Lip kit

Welcome to CL and the mod bug hurts everyone.

 

congrats on the ride. MRM is a gorgeous color choice! id drop it, add an f-sport sway bar, maybe clear bra the front (there's plenty of construction going on around the freeways), and redouts, as it would look better on a red car. you can probably get the sport pedals at lexus of westminister or order online from sewell lexus. i got some family around the ontario area, so maybe i'll see you around.

 

Enjoy the car, should be fun.

 

Agreed, even if the gas pedal now looks a bit funny (but it still drives the same).

 

drops should be somewhere in this list

 

nice! matador red was my 2nd color choice. congrats

 

Just dont get carried away and ruin the car. Young guys like yourself have a tendancy to do that. Its not a honda or Acura. Keep it clean and classy

 

Don't worry, nothing real RICEY will be done.

1st Modification done!

I just finished hacking the navigation / DVD player, works perfectly

Now come the interior / puddle lights I need to order along with the sport pedals

 

And what's all this talk about a lip kit? Don't I have to repaint it and all that? Is that alot of work?

 

Don't forget to change out the blinker fluid to something more high flow.

 

+1 on that above..keep it clean. a cheap mod that i did first that makes a world of difference is swapping out lights. any yellowish halogen looking ones to led's or the hid white look. puddle lights, dome lights, hid kit (if you don't already have them), park lights, etc...

 

Ya Im gunna switch out the lights next.

Hopefully by the time I see you guys at PURSUIT 2

Just got the last slot for the 1/8 drag

 

Congrats! I have MRM Sport with GFX kit and we love it. But regrettably I'm selling it currently.

 

If you want to do drag racing, then you absolutely need to learn how to disable the traction control using the "pedal dance."

Without the pedal dance, 0 to 60 is pretty strong in the IS350 - around mid 5s (5.5 or so).

With the pedal dance (i.e. with traction control disabled), you can easily delve into high 4s with regards to 0 to 60 (4.8+ seconds).

The difference is pretty staggering. It's also easily noticeable from a "butt dyno's" perspective.

 

First thing I did was change out my interior lights for LED, color my emblems, and add some extra LED strips to the bottom of the step light. Total cost was under $75. IMO best bang for your buck. If you're trying to drive fast and stick turnd then coil overs/ sway bar whatever are the way to go. If you want more exterior/interior aesthetics I'd suggest maybe wrapping your roof/wood trip/chrome part of the grill. If you're looking to spend under 300 that's the way to go.
