Not at all. I've got a friend who is currently leasing a 2010 IS250. Since they have a 10 month old, they thought about getting rid of it for an SUV of some kind. Should they decide to make that move, I'd be offered the 250 at the lease payoff price which is just over 22k. With 25k on the clock, I figured it was a pretty decent deal. This would be my first car that I would begin modding as I've only modded 4x4's. Had a heavily modded Toyota FJ Cruiser which I totaled while wheeling and am currently in the process of modding my 80 series Land Cruiser. I'm looking forward to messing with a car versus a truck. Just have to make sure I don't lift the IS out of habit.

I'm not sure. I want to do a major change in the front. But i'm not sure what. I was thinking about taking on the GS F-Sport Front. But I want the ISF fenders. So I thought about a true isf conversion?? But I can't decide so idk.

Any I haven't filled them in. Their still there, but since my car is dark, you can't see it until your 2-3 feet away. Even then you kind of have to be looking for it.

Or should I wait and see if I could do the 2014 IS bumper and find a way to make that work.... Hmmmmm I should do a poll haha.
I think if you did the real ISF front with the Wald front lip it would be very aggressive.

I thought about it. Do you think it would look better without them?

I like the vinyls, I had them myself but then I realized I have nothing else yellow on the car. I was very happy with the results after I removed them. Maybe you should try it out, worst case you buy a new set for $8.
