Default New to my IS 250 any recommendations?

I just purchased a 2011 IS 250 AWD for what I thought was an amazing price that I couldn't pass on. Is it worth it to do the LED headlight swap or adding the Nav? I'm not sure if it's worth it... Any other ideas to customize my Lexus would be welcome. It's difficult because I'm coming from a 2002 Camaro Z28 and there were so many after market options. From the sites that I'm used to it doesn't seem like there is much available?\

Thank you! Hope to get to know some of you. BTW I'm from the NYC area!

Worth it is very subjective. Only u can decide that. I love having the NAV screen but to me it would not be worth all the $$$ to add it. If u have HIDs I wouldn't bother upgrading to LEDs either but again that's me. U can easily upgrade ur interior lights to LEDs which make a big difference if they are not LED already. I just replaced the courtesy door lights with ijdm white leds which are also nice. Also fsport or Joe z intake, exhaust etc. Sky is the limit.

Haha definitely not buying a 350. I still have my z28 for horsepower. I just bought the interior LEDs from amazon and also ordered the door lights with the Lexus logo. I will definitely look through this forum for ideas. I've seen a few that I like, but no links as to where they came from, but I'll continue looking around.

I thought the 2011 models already came with the LED headlights.

I'm new to Lexus as well coming from a GMC Sierra and Honda Civic.
I love my 2011 IS250 and am also looking to mod it.
Here's a link that might help:
http://is.sewellparts.com/parts-catalog/IS250-2011.html

Also go to the Vendor Directory on this forum and you'll find TONS of stuff to consider.
My name is Ed. Let me know how the LED installs go!
