Car looks good man. I was shitting my pants driving home during the first snow storm here, got home just fine tho. The Blizzaks really are amazing.

I'm surprised you haven't switched to the 2012 headlights yet; I'm looking to do that soon along with the BC coils hopefully.

Nice! I had some fun in my M3 with winter tires this week. I wanted to see what the limits in traction were. Lots of fun going past that limit though!

I haven't switched because I love my turning headlights and I don't want the constant light on the dash for removing it. I love the black chrome look but they also just cost so much to switch too.

So now have over 108500 miles on the IS-F now. I have enjoyed every minute of it. The car is a blast to drive every day. Sometimes when I occasionally get bored with it and think I want to get a Porsche for some reason I just find a back road and stop on the gas and all is well again.

Added something new in preperation for my the winter ahead and my planned ski trips. No it won't be a year round mod like seems to be the current fad but I do like the look with it on.

I thought you were going to say you were trading it in. I'm glad you're keeping it, did you ever decide to get headers? Car looks awesome I have left the Honda/acura family but I still lurk in a few threads on here.

Wow . You really enjoyed it. Looks good. With that mileage and mods into it, I'd keep her till the wheels fall off. A Porsche would be another toy.....

I have decided to do headers but they are aways off unforunately. I am saving them as a way to keep me interested in the car down the road. I plan to get rid of my track exhaust and get a street exhaust + headers as most have reported that will keep the volume and rumble I get now at full throttle and idle with none of the drone that I have. It is a long way off but I plan to do it the start of 2015 as a present to myself for having the car finally paid off.

No timing chain service that I can find for it in the services for up to 150k miles. At that point I might look into it though. The water pump was replaced under warranty/tsb at 50k miles since it was leaking. It was a known issue with the 06-08 water pump model they used. It was replaced with the redesigned model and I have had no issues since then.

Thanks. I could never let it just sit. It will make finding a new daily driver that is as much fun down the road much harder that is for sure.

That is the plan actually. I have no intent on selling it. It was also in a small fender bender about a year after I got it so that kills some of the value too. At this point I want to keep it till it isn't worth running anymore so that I can save to buy something that is a worthy upgrade over it.

Yeah I am very happy with how good it has run. Most is highway but still it has been great.

I love to drive but I might skip a drive that long and grab a flight instead. Definitely want to come out and hit the slopes sometime for sure.

Looks sick! I considered a roof rack for the M3, but I can also use the pass through for skis.

I am terrible at packing light. I normally pack the trunk like a puzzle so it becomes hard to use the pass through.

Looks awesome!! I really like the rack too. Can't believe it's almost at 110k! Guess all those trips up and down the east coast add up

Yeah I can't believe I have that many miles on it either. Those trips definitely add up the miles quickly. I need to start looking into if I can extend my CPO warranty since as much as I want to upgrade in 2-3 yrs it will probably be more like 5-6yrs.

Possible delays due to the wonderful state of NC and their stupid DMV laws. Oh and banks that take forever to process things.

IS-F through a CEL on the way to the dealer last week to have an inspection done. Now that I know what it wrong that might throw a wrench in this entire thing as well.

Yep.. that color is the best one for IS-F.

My friend had the same IS-F with the loudest exhaust ever. He got T-boned by this girl and upgraded it to RC-F.
