Stealth on wheels is a 01GGP IS300. Strictly for street use and weekend cruising only. The car is in mint condition, very close to stock specification with minor NA modifications. The interior is as is from the factory, the only difference is the TRD shift knob and JDM dash tray. I am not an audio buff so the unit is stock. I would rather hear the engine drone, that is music to my ears. The body is actuated by RMM front lip spoiler and side skirts. TRD rear lip spoiler and de-badge except for the "L" symbol.
The car rides on 17" gunmetal Weapon rims with Falken tires. The brake system is stock calipers and pads, enhanced by Stop Tech stainless steel brake lines front/rear and slotted rotors. The stock suspension is enhanced with the complete PLP Chassis bracing-front/rear strut tower bars and trunk brace.
Engine modification is a simple PLP silent flow intake which retains the stock air box and PLP drop in air filter. PLP vented radiator panel for positive air pressure and PLP heat shield for cooling intake temperatures and to retain heat in the exhaust system. The stock exhaust manifold and pipings has been replaced with a Turbo East max power kit with high flow cat. The stock muffler has been replaced with a Greddy SP2 full cat back exhaust kit. A Tech grounding kit has been installed to upgrade the electrical system. TRD high pressure oil cap and radiator cap have replaced the stock ones.
Horsepower: Fast enough so the wife is not scared to ride in the car.
