Yup. First couple of things will most likely be front and rear OEM lip kit, and Spec-D taillights. If I ever go performance, just intake and exhaust. Anywhere else that would be a good option to get the lip kit from, besides the dealer? Can I change the intake and exhaust without having to tune?

Very nice! I have the Wald style front lip and absolutely love the way it looks.Definitely would recommend getting it over OEM. I don't have a rear lip yet so I can't give you a recommendation for that. I haven't seen any other place besides the dealership where you can get the OEM lip kit. As far as exhaust and intakes, you do not need to tune in order to change them. Tuning for the 2IS is still relatively new and being developed. But once tuning for Lexus becomes a little more developed I would say definitely get it tuned because it will give you the best gains besides a super charging your car. Do you have any idea what intake or exhaust you want to get?

No idea yet. Havent read on that yet. Just been reading about lips and taillights, and also adjusting the headlights. It seems from the factory they come aimed low so I want to bring them up a bit

Thanks. Here's one shot of the interior (needs a vacuum. lol) and the other after a wash tonight. Always done by hand and with my own cleaning supplies

Welcome to CL and the IS community!

IMHO one of your first mods performance wise should be springs or coil overs and a rear sway bar. You can pick up a front sway later down the road.

Plenty of great exhausts out there. Just do a search.

Good luck with the mods!
