Default WTB Modded IS250/350?

Would anyone be interested in buying their new IS already modded from the dealer? What would you you want on it? The car already looks sporty, just want to see what everyone would want to see on it. Be serious because this may become a reality.

no i wouldn't. i would prefer to mod the car myself. almost all the time dealers won't put in stuff half as aggressive as i want, and seriously a lot of times the stuff they put on aren't the best neither

so i would just purchase a car fully loaded and then change out stuff myself to my exact likings

What if the pieces you want could be installed?

The only reason i would consider this is for the warranty. Like BMW/Dinan.

meaning if i can "configure" my car to like how my gs400 and sc430 look now?

it would be a better incentive, but the second criteria of price will come in of course. if the dealership or whatever can actually carry that many different brands and able to obtain good prices on all of them, maybe that would help
