Today, I took my IS350 to the brand-new Lexus of Orlando dealership that recently opened up next to the theme parks. Holy cow, the building architecture is very modern and the facility is huge. There were plenty of new Lexus F cars on display and I even spotted a beautiful LC500 in the limited edition Structural Blue color. It almost makes me want to trade in my car for something new and shiny.

This is the best looking IS that I have seen before! Do you have a list of mods? I am interested in how the exhaust fits so well into the rear. I have currently have same year and color.

I made them myself, so unfortunately they can't be bought anywhere.

Thanks!! I've only had the car for just over 3-months and bought it bone stock. The only mods I've done so far are: Front and rear bumper lips, throttle controller, carbon wrapped center console, trunk lip spoiler, roof spoiler, Vland tail lights, S2000 muffler tips, AF Dynamic air intake, chrome fog light surrounds and custom LED rear bumper reflectors. So it has been a busy few months but the car is now how I wanted it from the beginning. It's a Japanese RHD IS350 and is the Version S, so already has the stiffer/slightly lower sports suspension (equivalent to the later F-Sport models) and the factory 18" wheels. As tempting as it is to chuck some concave, wide, lower offset wheels on there and slam it to the ground like I've done with all of my previous cars, I'm going to leave this one as it is in that department and solely focus on an OEM+ look.

You're definitely a modest human, too.

Awesome job on the car - definitely one of (if not the) best looking 2IS out there, as echoed above.

Bought my IS350 bone stock 3-months ago so after all of the small additions since then I figured I'd finally take it out for some decent photos.

Got them new from Japan, using Amayama.com. $75.50 each USD + shipping. Part number for the tips is 18310-S2A-A02 (you need two of them), and part number for the bolt to secure it ($1 USD each) is 95701-0601008 (x2). Priced them up locally through a Honda dealership and they wanted twice the price.
