I just leased a 2010 IS 250 and would like to add a few mods, but nothing that will break the bank just in case I decide to turn it in at the end of the lease. Any suggestions? My budget is $1K and some ideas are an intake, led lights, CF overlay kit for the interior and maybe a carbon fiber rear spoiler although I'm not sure how well a CF piece would look on a black car.

 

first thing to do is red outs imo =)

 

Redouts, hid's, change out interior/puddle/parking lights for starters

 

^agreed . redouts ! everybody loves playing with stickers !

 

dont forget to add tint on there

 

when applying the vinyl for the red outs do i cover only the amber or the entire cover? i assume that after applied the vinyl can be peeled right off?

 

its only the amber . get em at aerotect

 

if you have navi.. add the navi switch..

My gf's ride is a lease so ive done the following and will be stopping here:
- Navi switch - $5.00
- Aerotech Red outs - I think it was $20.00
- HIDs in fogs - $60.00
- Paint calipers - $8.00

 

+1 on the redouts. Springs, HID upgrades, and a CF overlay also come to mind.

 

Springs or a cheap set of coilovers, intake, front lip, HIDs

 

First should definitely be tint, IMO. Have fun trying to stay away from the mod bug

 

Tint, tail lights, and drop. Then go on from there. Dont go out of order like me. lol

 

whats the navi switch ?
PAINTING CALIPERS ARE ONLY 8 BUCKS ?!!!? REALLY?!?!?!

 

The nav hack allows you to use your touchscreen while the car is in motion. Not sure what paint cost $8 only, but you're looking at $50+/- for a quality caliper paint kit like G2.
