Default Mod Suggestion: Help Needed

Hi all,

Currently have a few mods sitting in my house waiting for my wheels to get here and have some cash to get 1 more big mod. Need some suggestions on what to do! My setup is at the bottom. Thanks in advance

Priority goes to a lip kit obviously the most visually altering project I can undertake. BBK has been tossed around, but I think that will be my final mod because 1. its going to be the most expensive, and 2. I dont track ect its purely for looks. Or should I split it up and do a few different things? LED swaps is going to be done as soon as VLeds replenishes their inventory.

Trying to keep around $1k-1.5k for my next project but have no idea what to get. The springs/exhaust/intake/wheels arent on the car yet until the wheels get here they are sitting in my spare bedroom lol.

My current setup is
08 IS250 Obsidian Navi
LC818 in Satin Black 19"
6kHID 3kFogs
F sport Springs (I DD and my girl likes to take my car and she fails)
Tanabe Exhaust
JoeZ Intake in Special Edition Blue
CarbonFiber Vinyl Interior

Lip kit would probably be my choice, although if you don't have navi already, a FlyAudio unit might be a good choice. Another thing I noticed, is you don't have sways yet. Maybe get a set of sways and a used FlyAudio would be just in your budget.

Yeah sways should be the first thing you do, especially given how cheap they are on Sewell and how easy they are to install, especially for someone knowledgeable about cars as you seem to be. Sways I think are the best bang for your buck mod for sure.

Otherwise, do you have any kind of body kit? I like the GFX kit on my IS350, but you may want something more unique/custom. In any case, I think lips/skirts would be most visually altering and wouldn't break the budget.

Theres a pair of sways sitting around here somewhere than I think we took of a trade that you just reminded me of. If someone else hasnt pinched them I might have myself a free set! Yea I dont have a kit yet, I am going to do GFX sides but might mix and match 2 different front and rears. I love the way a diffuser looks on the back so I may do that and if I can find a vertex front that looks the most appealing to me
