it's been a while since I did this and have done quite a few for people. At least 23 Instagram users I helped doing this. So it's become quite a popular mod since I did it. I don't have detailed write-up yet but planning to post one on my blog soon. In the meantime if you are on Instagram, feel free to message me there and I can share photos and videos I took of the stages which covers most of it

You could have the small adjustments done in 2-hours if you know what to expect.



Hell, leave it here and repost in the 3IS thread. That thing is beautiful. Congrats on the purchase of the IS500 man. Best color in my opinion.


Managed to get my hands on some F-Sport seats for the wife's '06 IS350. I've been on the hunt for these seats for my own 350 for the last 4-years but ended up installing alpine white IS-F seats instead, so when I saw these 2011 IS350 F-Sport seats at a local wrecker I couldn't leave without them. They are the identical design to the IS-F seats but without the F logo on the side and have light grey stitching instead of blue.

I also grabbed the F-Sport perforated steering wheel, and swapped over her stitched airbag cover + carbon button trims. Ended up using a blue fabric pen to color in the light grey stitching to match the rest of the dash theme. Considered doing the seat stitching too, but have left it for now as it matches the stitching on the door trims











Looking good. My 2013 F-Sport seats really hold you well in corners and look pretty good too. The soft centers not scorching you in the sun or freezing you in the winter are a nice feature too.

Keep up the great work!

What pen are you using to seem touch up? I'd like some info please!

very clean. I have those same 3is rims on my 2is. How were you able to get that fitment so flush? Spacers?

Thanks. That's a pretty old photo, but I was running 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the rear. I now have 20mm all round.

Wow those 4is bumpers look slick. Where would I be able to find them?
