Oh So Shiny

We bring you this sweet IS350 from JR Panganiban of North Miami. When JR was shopping to replace his E46 M3, he just wanted a sedan that was Japanese(reliable), automatic (so his family can drive, if needed), and something that already looks sexy stock. But, like everyone else, the mod bug bit him and he could not stop modding. Since he started he had only one goal in mind, and that was to use nothing but JDM parts on this car. He wanted to put his own twist on modding, making it sporty while keeping it classy (SportyVIP.)
JR says,"This car doesn't have many performance parts available so there is nothing much I can really do. However, I want to go on air someday. In 2 years of ownership I feel like I have done a lot and I don't want to go too far, as I don't want to get bored with this car. I love this car."
