I purchased a AWD IS 350 a couple months back, but it is not an F. The prior owner did throw some F-Sport rims on it though. I have a few things I am wanting to address and then work to make it look a bit more aggressive.
1st move was getting the tint in the photos, and I'm considering some darker rims.

1. The brake pads on it are still in good shape. However, they squeak on those initial brakes on the colder mornings. I was told it is a common issue and to look into some composite break pads.
2. I backed into a curb slightly and it scraped my exhaust tips. I would like to replace them with some tips that look a bit less basic. Any advice on where to look and what to expect price-wise?

 

Hello and welcome! Yes, you have a non-F or "base", depending on what other packages it may have come with. You do have the rarest of all the colours, so it will be interesting to see what you end up doing. "More aggressive" is of course subjective, but I've been really happy with the wrapping of my roof and the door chrome. Wheel spacers also gave it a more aggressive stance, but if you get new rims you may not need them. Also, if the rims are black then having more black might make the car too dark, at least in my opinion which is part of why I didn't tint the windows.

 

We can do a body kit and performance parts.

Thank you for the advice AtomicAWD! I actually kind of like the rims on it and agree black may make it too dark. They are F-Sport rims. I’m thinking about some chrome accents on it. Possibly something different for the license plate. I recently saw a Lexus plate on a mount that comes out of the tow “square?” on the front. My state requires a front plate unfortunately.

 

Josh, what body kit(s) do you have for the base model?

 

Lexon body kit, NIA Auto Design are good ones.

Congrats on your IS!!! I am sure you will have years of enjoyment - I miss mine and in retrospect, I should have kept mine but no need to cry over spilled milk right (lol)

It is my 1st time seeing pics of an IS on here with the accessory F sport wheels....They are not the factory OEM F Sport wheels which is a 5 split spoke wheel...

 

AWD FTW...i got the F Sport one though but AWD is AWD

love the Graffiti art in the background picture...they always make the Ride look even better
