Definitely give Jerry a call and see what he can do for you. I got 4 yr/40000 more miles on my 08 for 1760, just purchased it yesterday

I pulled the trigger on the 08 USB ISF, see my previous thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...r-on-here.html. The car came with new front rotors, new front brake pads, new rear brake pads, all tires are fairly new, fresh oil change and new wiper blades. I also purchased extended bumper-to-bumper warranty for another 3yr/36k miles (it currently sits at 62,300 miles and I'd figure I could use it if the Navigation blows or something), the tire and wheel protection package and added LoJack for piece of mind.

I paid a little more than I wanted for it but got a great deal on my trade-in so i'm happy. I LOVE my USB ISF!!
It's completely stock right now and I can't wait to start modding it so I can open up the engine's roar a little
I sold my 07 GSXR-750 last weekend so I can put a down payment on the car. Since most of my funds have depleted, smaller mods will come sooner and more expensive mods will have to come later. Slowly but surely, these are the intended mods below

Future Mods:
  • Joe Z Intake or iCode Intake
  • Joe Z Exhaust or ISS Forged DES Catback (Don't want it too loud)
  • PPE Headers, possibly *
  • RMI Scoops, possibly
  • Tom's front lip
  • Tom's rear diffuser
  • Roof spoiler - color matched
  • Lowering springs for the front, Swift or Tein, not sure yet
  • Sikky or F-Sport Rear Sway bars *
  • HID 3k yellow fogs (I have previous 3k HID kit fogs from my IS350, are they compatible?) - H11 Putco "Jet Yellow" bulbs *
  • interior LED's all around (I have most of them from my IS350)
I'm sure i'll be adding to this list as time goes on...slowly but surely

Thanks everyone for all the help, I really appreciate it! Big thanks to Matt (STGSC400) as well.
I really wanted to pick up an ISF and the USB is just awesome! So excited to drive it LOL

Thanks!!

Courtesy light lens are from Sewell, I had them on my previous is250 and is350. I took them out when I traded the cars in LOL: http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2008/1916.html

The Leds for the courtesy lights are from V-LED's: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...68086-1-3.html

I followed this thread for all my LED's: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...de-w-pics.html

Looks great, how are you liking the muffler delete mod? I'm thinking of doing this and deleting the 2nd cat as well, like a few other members.

Thanks, I'm liking it a lot too

The muffler delete is significantly louder than stock. On cold start up and under 2k rpm, it can be a bit loud especially with the windows down but it tapers off and gets pretty quite once you're cruising. Cost was $109 after tax. For that amount, you gain an aggressive exhaust roar and a tiny bit of hp. I'm really liking it a lot. I'm guessing the resonator delete will make it much louder than I want so I held off. The shop wouldn't touch the cats due to legal reasons...
