Please post links with any suggestions!

Nav hack is already well documented in the 2IS FAQ above unless there is another one or anything unique to the IS-F I'm not aware of.

Changing out the fogs to HIDS 3k should be the same thing as the 2IS DIY fog?

Also, I can't seem to find a DIY for low beams on the IS, it'd be nice to put that up as well.

Good stuff so far guys!

I agree.
There is a thread on how TO DIY add fender lights to the fender front slits. I can't find it and came in here thinking it would be in here.

Would one that summarizes known TSBs be useful - or too many to fool with?
