Do not start bolting or fixing bodykits to it, keep all the original parts so that it can be turned back to standard as they are becoming rarer now !

Like the wheels and the car looks clean.

what they all said, dont but a body kit on it keep it original 'iS', a) its worth more and b) they look good anyway. a mint 'iS' is worth about 2k upwards.

Looking good mate. Dont go sticking any bodykits on an IS though as they are "special"!lol. Im biased.

If your gonna put a kit on though then stick on a genuine tec2 kit but i think your car looks dam smart as it is! 8) Spend your money on a turbo.

Nice car mate,

I like the sounds of all your plans apart from the e36 kit, they look way too rounded for the boxy e30 IMO

Your car tho, so your choice :D
