Hello all I've been on the forum a couple of months and I've had my car since December 16'. This is my 3rd vehicle and my first vehicle I truly plan to spend the time and money correctly to customize it to my liking. My first car was a Honda Fit passed down from my parents that I did as much as I could looks wise that I could afford at the time 18/19 years old working minimum wage jobs. My second vehicle, the first vehicle I purchased for myself was a 2013 Honda Accord v6 Sedan. I wanted to go from the tiny fit into a much larger car to fit my friends but I also wanted some HP so I got the v6. The car stock looked very classy and professional and I did very minimal aesthetics to the car to make it more unique and personalized. I grew very tired of the family sedan and bored and that's what led me to my Lexus purchase. I thought very hard about an Audi S4 but ultimately a certified used 14' IS350 F-Sport won out as it came with a really great warranty and a super lower interest rate.

Now that I am in a place to spend some money on toys and finally have a car worth putting some money into I have some big plans for Spring 2017 that I'm sure all of you will enjoy.

Below is a photo of the Honda Fit, the Accord, and the new (to me) IS350.

2014 IS350 AWD F-Sport (Dec 2016 - Just purchased)

I can't be exactly sure for the 17. But if they didnt change much you can find them on Amazon and for pretty cheap. Most are easy to replace exterior puddle lights are difficult, trunk is tricky.

Got the intake and exhaust installed. Also went ahead and removed dealer badge, AWD IS350 badge and replaced the dealer plate with a Carbon Fiber frame with an F logo. Also cleaned her up. Here she is:

Sounds good and is sexy as hell looking at the back end of the car. It's actually louder than I expected considering the opinion of most of the forum members. It's more than enough noise for me and it sounds good.

You will get used to the noise of the exhaust. For the first couple days, the "drone" was driving me crazy. But now, I don't even notice it.

I don't have an aftermarket intake installed, so your setup might be a tad louder.

Overall, I love the exhaust! Cold-starts sounds amazing, the revs are more deep, and Idk if its just me but I feel a bit more low end torque.

Questions...when you open the sunroof is the wrap all the way inside and wrapped around the edge so you don't see any white of the body color?
The shark fin...did they wrap it without any joints? (Like at the back) Did they take it off the vehicle?
I'm considering doing my own roof wrap in gloss black and just purchasing an Obsidian antenna from the dealer...the cover is actually pretty cheap ($35 i believe)
