wow man beautiful looking car, i love the f-sport rims. You should tint it though, 35% or 20% depending on your states laws would in my opinion finish off the car. unfortunately with the 10,000 price addition.. your almost half way to actually getting the IS-F... =(

Wow! I was considering the rims, but thought it may look a lil' funny on black cars and the price kinda kept me away, but by looking at it.........it looks pretty nice IMO. Other then that....once you start modding......there is no end.....LoL!!!
. You are one of the few who went for (almost) all the Lexus F-sport mods.

thanks
Thanks for all the comments, i posted some *slightly* better pics so you could get a lil better look, they are still kinda crappy tho. I still need to get the friend with the high end cannon to shoot some sexy glamour shots. I also got a few straight wheel pics and full side pic so you can see the stance better.
After driving it for a few weeks I'm still really digging it. I definitely have been driving it more aggressive since the changes (much to my gas budget's dismay).
pisaykotik - Yea, i'm sure I could have saved a few bucks buying online but I would still need the dealer to install them. I like the peace of mind of everything being 100% handled by the dealership and don't mind paying a lil extra for it. They take great care of me and will be servicing the car for a long time so I might as well make friends.
But that's just me, and I have a ton of respect for all the guys doing fancier mods outside of the stock market.
sincityIS - I posted some straight wheel pics for you so you can see the stance better.
Scythe - I definitely considered upgrading to the IS-F and had a blast test driving one. However, I had already done a bunch of stereo mods to my 350 and don't drive super crazy so in the end I just decided to jazz up what I had a lil.
juice14 - Yea, I got the shocks and the springs. To be honest when driving casually I can't tell the difference at all between stock and the new stuff. When driving more agressively you can definitely tell the difference, as well as lil handling boost the chasis brace & anti sways give.
Thanks again everyone, I wish I had the time and energy to go non-stock because there are some insanely sick IS's on these boards! Keep killin it!
