Default Any ideas guys?

So im still new to the lexus scene and since purchasing my 06 Tungsten Pearl IS350 a month ago, ive been trying to see what other people on the forum are doing to their IS's to make em stand out from the crowd.

I find it weird in a way to always see a ton of cars that look exactly like mine (same color, same tint, same wheels etc...) to find out ot was an is250. Or even another is350 (unlikely) .

So my question to all of you great people here is. How can i make my car stand out from the rest of all these Tungsten Pearl IS's?

I was thinking wheels at first but its not in my budget.... yet.

Or maybe blacking out the badges or painting the calipers??

Any advice or things you can add to this list is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for your time

Keep it stock and super shiney! Best way to stand out is to see how new and clean it is.

Do you want to visually or audibly stand out first? That will get us a good starting point.

Get an aimgain kit. That will make you stand out! Maybe not in the budget though.

Lower it definitely make you stand out from the stock ones. Then wheels.

Rear diffuser, front lip, sides... will differentiate it even more.

Visually...got it. Now, what is your budget? When I first got my '06 IS350 I had very little extra funds to do anything much. So for around $100 I tinted the orange portion of the rear tail lamps red, tinted the fog lamp covers yellow, and added HIDs in the fog housings. From there I started piecing together a GFX kit, BCR coilovers, rear upper window "spoiler", "F-sport" from grille with hybrid emblem, and LED puddle lamps. Next on my list is new OEM windshield trim, fix the peeling window trim, and get my Genesis Tracks wheels some tires.
