Welcome to the forum man-The FX is an excellent vehicle on many levels and IS is a great support system, killer combination. Have you found your ride of choice yet?

 

[panhgsa]

well.. theres quite a few of them out there but they are also pretty high on mileage. Im looking for a used one, theres an 03FX35 with the premium or tech package i saw at a local dealer, asking 17,920 with 66k. laser red with blk interior. im in love with the color. its the first red fx ive seen, usually i see blk DG white or copper.

Red is slick, not very common and its a good red. Not too orange, not too blue. We have two red FX's in the NWFX group, TALAL and The 45 Beast. One good bonus on choosing red is that the rear bumper reflectors blend in and the tailights (if you don't upgrade to clear as well)

 

[dopie]

+1 red is nice as hell!!!!

 

[panhgsa]

yeah its def a rare color. but what do you guys think, is an 03FX35 with 66kmiles for $17k good? it has the factory 20s on, and i def like to powdercoat em black. ive seen pics on here and they look sexy. drop it add spacers and prob paint the grill blk as well. i dont even own one, yet im fantasizing about what i would do to it lol. its inevitable. mod bug gets you. browsing aound here in IS doesnt help either haha! just makes me wanna own one badddddddddd:tears:

Red Rules - I say jump on it! Mine is an 04 and has 100,000 miles on it. But with all the love I have poured into it (and money) there's no WAY I would let it go for only 17K.

 

[panhgsa]

sweetness. yeah im just waiting for one of 3 potential buyers for my MR2. came by the dealer today and test drove it, pretty solid.. and that sexy growl coming out the back. i know for sure i wont be able to sleep tonight..:tears:

Welcome. I like the MR2. 2 bad it died out

 

[panhgsa]

Hey all, so its been 4 days since i sold the MR2 and picked up the 03FX35 Laser red and I am loving it. It drives and handles like no other suv I've driven. I've search the forums and decided on H&R's 20mm DRS spacers to go with my my 20in stockers.

 

[Logan]

Great first mod. Follow the spacers up with a set of H&R springs and you have a great combo. IF you can afford to do them at the same time even better......

Welcome to IS! 03 was the only year that the FX came in laser red. Too bad that color wasn't available in Canada. You'll like the look with spacers...you'll like it even more with a set of H&R springs. I did the drop in September myself and all I could think about was, why didn't I do this earlier? Happy modding!

 

[panhgsa]

yea the place where im buying my spacers from is about an hr away. so i might just pick them up. i'd post pics of the fx but i dont have enough post. im sanding down the grill as im typing this. didnt like the gold mt. fuji emblem and chrome on red is a bit tacky for my taste. So i picked up plastidip from the local home depot. when i have enough post i'll upload pics.

 

[909FX]

Welcome to the scene and congrats on your FX. Post pics when you get the chance when you are done lowering and spacers

 

[panhgsa]

I finally have enough posts to post pics! well heres my Laser Red FX with before and after(chrome grill to matte, wheels too). I just recently finished installing 8000K fogs today(sry theyre all cell pics)
enjoy the (cell)pics!:.smile:

 

[Logan]

Looks good boss, making some fast progress. Did you have the wheels powder coated?

 

[Rubare]

Welcome to IS.. Nice mods..! The FX is looking good bro.
