Tint the top of your windshield, if you hate having the sun in your eyes all the time like myself.

ceramic tint for the windshield if you park outside a lot.

a good set of wheels will look pretty good at stock height, but it is the start of the slippery slope...

the 350 only needs the rear sways.. the front isnt worth it on 350.

Sways, tint, gfx, LED interior is nice, same with sport pedals and illuminated door sills, ipod integration if you have an iphone or ipod (ML plus from vaistech), and Fsport intake should be a good start.

Some other low cost mods include the weatherstrip mod and the LS locks/lights: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...her-strip.html

After that, you can decide if you want to lower your car. Depending on budget, get either Fsport springs+bilstein shocks or KW v3s to preserve ride quality. I had megans for a while but just couldnt live with the decrease in ride quality. IMO if you care about ride quality, theres really only oem, fsport/bilstein, or KW as viable choices.

For exhaust, either get fsport if you're fine with a single to dual exhaust, or Joez/PPE if you want a true dual design (sounds much nicer IMO).

Thats just off the top of my head. go ahead and PM me if you have any questions.
