Default Trim the Fat!

I really think that the most performance increase we can do without spending a lot or any money is loose the weight. Anyone ran their IS without interior/or CF replacement panels?

Please list what you've done and outcome at the track or street.

If you are going to go through all this to get performance you are going to take away comfort which will make the car not a Lexus since it won't be luxurious. IS without interior, god just buy a sports car built to already be light weight and fast as a bastard.

Why... would you buy a luxory car and remove the interior to run it?

Just curious of your thinking because even if you do break into low low 12s you couldn't do that on the streets... Ride around in a stripped out Lexus? I dunno!


However, RoRo has removed and changed some of his interior so it has been done! But I think the IS is his track car and not his DD.

Just wait and get the ISF and save yourself the cost of all that.
