why not? it's just the same exhaust as the pre-face lift Lexus IS exhaust.

Meh. Looks a little too busy back there. I've seen better looking rears. Kind of looks like a bra for the *ss.

As for the wheels, "They are forged. 26.5 lbs each." The stock wheels weigh ~28 lbs. each.

I'm into clean and professional high-end fully premium OE wheels. So that's why I like those. There's just something extremely desireable about having your wheels backed by the manufacture name. You can trust it's designed (particularly looks wise) to go with the car from the ground up rather than some universal wheel slapped onto any japanese-make car. Some aftermarket wheels are nice but to me, aftermarket wheels often give the appearance of r1ce, kids, fast and furious, etc. Just something that screams "cheap" in my opinion. That's why I think there's a large appeal for factory backed wheels.

for the price of those rims, 26.5lbs seems very heavy
