Thousand Oaks is a great area, I went to elementary school there back in the day at Park Oaks. Lol

Prius is a nice car. The IS is a great car!

Any plans for the IS? Great job on the cf wrap on the key fob btw.
Thanks initial G,

Not too much planned for the IS350, believe it or not the IS350 is my 18th car! I'm probably keeping it mostly stock after years of owning modified cars, especially in California. Maybe suspension and some nice wheels to set it off down the line. I'm a big car nut at heart and love modding but married life and kids have really changed my priorities around. Some notable rides I had before were an MR2 Turbo, Celica Turbo All-Trac, Supra Turbo, 300ZX Twin Turbo, 370Z, 335i, WRX STi, a 450whp Turbo Integra GS-R to name a few. I also had a bunch of swapped B series EG's, EK hatches, Preludes, a couple RSX Type S's (hence my user name). I was seriously contemplating an IS-F at one point but I knew my mod bug would kick into overdrive if I bought that beast.

As for the IS350, so far I installed an F-Sport Intake and replaced the the original all-season Turanzas with some Potenza RE760 Sports. The Potenzas are a huge upgrade really, they grip very well and my traction control doesn't light up like a Christmas tree every time I leave a stop.

Coilovers and fsport sways are a must for this car.
Congrats on the purchase & welcome to CL
