Well right now the Eclipse hasn't left the garage since it's losing battle with the dip in PC Beach. So I have been just driving this around. Just got the windows tinted and 2- 12"'s put in. So it's fun. You can have the Eclipse for a while, it just doesnt have a front bumper, or seats right now. LOL.

The air shocks are always affected by the weather. So that always sucks. but I have never had them go out or anything. If for some reason they do, they are warrented depending on what kit you have. I know Vertical Doors Inc. will send you out new shocks next day if you have a problem with it. I think Decah is the same way. I wouldn't trust anything else. The shocks get stiffer in the summer and weaker in the winter. I hate it. LOL.

Lol yuup, same problem i have, i have the decah v2.0 kit, my driver side air shock went out, they replaced it but i had to send the shock back to have it looked it to make sure it wasn't damaged by me, but it was all free, except for me shipping it to them...but yea during the winter the second you put the door up...it just starts to come right back down lsowly Lol, glad summer and warmer weather is easier on the shock

Do you not like the new redesigned IS350 w/ more power? I'm curious why you went ahead and got that car with an all new one coming out so soon. I think the styling on the new one is a bit off to some but I like it. Just interested in your decision to go ahead with the 05. Looks sweet by the way. Liking the color.

I love the body style of this one better then the new 2006 model. I think lexus really took away from the sportyness of the car and made it more of a smaller luxery sedan. Plus, the brand new ones are going to be alittle more expensive, non-negotiable, and there will be a waiting list. Instead, I love this car, got every option, got the color I want, and was abel to negotiate a hell of a deal on the car because I told him they need to push it off the floor and make room for the 2006's. IT gave me a lot of negotiation power to buy this model instead of paying sticker for an 2006. I like what they did with the 2006 in turns of options, power, luxery. I just think they took everything away that MADE the IS great. The sportyness, the gauge cluster, interior, etc.
