Hey guys! I have a 2008 IS350 and was hoping to find some opinions/suggestions about my current set up and what I should do next. I'm keeping all mods limited to aesthetic/exterior until my budget allows for more serious upgrades (suspension/performance). Right now I've got painted stock 18" rims, painted stock calipers, a carbon fiber front lip, 35% window tint all around and plasti dipped rear emblems. Thanks!

 

Rear of my car

 

Side splitter, rear diffuser, window visor, rear window visor/spoiler? LOL
Trunk spoiler

 

Do you want to go all CF? If so then get the hood and trunk CF. If not then dump that front lip and get a whole kit. Too me a kit should be one color, but thats just me. Youre on a budget so scratch that.
Ok lightly tint your tails. Get a CF rear window spoiler. LED interior lights.

 

Where in SC are you located?

 

Campobello. Near Spartanburg/Greenville area.

 

Nice! I was in the Greenville area for 4 years in the late 90s. Love the Upstate! I say roof spoiler, window visors, red outs for the tail lights and a GFX kit for the rear. All pretty budget friendly mods.

 

That beast is good looking man! I own a 07 350 here's a pic:






I installed those led running lights behind the lower grille, I like the look! some people may not.


this is DRL mode without headlights on

 

Not loving the lights but all good if you are happy with em. Like the GFX front lip, considering adding rear and sides? Tint looks really good as well. Wish I could run Florida tint in NC.... What wheels are you running? Look a little like the LFA wheels, but not quite the same.......

 

Thanks man, I haven't really liked any of the rear lips that are out. I'm trying to keep it as stock and stylish as I can. the wheels are drag, they were a flat gunmetal but I painted them gloss graphite a couple weeks back. The center caps used to have the drag logo, but I sanded them off and put chrome Lexus logos then cleared over them.

 

Thanks! Yours is looking good too! Did you change out your parking lights to leds? And I was looking into switching out the yellowish high beam/drl to an led light but didn't want to loose high beam functionality.

 

If you're ever in the Greenville area, hit me up! Weekends are best!

 

I added the Phillips LED bulbs for my DRLs a couple of months ago and love them.
