When I first got the car to replace the S2000 as a daily.
Too much badging so went for a quick fix with plastidip.
Car had too much body roll for my taste so I got Swift springs and F sport rear sway (not pictured).
Painted and sticker'd the front calipers, the two tone stock ones weren't doing it for me.
LED upgrades
GFX rear bumper lip installed
Got an eBay F-Sport style grille, deleted the L logo a bit but put it back on later.
Aftermarket Bi-Xenon projector fitted in the high beam area, OEM + Aftermarket lows, and OEM highs + aftermarket highs. Also had the fog lights wired to engine "on" status using OEM fog stalk to toggle on/off so I could run them whenever the car was on without lowbeams.
Wheels for a while, 5:Axis Design S5:F
Switch back DRL LED strips wired to parking lights.
Tanabe Medallion Touring + F-Sport Intake (no pictures)
Thanks! The pedals came with the car. Are they normally different? I've been thinking about keeping the IS350 emblem and removing the LEXUS one or removing both, unsure for now but it's not a big issue. Or I may just redo them in gloss black after I get all the major stuff over with haha.
How's the ride with the swift springs? I've been wanting to order them but have been putting it off.....mainly because of no time on my end..lol. But any feedback on the ride would be appreciated.
The ride compared to the stock sport suspension is a bit more comfortable on minor bumps and long dips. It's not as harsh on the rebound. Under cornering load, it feels more planted and responds quickly. The height difference from OEM sport springs to Swift springs is barely noticeable (about 1 finger all around). I did feel a noticable difference in the handling and ride comfort.
