Hi
Since over a month owner of 2014 IS300h. Standard Elite version (for Europe).
Beautiful red colour (burgundian red). This photo is not giving the real view of that :P
First upgrades:
- interior LED lights + mirrors
- added cruise control shifter
Next plans:
- trouble-free usage
- dual zone air conditioning (change of panel)
More to decide.

New Owner and New to the Forum
Hello, I just picked up an L/Certified 2015 IS 350 F Sport AWD with 23K on it. It's Ultra White/Rioja red. It has the F sport intake and exhaust, ML sound system, de-badged, and Nav. First thing I'm going to do is get the roof wrapped in glossy black. I'll post some pics soon. Hoping to get some valuable information from this site.

Coming from BMW
Hello folks, I just got my first Lexus! used to be a loyal BMW 5 series owner but got tired of having issues every week.
My new to me Lexus is a 2014 IS 250 AWD in Nebula grey with black and grey interior, I'm loving it but a couple of days ago a drunk driver cut me off and damaged the grille and bumper, it's in the process of getting fixed.
I hope this community is more eager to help than Bimmer sites, any suggestions or ideas on mods or what to expect will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Congrats on the new to you 2014.
Just to get the ball rolling on your initial questions:
Mods (just the basics to get started...and really depends what you're into):
- Set of staggered 19' rims
- Suspension - lower on springs or coilovers (or if you're ready for the leap to bags)
- Axle back
- Intake
- chromes delete on the window trim and front grill surround (if you're into that)
- spoiler
That doesn't even touch on the interior.

Ikon sells a front end conversion kit where you get the bumper, grill, and all the little bits and pieces you need.
I'm not aware of aftermarket grills for the 3IS.

It's not a straight swap. While the F Sport and Non F Sport grills looks similar in shape from a distance, they are very different when compared side by side.

Since I'm new to Lexus I appreciate if I get pointed in the right directions with brands and sites to look for any aero enhancements.
thanks.

That sucks! Since the shop has to replace the bumper I thought maybe they could get the f sport bumper but that's very unlikely, at some point gonna have to make my own.

You can start with Meraki. Many members have bought from them (not me personally), but they seem helpful and offer Club Lexus members a discount (i'm pretty sure...lol)

Went in on the 4’th of July set on a 18 300t caviar exterior Rioja red interior and left with a 18 is350 F Sport Ultra White exterior black interior. Couldn’t find a 300t with the ML system so they gave me a nice deal on my trade (14 mustang) and made it happen wth the 350. First Lexus and I’m in love!
18 IS350 F Sport
Ext:Ultra White
Int:Black
Options: Comfort package, ML/nav, standard features
keeping her stock for life.

New (to me) IS!
I just purchased a 2014 IS 250C. I am moving from a 2003 SC430. I love my SC, but I needed just a little more room in the back seat and trunk. Getting my SC cleaned up and prepped for sale.
I succesfully updated the app software. Next thing is to get a map update.
Tips, tricks and advice are always welcome.

Been lurking on the forums the last two months or since the purchase. Currently in the Seattle/bellevue area, just moved on from a Trailblazer SS (I'm really missing that LS2 V8 rumble, the custom exhaust gave it an amazing sound).
I bought a 2015 IS350 Fsport, ultra white with 21xxx miles, cpo.
It came with the OEM trunk spoiler, and i just added a small rear window/roof spoiler. Partially debadged, with the lexus badge and 350 lettering painted black, tinted all around.
Future plans include new wider wheels, exhaust upgrade, blackout all of the chrome trim, rear diffuser, skirts and a splitter.
I'm also somewhat interested in a conversion to the 2017/2018 fsport front bumper. Any info on that appreciated, couldn't find anything in the forums.
Thanks!
