Yeah it is, but they gave it to me cheap becuase i got so much stuff installed. The 10% Off Total cost for toys for tots helped me as well "). Everything was less than $3000 Installed

IS-F Is nice, and i could have upgraded, but when i bought my IS350 which was like 6 months ago, I didnt have the extra cash. The IS F Is really nice, but i think i would spend alot more money modding that car with the turbo capabilities and what not.

Yeah i got the new Springs. Its an exact 1" Drop on the front, and 3/4" on the rear. My buddy had the older ones and it seemed like his car sat lower. I think the new springs dont drop the car as much as the old ones did, but none the less the car looks alot better with them.

Nice F-Sport set up. BBK is going to be a nice addition. What rims are you looking at?

Everything looks great except for the Steven's Creek license plate frames.

nice ride!!! imo u should've gotten either s tech or h&r springs, especially with aftermarket rims, you'll want a lower drop. Either way, the f-sport add on looks dope!!!
