Snailedit build (wifes car)
Figured I might as well start a thread on my Wifes IS200T. Bought the car bone stock last year and finally started doing a few visual mods. Overall Goal is just a nice clean sportier look. First thing we had done was have the roof painted gloss black. Made a huge difference and love it.

Next I went ahead and got RSR half downs, 20mm and 25mm spacers, I really like this drop because the ride still feels the same. I personally wanted to go with RSR Downs but this is my wifes ride so wanted it to be easy for her to drive and not have to worry about rubbing or scraping in parking lots. This was at my buddies house just after we got done with the install, car has settled more since this picture. The drop was a huge difference in how the car looks but the spacers really pulled it all together.

Next, felt like the calipers needed paint, picked up some G2 caliper paint and F Sport decals. Probably my favorite visual mod so far!

Another close up of the caliper but also got "All Fit" front and side shirts. Since this picture I used screws and tabs to tighten the front spoiler to make it fit better.

Yeah looking as we speak, trunk deck and back window spoiler. I would like to do quad tip exhaust without actual exhaust, I know I know that doesn't make sense but I like the car quite like it is plus i am not a fan of 4 cyc cars with exhaust. If it was the 350 (v6) i'd be game.

Nice! You went a very similar route as me on my new 350 F-Sport; tint, calipers, half-downs and spacers. I also did the window and trunk spoilers. I’m not a huge fan of the stock spoiler (too big in my opinion) but I found one that I really like. I did mine in black. Here are a couple of pictures if it helps.

TGIF, your car looks great dude! I like both spoilers you went with! Link to where you got them? I am on the fence on the deck spoiler paint being white or black. I am leaning towards white. The window spoiler will be black just to match the roof.

Nice job on being subtle. however i'd remove the ground effect kit--just me. you can see the gaps/crookedness/uneveness. removes from the clean/perfectionist points you gained from the nicely painted roof, proper subtle drop, spacer job.
I do love the caliper job. I may do mine in orange to replicate the F calipers
