Default Waleed's 15' USB IS350 F-Sport

Hello everyone!
So I've finally decided to make a build thread for my car.
This is my 2015 USB IS350 F-Sport. Hope you all like it.

Before adding more power, decided to upgrade my tires first. My car came with Dunlop Sport maxxx 050's. Good tires when new but after 10k Kms they lose grip and car was sliding everywhere.

Decided to go with Michelin Pilot Sport 4.


The car feels completely different now. I feel a lot more confident while taking a corner now. The limit on these tires is so high as compared to my stock tires.

Got a new lower grille as the stock grille came with pre drilled holes for the number plate bracket. Looks a lot cleaner now.

I think the orange calipers go nicely with the black rims and USB body color. Good job!

Did you get the calipers painted professionally? If so, how much was the job?

Thanks a lot, guys! Appreciate it.
Next on the list in Takeda Intake & a tune hopefully. Just trying to extract a bit more power out of the engine.
