Guys,

Back in January, I picked up a super clean IS350 with just 38,400 miles. I had a hard time believing that the IS350 was driven an average of just 3,840 miles each year over 10 years! The CARFAX and Lexus Drivers site confirmed the mileage and solid maintenance history. The car was super loaded ($46,892 MSRP) and looked NEW. I struck a quick deal and I've been enjoying the car for 6 months now.

2007 IS350
* Black Sapphire Pearl/Black Perforated Leather (love the color! it looks black at night, dark blue in daylight, and sometimes something in between!)
* Luxury Package
* Navigation
* Parking Assist
* Rear Lip Spoiler
* Headlamp Washers
* SAT Radio
* Preferred Accessory Package
* Wheel Locks

I've added 3M Color Stable window film (35%), Lexus OEM allow sports pedals, IS F grill, F-sport lower air box, Putco Jet Yellow 3000K bulbs, disabled the DRLs, and put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires (fantastic). I have plans to add F-sport lowering springs and sway bars...and would love to find a super nice set of X-package wheels (PM me if you have a set!).

I feel like I won the lottery when I came across a Lexus HKS Dual Sport Exhaust system (p/n PT916-53060) on eBay and on this forum. This is the port installed option that was delayed, and when finally released, Lexus noted: "not available after 8-1-07". HKS developed a louder V.2 labeled as the F-sport exhaust (p/n PTR08-53090). See thread for details: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...ds-inside.html

I purchased the Lexus HKS exhaust from a ClubLexus enthusiast. He had the exhaust polished like new, boxed it up, and shipped it to me in just a few days. I plan on installing it tomorrow. Thanks, Mike!

You all have been a great resource. I appreciate the insight. Here are a few photos for now. I'll add a few more after I get the exhaust bolted on.

Thanks, Mike. All good...installed the exhaust today. The fitment and sound is perfect. Sporty for sure...and not loud at all. With the windows up, I can almost forget about the new pipes.

Very nice find. The luxury pack, plus parking sensors, plus headlight washers is extremely rare. Just like my car. Mind if I ask how much did you pay? I got mine in 2011 with 37K for $29,000. It stickered for $46,700 new.
