Default New member saying hello

Just wanted to drop by and introduce myself. I just picked up my 3IS 250 UW/RR F sport yesterday. I live in Tampa Florida and am an avid enthusiast. This is my first Lexus car. My previous cars were a 2003 Nissan Murano, 2009 Nissan 370z and a 2013 Scion FRS. I am very happy to finally have a high end luxury car that was built very solid.

I am usually very active on the forum. To start, I needed some help with a few things.

1. What are some of the top 2 or 3 websites for aftermarket parts (intakes, exhausts, springs, etc). Every car brand/model always has a couple go-to websites that stock specific parts and have been doing so for a while. So far I have tried rally sport direct with no luck as they are usually a go to for myself. Amazon and ebay are really hit and miss.

2. Any recommendations on where to get a decent quality license plate frame. I like the F sport OEM one but not for 60 or 70 bucks.

3. Any recommendations where to pick up hats and shirts and lifestyle products.

Thanks for the help and I look forward to enjoying my new toy and modding her and meeting some new friends.

Welcome ddvette! I'm in the Central Florida area also. I see you had a Scion FR-S. I traded in my 13 FR-S and a 13 Lexus ES to buy my IS350. Best trade ever!

Welcome! Congrats on the purchase! My go-to website is Ebay and the Classifieds section on here. Make sure you select 3rd Gen IS when browsing the classifieds. As for the license plate frame, check your local AutoZone or PepBoys Store. That's where I bought my previous tinted frame and it was solid as rock!
