Shot this today, local VIP'd IS300 daily driver.

 

very nice pixs but not really a fan of Altezza

 

hot car but not feeling the rims to much

 

arghhh.. I don't like how the site resizes these. Full Res here.

 

Synth19 i like your NSX a lot more

 

car looks good ... i was always a fan of that gen is300

 

Nice pics, but I don't like that car.

 

Nice shoot But too much body for me

 

Nice photography. I like IS300's but this one does nothing for me.

 

nice pics, but not VIP enough for me...then again i live in japan

 

The car is nice, but the rims are ugly, and the hood ornament just does not work with the car.

 

I'm surprised at all the negative comments! The car is not a true VIP, but VIP inspired. Nonetheless, I really dig the car. I'm impressed he daily drives it and parks it outside in the city. And SSR Vienna Kreis Wheels- love 'em! But just me....

 

Great Pics, but not a big fan of this car

 

Damn so much hate on a clean IS. The wheels are legit and nicer than most of the stuff on here. Car could lower, even for a DD.

Great pics.

 

i agree 100%

 

Aside from the hood ornament and rims its very nice. I dont care if they are baller SSR wheels, they are ugly as hell.

 

Love those wheels. Great shots synth!

 

Pics look good, the VIP style on the car looks tasteful, but I don't like his side visors. Isn't the JDM visor more flush with the window, his bulge out too much so they'd have to go.

 

Gap between the hood and headlights bother me, I think he should take the eye lids off to make it less noticeable. Gap will be less the dramatic.

 

I think there is too much going on on that car. I am just not feeling it

 

i think the wheels need to be more aggressive and he needs to lower the car a tad bit. I agree that he needs to change the wheels.

 

I loved that generation of the IS300. I guess I'm strange in this bunch for liking it....but then again, I love the Nissan Gloria (aka 1G Infiniti M) too.

Not a huge fan of the rims on this, but the car is otherwise and the shots are awesome.

BTW, what is that hood ornament? Is that the Altezza symbol? Not familiar with that.

 

Great pics! car

 

love the IS300, but that car seems very tacky to me.

 

Great pics, but that rear hangs to low.

 

needs more low. rims are fine just as long as he's lowered more.

great pictures tho!

 

I think most of us here don't like closed face wheels. I know I don't. That said, I am impressed that it looks as good as it does for a daily driver and for the most part I like it. The first shot looks great.

And as always....awesome work with the camera.

 

Love the pics, hate the rims.

I just don't get the VIP theme.

 

I like VIP up until wheels start going horizontal.... but this made me realize how dated the IS300 looks

Not a fan of this car, but I can appreciate the work the owner put into it.

 

+1

Nice photography work as usual, but I'm just not feeling that car.

 

Not diggin it at all...
Aren;t those the same rims Phil has?

 

I miss my bright yellow IS300... No one else around me had the C-West kit.
thumbsup for DDing this!!!

 

Synth, nice work on the photography. Not a fan of the car, especially the eye lids.

 

Great photos of a decent car. I don't feel that the 1st gen IS can be considered VIP. Maybe VIP styled, but it's too small and looks sportier than the LS's, GS's, M's, Q's etc.. I've always wanted one, though. They hold their value and I never felt an 80k mile IS300 was worth $15k.

 

The pics look nice but I'm not liking the IS very much.

 

I know what you mean. I hate how the value of the IS' have been pretty steady. I would have got another IS300, but I couldn't find another yellow one... but then again I guess it's a blessing. I wouldn't have ever heard of Acurazine if I had another IS300.

 

love VIP, love the IS.. not feeling this VIP inspiration tho...

 

Not feeling the IS...

 

I dont like it. Looks tacky to me.

 

I agree with the others here...

• great photog
• looks great for a daily driver
• meh on the car itself
