Looks very nice. Do you install different brand of intake and muffler ? and how is the perfomance and sounds like. You haven't mod. the kits yet, right ? I am thinking to do the kits first, then exhaust system on my new IS250 just bought 3 weeks ago. Can you provide me the information for your installer shop and price, thanks

yeah. intake a exhaust don't have to be the same brand.
i installed the intake and HIDs.
the extra power isn't very noticeable but the sound is really nice. t
he intake makes a nice sound at 3.5rmp and the exhaust makes a nice sound whenever u gas a little.

if you have a 09 2IS the GFX ground kit won't be cheap.
personally i don't really like the ground kits.

i got my exhaust done at jsn350's shop.
PM him and he'll give you a special price on whatever you need.
He's a real nice guy. ^^

It seems to be a busy first month for you and your new IS. Great looking mods so far. If you can get them at a decent price, the OEM G-Spiders would compliment your car very nicely.
