Lack of Aftermarket Parts
Is it just me or are the tuners taking their sweet time getting products out for this car? Where are all the intakes, exhausts, downpipes, pulleys, headers, suspension parts (though this is starting to materalize as of late), brake kits, and forced induction kits (though im not sure this is even possible yet on this car...blitz did have a proto).
COME ON!!
COME ON!!

No, the exhaust is uber restrictive.... unfortunately I havent seen any exhausts put out yet that tickle my fancy
The intake also could be improved upon...
Im sure some remapping of the ecu could yield 5-10hp/tq

the slow ness is exactly that the MF know that people who buy Lexus will not put on crapy parts and this paticular crowd would sue also for bad parts so if they are going to release parts they are going to have to make sure.
A they do what they say.
B. they do not break down or cause issues.
C. they look good.
also some MF might want to watch the trend first see if people are moding the car, in all of these cases it will take a while, the car is brand new. we didn't see a ton of things for the IS300 when it first came out either but after some time things started coming out.
Just wait till fall and next years models they might change soemthing MF will like to know also if anything inportain gits changed. before they release their parts.

Exactly... Do you want quality parts that do what they're suppose to do, or do you wanna settle for sub par items like the intake systems currently out for the IS that are worthless for anythign except making the car louder.
