I bought door edge gaurd and cut it at 45degree and cut it to fit. Looks alot cleaner and more OEM that way I thought.

Added a Mishimoto Carbon fiber oil catch can with some braided stainless steel lines. Had to make a custom bracket to mount it but came out pretty clean.

Added the F-sport rear brace. It is noticeable the car is more solid now.

Thanks alot! How do you like your AWD350? No comparison I bet.

I sold my IS250 on Monday because I hadn't driven it in the last year since getting my IS350. They both drive differently, which is weird. The 250 is a softer gentler ride perfect for cruising. The 350 is much more faster and more fun for someone like me who loves speed. I have the F-Sport Cold Air Intake, Rear Sway Bar and Round Exhaust Tips in my trunk from Sewell and I hope to get them all put on in the next week or so.

I want to lower the car but i'm worried about the issues that I hear about on here associated with a lowered AWD IS. How have things changed for you with your suspension upgrades?

I hear that i wished they had the awd 350 when i was looking. Now i dont even really need awd since I have Tacoma 4x4 truck for winter time anyways so the extra speed would be nice.

I have not experieced the issues people talk about with the extreme vibrations at idle and what not. I'm pretty low for an AWD 24.5 from the ground all around they say to stay about 25inches but i dont think i would go much lower when i look at my front axles they have alot of angle to them. I imagine one day that will mess up some boots possibly. The issues seem to be hit or miss with these cars. One thing i do have is the RCA drop which pushes the axel a little straighter so maybe that helps some not really sure.
