Default Xmas Came Early

Hey everyone, summer of 2012 I got a IS250 F-Sport, was stuck in the notion that since it was a lease, I wouldn't touch the car, and actually went 3+ years w/o doing any modding, this past Thursday I was fortunate enough to upgrade to a brand new 2016 IS350 F-Sport, so far I looooove the power upgrade and this one i"ll actually mod a bit, thinking a nice subtle drop, rims, intake and Exhaust, here's a pic of my old IS250 and the new one still stock...

Congrats!

The 2IS F Sport was no slouch in the handling department unlike the regular 2IS... Curious on your comparison of ride and handling to your new ride!

You're right, even though I didn't drive it like a mad man, my 2IS F Sport did have good handling, honestly I loved everything about the car except for the power it was lacking, thus my upgrade to a 350 over a 200t, the 350 is much faster, and handling feels about the same, I've stayed out of Sport+ mode for the most part, even though it's a Lease, I wanna baby the engine till I get up to 600-1,000 miles.

Default Freshly Lowered and Exhaust Installed






Freshly lowered+spacers installs. I went with RS-R Super Down for the Lowering Springs 25mm/20mm for the spacers, exhaust is custom, basically cut off the mufflers, welded 2 Titatinum Burnt Tips, to me exhaust note is perfect, not annoyingly loud, nice deep growl and no droning. Will attempt to get better pics once she's detailed this week if Miami weather cooperates.
