yea i seen the pics you posted with the tint, it looks great but ive always been a fishbowler. lol

at the moment, my current mod plans are to get the gfx sides and rear, and then maybe drop the car. im not sure if ill break my bank and do coilovers or if i'll get Road Magnent springs again..i sold the set i had in my 2010 to my bredrin. i also alrdy installed jdm Piaa yellow bulbs in the fogs, i had them laying around from one of my other cars, but im debating weather i should put 3000k yellow hid fogs.

ahh yeah. dropping the car would be nice but it handles alot better than a stock IS already (as I had an 06) about a year ago. didn't our cars come with some sort of springs/shocks combo?

so they say, i read up more about the f-sport pckge on the Lexus website and it claims to have a sport suspension, i do think it handles better than my 2010 when it was on the stock springs, today i also was parked next to my moms 2010 is250 and i could see that my car appeared to be about 1" lower than hers.

Should have! I would have gave you some money towards your down payment! Lol, next time.

BTW - The rims were sold by my boy . I'll let you know if he comes across another set.

yes, but the F-Sport package doesn't come with the F-Sport suspension parts. It's suspected (there were discussions on this, but no confirmation) that the suspension on the F-Sport package is the 06-10 sport package suspension, which lowered the front 0.4" but same rear height as stock.
