Default Back and on Mods

I'm Back

I've been busy with work and college for last year.
anyway, I'm ready to flip my car with mods.

I'm thinking of getting all IS-f mods. but my concern is are they going to fit in??
cause here in UAE we got different engine in IS
and if anyone know someone in Dubai will install the mods for me

Welcome back sis, it will fit, but it may cause lots and lots of money, you need to buy the grill, all bumpers, hood, fenders ... etc

I suggest you to get normal kits.

oh you are talking about F-Sport. there is a big difference between F-Sport and IS-F.

I think all F-sport parts fits except for the intake and engine cover. There is no such thing is 18 inch F-sport wheels, they only offer 19.

Fix what, you mean installing the parts? there are millions of garages around dubai, mostly close to the dealership, or Qusais Industry, the best? I don't know. There is no F-sport grill, I was just confused.

Allah y3eench, shaklch ma t7af'6een 3ala sayartch :P

i say if ur gonna get all those mods get the TOMS ones (chassis braces, advox coils and exhaust set up) and those are available locally and can be installed by the dealer for TOMS. you even get warranty and if u want, insurance on the parts. I doubt that TOMS will be more expensive than if u buy and ship all the Fsport parts. Plus TOMS > F sport anyday

umm... TOMS runs toyota/lexus race cars, no other tuner comes close to their level of expertise for toyota or lexus vehicles. Why shouldnt i recommend it?

Plus its available locally, under warranty and insurance. F sport isnt.

I can't believe you edited your post.

so paying $4420 + $220 just for coils is a good idea for her?

Fpsort are the cheapest, but they are not adjustable and not worth the money. Either go with springs only, or if u want coils, get something good.

advox coils are actually $2700 . a bit more expensive compared to Zeal and function X and KW variant 3s, (which are the best in my opinion but a rough ride) but will work out to be the same f u consider the othes shippin chearges. And they are the most comfortable and ride is similar to the stock suspension.

Its up to her if its worth it or not.
