There are a couple of cold air intakes out there, but that's about it.

Give it a little more time. The IS has now been out on the market for about eight months. We'll see a lot more mods available in the near future.

yeah the IS hasnt even been out a year and the market on this car is still to flourish. A few intakes are available, like the LMS, Joe Z, and maybe a few others, but more are to come in the next 4-6 months for sure.

I noticed that. I'm at work now so when I get home I'll look as I still have the box. I know it just came out as the guy I got it from is a dealer and works with TTE.
I live in Canada and this is where I got it.

its not listed on the HKS website yet... that why he is providing us with the part number. you'd have to order it according to the part number from an HKS vendor.
