My (new to me) 2011 IS350 F-Sport
Just took a few pictures of my 2011 F sport that I just got a few weeks ago, great shape no scratches or dents with just 45k mi.
So far I put on H&R drop springs with Tokico Blue struts, spaced out my liquid graphite wheels 20mm all around, roof spoiler, Morimoto fogs lights, F-sport air intake, and Tanabe exhaust.
Love this car and the power from the 350.

I really like your wheels....super nice contrast with the Black paint!
I think that silver would also look good with my Tungsten Pearl, if you don't mind, what is your set up as far as offset and wheel sizes, are they staggered?
One more question, where did you get them?
Wheels are next on my wish list.
Thanks for any info.

Looks good , love the H&Rs.Great drop. Nice to see you found a low mileage IS. My 2007 has 44K on it. Bought her from an older lady who rarely drove it. I think they're not that common.

Thanks, I loved the Tanabe's as soon as I put them on, not too loud but better than the silent stock exhaust..

Tires are Michelin Pilot sports A/S 3++
I had +35's fitted on the rear and they were flush - looked amazing but I didn't want to get into rolling my fenders so I stayed with the +45
The rims do come in different finishes as well.. I just chose the Silver w/ clearcoat as I wanted to keep the "premium stock look" i call it lol
I just ordered them through the performance wheel and tire shop in town.. they took about 3 weeks to come in.. Niche Road wheels is based out of California
The wheels are actually Niche Turin M170

Looks good dude! Nice to see another clean IS. Looks tight with the drop, front bumper aero, wheels, and window spoiler. Got my IS 3 mos ago was also super clean dealer serviced. I did all the mods.
BTW nice backdrop with the lush greenery is that your house?

Nice car!! Good choice on the modifications. I have a Smoky Granite Mica 2011 IS350 F-Sport as well with H&R Sport Springs. I hope to get the Tanabe exhaust one day.
Just wondering, was it hard to find a 2011 IS350 F-Sport in Hawaii? I assume most of them were IS250 F-Sports?

The H&R are German made quality springs, the Tokicos are great struts too. I noticed the stocks were Tokico's also.
Yeah IS350's with low mileage are a rare bird, I felt fortunate to come across this one, I was looking for a while and thought it wasn't possible to find a low mi. 350 that I could afford.

Yes it was difficult finding a 2011 IS 350 F-Sport, in fact this one was the only one I came across when I was looking for a IS350.
There are tons of 250"s and a few older 350's but no F-Sport ones and usually with high mileage, or with the sticky dash etc.
You can find the newer 3rd gen F-Sports around but you never see the 2011-2013 F sports around much if at all..
I felt fortunate to find a 2011 low mileage IS 350, and lucked out it was an F-Sport one on top of that.
I believe a doctor owned it before so he hardly drove or abused it much.. it is pretty much like new inside and out..(I got lucky)
BTW ..the Smoky Granite Mica would have been my choice of color if I had a choice. I think that is the best color for the IS.
You'll love the Tanabe's for an exhaust, I didn't know what to expect and I didn't want it loud with a drone.
The Tanabe's sound just right and the quailty is top notch and exhaust tips are beautiful.
