one of the best detailed builds for the 3is. wish i had the ***** and time to do some of the stuff you did
do you have to replace brake lines or refill the fluid for the isf caliper change? i've never actually changed calipers and that's one thing i don't wanna mess up is the brake system.
the brake install is still a pending job.
I just only recently picked them up, still need to have them repainted and gather pads and rotors before they get installed
Brake lines can be reused and fluid needs to be bleeded after
Its been a while since i've updated this thread.
I have still been tinkering and building the car but just at a oddly slower rate.
I had listed the car for sale a couple of months back but no takers so far.
In the background I still had the urge to touch the car even if it may leave my hands soon.
At any rate, let the mods continue
Another work in progress mod,
2017+ Navigation Joystick control. I picked it up because I like the palm rest design more than the older. It is plug and play and the only button that does not do anything is the Back button. All the other buttons function as intended. The Center console there is a small portion of it that will have to be filed down in order for this newer one to snap into place. I'll show it at a later date when i have a chance.
Would you mind telling me where you were able to actually source one of these from? The best I've been able to do is price separate new parts a la carte from Lexus lol! Thank you for any help you can give me!

Constant eBay searching. Took me a while to land on this setup since the car is still somewhat new
Wondering if you can share the source of your switches and details on them (Size of any info you can share) I have been on the hunt for simple switches that fit our blanks. Thanks in Advance.

Just wanted to congratulate you on an awesome thread, and car build! It’s a credit to you!!!! I’m new to the IS world having recently bought a 2015 IS300H base model. I love to modify my cars and until see your thread was a bit stumped as to where to look for parts and to see what might work.
That problem is now solved thanks to your highly detailed build thread with part numbers etc. Keep up the awesome work dude, have also subscribed to your YouTube channel. I fear there shall be many late nights of binge watching YouTube. Started reading your thread yesterday and just finished. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks to all those that followed and read my long build thread over the years. It was a fun ride and met alot of good people along the way
Late last year, I parted out the car back to stock and move on from it, closing this chapter. I am doing a lightweight build on a my new daily, Lexus NX300 as a stop gap.
Here's a walk-around video of my IS350 before I tore it back down to near bone stock.
