Default TJR14IS350 build thread

Hello everyone in glad to be apart of the Lexus family. I want to share my build and the progress of my obsidian black 14 AWD IS350 F Sport. So enjoy 😊

Exterior:
30% tint
Blcked out all the chrome
ijdmtoy yellow fogs
De-badged trunk
NIA Auto Design eyelids
Carbon fiber front lip
Carbon fiber trunk lip spoiler
Carbon fiber roof spoiler
Carbon fiber mirror caps
Led reverse lights
Led turn signals
Opti coat
Brake caliper decals
Stillen diffuser
Aeroflow dynamics side skirt splitters
OEM vent visors

Engine:
Hps intake tube
Cut a hole in stock air box for more noise
K&N filter
Stillen axle back
Apexi midpipes

Wheels/suspension
Lowered on rsr down springs
20mm spacers.

So I traded a heavily modded 2010 wrx for the lex. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss that car. My old car before I traded it in.




So on to the IS. When I brought it home from the dealer.


And now this is where the good stuff comes in. I can't leave any cars stock☺️ Ok so opti coat done, tint done, de-badged trunk, and chrome wrapped.




Also installed my front lip, rear trunk lip, and Stillen axle back.



Heres a sound be clip of the Stillen axle back for anyone that wants to know what it sounds like.

Just installed my Lexus brake caliper decals.



I'll try to keep my build up to date as much as possible.

Thanks. I may do midpipes as well. Just trying to make the car feel like my own. 🙂

It was an eBay trunk lip spoiler. I forget the link.

How do you like the fogs? I know the light pattern isn't great on this kit, but with the yellow do you still think these are blinding oncoming cars?

Thanks. That's how I felt until I got bored one day. I do have a small Lexus logo on the rears too. Hard to see. I'll get a better pic when I put the spacers on.

The fogs are ok. Light pattern stinks. They do blind other drivers. But I don't care. I did it for the look. Lexus and yellow fogs are meant to be 😊

I'm in the market for wheels but I don't know what I want. So if any of you guy/girls have any suggestions I'm all ears.

I would first look at what's important for the need to change wheels... do you want something light and strong to increase efficiency and performance, or looks are all that matters. once you decide, than look at wheels available in that category. Since cast wheels that just looks good vs forged wheels that are light can be a big difference in price.

Look in the wheels thread to see pictures of what others have on their car for ideas. Wheels are a personal taste thing just like food. What looks good to someone may not look good in your eyes.
