Remember, the warranty is voided only if the mod directly caused the problem. It's in the law book.

So mod away, save the $80 installation fee and buy us a nice lunch. Or use it for your next mod...

I was the same, I was just happy having a GFM color, with the GFX kit that came from the dealer, I entered this forum because waiting for my car for 3.5 months was like hell to me, and they promised me I'll get it in 2 months, I wanted to complain to Lexus about that, so I entered this forum asking where can I complain.

Now I have wheels, springs, grill (had carsontuned now LXmode), roof spoiler, and some there and there, more to come! And I always thought stock looks best lol.

Save the $$ on installation and put it towards other mods

Half (or most) of the fun is installing the part yourself! But after you're finished, it's like coming down for a high and you start to anticipate your next mod.

Just the sway set, a **** and some mats. No biggie. Was going to do the intake but I really don't have the funds right now. Almost considered the springs/shocks but that was gonna cost some serious green. (Considering that my car money comes from me writing a report once a month at $25 per report)

But it's still kinda cool to me. It's a start.
go to EOS : meet people and raffle....that's how I got my intake 2 years ago

Your car got exhaust your car ain't stock yo. Less than 5 percent of the cars in here got BBK's and you're one of them. Plus you got a set of 19" F-sport rims. You're lucky to have all the goodies from the dealer but please stop saying your car is stock.

You live close to me, and I got a garage let me know when you're ready to do some more mods

GAH!!! Okay okay okay. It's not stock. You guys keep saying that....you all must be right. I guess my interpretation of stock is how you bought it from the dealer. You're killing me here.

((hugs)) You're awesome, thanks!

Appt is verified. I've got an hour and a half to kill.

Should I go test drive the IS-F they have there for sale?

Don't do it Siu... seriously. Drive an ES350 or something, that way you'll appreciate your car more.

After you test drive the IS-F, let us know how does your IS trade in with IS-F turn out.

I got an ES350 for a loaner. It was sooo smooth. I test drove the IS-F, it would get me arrested!
