Default Joining the IS family (with pics) spot the first mod?

Hey guys and gals. I picked up my 2009 is250 a few weeks ago and I love it! I'm coming from a 2006 Subaru legacy gt... Miss the acceleration, but the Lexus far makes it up in luxury So one of the pics is the first day I got it and the other is 3 days later. Spot the first mod?

Def have learned a lot already. This is a great forum! That's right f-sport exhaust and intake. I also put in a parrot mki9100 for Bluetooth audio streaming and phone. This forum was great help for removing the head unit!

I'm thinking about a lot of things (sways, shocks, wheels) but I might consider a front lip, mainly because there are two imperfections closer to the middle (previous owner must have bumped something) problem is I need a lip that runs the length of the stock and covers most of the area in the middle. Any suggestions?

Yeah, problem was that I wanted all wheel drive and wasn't going to be able to buy a new 350. I also have a long commute and gas milage was a concern. May upgrade to the 350 in a few years if I find a nice awd in the area.
