Default Crafted | 3is

Hey CL, picked up my 2015 IS250 Crafted Line edition March of last year. Let me know what you think!

Package details:
25th Anniversary
1,375 units produced
Ultra White exterior
Black F Sport wheels
Obsidian grille, side mirrors, and door handles
Black/Scarlet interior
Blind Spot Monitor w/ rear cross traffic alert
Navigation
Special edition Key glove
TUMI x Lexus luggage set

Current upgrades:
20% 3M Color Stable tint
Gloss black trunk lip
AP2 exhaust tips
Interior/puddle/trunk/reverse LEDs
Akebono front brake pads
BC Coilovers
Ichiba V2 wheel spacers

Future plans:
Aftermarket wheels (18's)

Maybe:
Front lip
Roof spoiler
Rear diffuser
Exhaust system





I'm going to hold off on getting an exhaust system since my last car was pretty loud. The quiet ride is a nice change from what I was used to. But I didn't like how the stock exhaust finishers looked so I picked up a set of AP2 exhaust tips. A common mod for the 2is guys. I personally haven't seen anybody do it for their 3is. They do stick out a little farther but overall pretty happy on how they turned out.

AP2 on the left vs stock on the right

Thanks man! The interior is one of my favorite things about this car. I actually wouldn't mind if the seatbelts were red haha. Those steering wheels are nice. If I can find a good deal on them maybe ill pull the trigger.

I'm having a hard time deciding which wheels to get. So for right now I went ahead and added Ichiba V2 spacers.

25mm front
20mm rear

Nice and flush.

Did you get the regular package or the premium for the LEDs? Also goes the quality look good?

No discomfort or anything like that. I went with 12k front and 10k rear for the spring rates. The ride is obviously stiffer than stock but it's not harsh imo. I haven't driven other 3is with different suspension setups to compare them to. But overall, I'm happy with them.

I went with their regular package. They aren't super bright but that what I wanted. The 6000k color temp is perfect imo.
