I've noticed that authentic L-tuned is300's get little or no mention on clublexus. Anyone have one or have some pics of some? Anyone have stats on how many were made? Anyone know if they offered sticks or navigation systems on them? I know they were only a 2002 model offering and only made in 3 colors. A stick with nav L-Tuned would be quite a find!! wonder if there is any?

 

I have an 02' is300 L-tuned stage III, its a sweet car. Had some problems though, right now on the 3rd transmission. Everything else is fine.

 

Stage 3? There were only 2 stages?

 

Here's an old Motor Trend article on the L-Tuned Package IS Stage II fully loaded with NAV and 5 Speed Manual at Fontana, CA - California Speedway.

As far as the L-Tuned Package was concerned. It is not a factory installed package. They are a Port Installed Option package put on some new 2002 IS300 models that came through the Port of Long Beach. They only came in Millenium Silver Metallic, Black Onyx and Graphite Gray Pearl. If you saw any other colored L-Tuned package vehicle, it was either a Dealer Installed accessory or an accessory added by the buyer later on. This was only available for 2002. The L-Tuned Packaged cars either came w/Auto, Auto w/NAV, Manual and Manual w/Nav.

Series I - Body Kit w/Fogs, Exhaust, Sport Grille, L-Tuned Badging and Floormats.
Series II - All the Series I options plus, L-Tuned Springs 1" drop(made by Eibach), Front & Rear Sways, and 18" L-Tuned Wheel/Tires (made by Rays Engineering aka SS7 Campionato) in either Silver or Graphite w/Michelin Pilot Sport 225/40ZR18 tires.

 

Yea i bought mine off the showroom floor in Marin, It said stage 3 on the sticker, who knows its been 5yrs, but i've done so many mods basically its a different car.

 

Maybe the stage 3 included the rare one-off TRD turbo

 

Anybody got pics of the l-tuned is300 in another color.

 

Ltuned parts are hard to find and very expensive if you can get your hands on one.

im pretty sure if you use the search engine, your sure to find pictures on here if not try is300.net
