Thanks for the comments, make me wanna do more mods 
I know it's addictive, but i have to controll myself. Lite mods i'll do but that can wait. hehe
Slight improvement on fuel consumption and it holds the gear longer but when i change to 19" wheel i'm back to square one.
The model for IS250, 300 and 350 should be the same (33-2345)
check the model here http://www.knfilter.com
At first i wanted to get the K&N typhoon short arm but since Lexus brought in a different engine (3GR-FE) for the Chinese's market most of the aftermarket intakes won't fit or is there??
All 4 pieces fits like a glove and the TOM'S dealer installed it just under 2 hours. I mentioned your fitting problem to them, they say the kit tents to get deformed below freezing point or during high temperature when not installed.
sure, just PM me..
I'm still waiting for the AP Racing 4 pot BBK for the rear and maybe TOM'S coilover designed for China's road. after these i'll stop for a while to recover the big hole in my pocket...
The brake pedal feels lots stiffer and there is more bite during normal city driving. As for high speed improvement, i dint really know how much was improved cos i didn't do a before and after test.
The AP Ring kit comes with the 6 pot Caliper (CP7040), Slotted rotor 362mm x 32mm, brackets, brake lines and ferodo brake pads (DS2500).
Dont forget to do lite mods, the car has to look just as good at nite as it does in the day

Oh, launching from stop definitely better, slightly better acceleration and better throttle response. HP increase?? nah hardly feel it.. That's all i got from the air filter, i think its not worth getting them and just stick to the OEM air filter and avoid the hassle of cleaning and re-oiling.
The TOM'S exhaust has low deep sound, its slightly louder then stock and it's still comfortable during long trips.
Some mentioned that exhaust installed on IS300 tents to have lower deeper sound.
Here how it sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vaC5yfOnfk

4. Bodykit
I was searching for the look i want. The thread that Rashood made "links to bodykit" helped me allot on my decision. Thanks Rashoodz..
But the definite thread that made me decide on TOM'S kit was when i saw Knihc2008 car with the Incredible TOM'S kit. Thanks Knihc2008..
