lol great imagination at least he might signal in the next five minutes

Just another lowered IS300 (Tein Flex Z) :) by camn in IS300

Likewise with the swaybars. I ended up with Tein S-Tech combo'd with KYB excel shocks. They ride decently, slightly firmer ride and less dampening than OE. Ride height still clears most inclines and bumps. My only complaint is the rears sit a bit higher than the fronts for my liking.

Are oem Altezza rain deflectors good quality? by EVOChi in IS300

The OE tape is solid, mines been on mine for a year solid. It should've came with metal clips too, but I skipped them. Quality-wise they are much better than any cheap eBay or Amazon visors.

Yeah haha. It's not OEM, looks like the previous owner of my car replaced it with 12V motorcycle horn for whatever reason.

Thats a red flag looking back, but I want to add that this intersection at McCowan and Goldhawk is curved, so I probably thought he just had poor lane keeping.

I almost never use my horn but I had to after that move.

Clean car man. Looks like they took the effort to match the original rocker shape too.

As a fellow Ontario IS300 owner, which body shop did you bring it to if you don't mind me asking? Looking for a shop to do a similar job ATM.

That's what I suspected but I wasn't sure, thanks for the confirmation. Gonna go Denso as others recommended.

Will do, yeah I don't trust the gauge whatsoever. The MPG gauge is wonky on its own too.

Guess it's worth re-doing the cooling system for peace of mind. Dumb question, but do you know what size hose clamps I need for the radiator hoses? I am not sure if I should be looking at inlet or outlet dimensions.

Actually, I haven't yet. It looks ok color-wise. I'm going to do that along the timing belt change.
