Default With that said.. Now what? (Intake, exhaust, BBS rims questions)

Ok so i ordered the car and now the waiting period begins. Mt question to everyone here is basically perforamce oriented. I ordered a white on black 350 nav prem 18` rims spoiler as loaded as u can order them with under a 6 month wait in the eastcoast. I want to get gains from the car. What is out their and whats bettter. I kno their is only a short ram intake but is it better than stock. And is the exhaust available yet or what exhausts are available. No chip yet either correct? My last question is the rims. On the blue is350 in the mod section what is the serial numb or name of the bbs rims on that car? Thank you in advance...

Wiat and ask when you get the car. Any aftermarket stuff is likely to change by the time you ACTUALLY get it.

no im not very clueless but you can perceive someone however you may. I just do not want to bolt on garbage too the car. I already ordered the red out tail lights. I am also going to change the drl/parking lights/fogs/backups all to xexon color. SInce the license plate lights are of a xexon color already match it all. But i do not like the xexonmatch ones i dont think its bright enough looks a little dull to me. Its still funny how i asked numerous questions and not one was answered! No one knows the make name or model number of the bbs?

P.S.tonyxcom got those guccis on dun get it twisted HAHhahAH and never brake only dip HAHAH

not many people have gotten intake exhaust mods because the intakes arent doing much because there is no true cold air system yet and there havent any exhaust systems officially released, tanabe, LMS are still testing, someone said the factory HKS system is out but that hasnt been confirmed.

Try a search please its all available to read about

Like what "4TehNguyen " said, No true cold air intake yet, and exhausts are being tested. I'm sure within 6 months, we'll have something to talk about. As far as accessories, I want to see an LED red out tail light. (Just don't understand why Lexus didn't do it that way).

Be patient, man!!! The 2nd gen IS was released about 4.5 months ago. Give it some time. Hopefully there will be something out there when you final get your car.

No, I haven't seen any pully or chip yet for the 2nd gen IS.
