Default SKRRRRT_3IS Build Thread

What's good everyone, gunna start a build thread for my 2016 Lexus IS300 F Sport, which is currently in Ultra White... key word, currently. Everything has been installed by myself, or with the help of my girlfriend's father. There are a few more bigger things I would love to do but they'll probably have to wait for now. If you like what you see feel free to hit me up - I love talking about builds and/or helping people who are considering some of the mods I have done. If you feel so inclined shoot me a follow on my IG page I started a few months ago @skrrrrt_3is. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

Performance:
RR Racing Tune
Invidia Q300 SS Quad Rolled Tip Axle Back Exhaust - Lexus RC350
Invidia Q300 Mid-Pipe - Lexus IS300/350
AEM 221-759C Cold Air Intake
Exterior / Aesthetic
Engine Bay - Painted all covers (DM for application information)
OEM Wheels - Painted Black
OEM Calipers - Painted RED
Chrome Delete
InteriorOn The Way (Already came in - need to find time to install)ViViD Elephant Grey Vinyl Wrap (Nardo Grey)
RSR Down Springs (Couldn't decide between coilovers or bags so I went the cheaper route to test the waters before making that decision)


Day I took her off the lot. 2016 IS300 F Sport with 29k miles.


First project, Painting the calipers with G2 Caliper Paint, and applied 2 Lexus Vinyls on the front calipers.


Painting the wheels Gloss Black.


This is how she sat for a while while I was paying the car off. Only 2 mods I did where the wheel paint and caliper paint.


Now its time to have some fun. Painted all the engine bay covers candy red with some candy red glitter. Looks a lot better in direct sunlight, love the way it came out.


Carbon fiber roof spoiler.


Next few are some pics from my IG. Last pic shows the quad pipe exhaust I installed.








Lexus RC Axleback with an IS Mid-Pipe. Both Invidia Q300. Diffuser coming soon to finish off the rear end.





Front lip and side skirts installed! Waiting on the weather to warm up so that I can paint them glossy black. Custom CF Steering wheel coming within a week or so

if you don't mind me asking how did you get the RC exhaust to fit your car and can you provide the link to the exhaust thank you.

Not at all bud... The RC Exhaust is a direct fit to the existing exhaust & hangers. No welding needed, direct bolt on. Only thing that is required is cutting the existing fascia to fit the extra pipes. This can be avoided by upgrading to the 2017+ Diffuser which I might consider in the future, but I don't mind how it looks currently with the existing 2016 fascia. Also do not buy the RC mid-pipe... only the axle-back is a direct fit. You will need to pair it with an IS mid-pipe if you want the mid as well.

Invidia Q300 Lexus RC Exhaust

It is not in stock at IIR Racing (where I purchased it) but I'm sure you could just give the sku a quick search and find it somewhere. Hope this helps
