Talking My Nebula Gray Pearl IS build

Its been 2 months since I picked up my 2015 IS 250 F-Sport and just wanted to share with you guys what mods I've done to it so far.
1) Custom Axle Back Exhaust made by 168 Motoring and Invidia mid pipe.
2) RS-R Down Springs
3) iJDM toy L.E.D lighting
4) TRD Carbon fiber spoiler
5) GrimmSpeed License plate relocation kit
6) Plasti-Dipped front grill (chrome part) red and the rear badges. De-badged the IS 250 emblem.
7) 3M Color Stable Window Tint 25% rear and 35% front.
8) Universal EZ-Lip Kit. (Took like 20 seconds for install)
9) Injen Short Ram Intake
10) 3M Carbon Fiber Roof Vinyl
11) Avant Garde M580's in Gold w/ Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires 235/35/19 265/30/19 with 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +43
(Just ordered a set of work wheels, pg 3 for more details and also selling my current gold AG M580's)
12) Custom red painted brake calipers
(Possible) Future Mods :
1) AccuAir Air Suspension
2) Custom Wide Body Kit
3) Straight Piped Exhaust
4) rcF / gsF seats in red (Thats only if I can find one thats totaled at the junk yard)

Thanks dude. Exhaust so far has been alright. It wasn't quite the sound i was looking for. I wish it was a bit louder but honestly all my friends think the loudness is obnoxious. Personal taste I guess. At idle, its just like stock. 2.5k-4.5k rpm is when it really opens up with the noise. Down low, sound is nice and deep but up high, it loses it. Im probably going to get a custom exhaust made from my local shop pretty soon. Invidia for my taste just isn't loud enough. Just let me know if you'd like a sound clip. Ill post one of a standstill rev and maybe a couple fly-by's on YouTube. And there isn't any drone from what I've been experiencing on the highway. Hope this helped you out man. But overall, my final opinion is that, yes it is worth it, but not for the price. I paid $1,100 for the full catback. (They sell axle back and mid-pipe separately) Maybe if it was like $800 - $900 then id say yes on buying. If you're looking for a modest, a bit louder than stock exhaust system, then this is the right one for you.

The ez lip is for sure the cheapest way to make your car look bad ***. Great bang for your buck. Looks good!

I am currently looking at the Q300 as well but JUST the axleback. DO you have any idea how just the axleback will sound compared to stock.

Does it also provide protection and prevent scratches to the bottom of the front bumper?

well it does provide some protection but it is very minimal. Its mostly for looks.
