe some get 400+ from an IS200. Lucky you! I get about 330 when the orange light comes on if I'm lucky.

Very nice!

I got mine from AltezzaScott at Altezza Sports and Prestige. Or maybe try Prolex.

I must admit, I prefer a saloon car. It just looks more exclusive than a hatch. A nicely proportioned Lexus IS couple would be lovely though.....

Awful! That's all that can be said. Just awful.

I'm the only youngster! Well I was when I voted anyway. Not for long though, I'll be moving up to the 22 in a couple of months... Oh yeah, one more thing, you old buggers! Ha ha, the youth of today, we have no respect for our elders....

Well I'll either stick with the luxury of the Lexus brand and have a fun toy (elise, caterham, TVR etc) for summer use or I'll get a high performance beast. S4 cabrio is tempting..... I'm just a young pup though and need to get a house sorted out first!

I will have a look at the new one when it come out but I would definately consider another lex. Or maybe an R34 Skyline GTR or NSX..... Japanese is the way to go!

I have these bulbs and have also ordered a pair of fog light bulbs and a pair of full beam ones too. I think they make a fair difference and look far better too. Lets face it, a tenner for a set of bulbs delivered to the door is pretty decent. I can't wait to get them all in and tested!

I would try and pick up a used RX, the classic style (I think old style is a bit unfair as it's still fresh faced!) as this won't drop much value either. The RAV4 is nice though, has an IS look to the front!

My standard alloys were replaced when I got my car, June 2003, It's a late 2000 model. However they seem to be bubbling and stuff after only ever being washed with water (no soap or shampoo) and polished often! The car has only done 6000 miles in the time I've had it. Will they repair them now or have I had it?

Glad to see someone else is into childish toys! Sign up, we need people to get it started! Nice shell, I'm doing a non wide arch altezza just now with lots of carbon fibre!

Hi folks, maybe this is cheeky to say so on here but I am a bit of an amateur Radio Controlled Car nut. Myself and a couple of buddies have set up a forum based website for fellow enthusiasts. Whether its planes, boats, choppers or anything else you're welcome to register and have a look. It has just been released so has very few members just now! If you feel we are too biased towards cars then give us a shout and we'll set up forums for you! Visit us at SimplyRC

Any pics? Sorry, I don't. I was going to get it lowered before I took any pics and then I went away. I wish I did have pics though.

I got my 8*19s on before I went away, unfortunately I didn't have time to get it lowered. Looks sweet though. I went for 215/35*19s to make sure they fitted after having an earlier disapointment.

Just found this grille on Ebay. I think it looks sweet. I was wondering how are these items new? I don't want to get carried away with the bidding and pay too much! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW
