New year new car😎
Hello everyone! Russel in south Florida here. Just bought a 2016 is200t F sport in ultra white with the black interiour and red seats. I traded in my 2013 accord exl coupe v6, I will miss that car as I do my old rsx-s, but holy smokes Ive never driven a car of such luxury, and the way it drives is AMAZING! I can definitely feel the way it handles based on its great weight distribution, its on rails around corners and no body roll...my accord was very front heavy.
The sound system is wonderful and the interior makes alot of sence and very comfortable. I drove it home in miami traffic and didn't feel as worn out when I got home. The cabin is super quiet and the seats are very comfortable.
The power is nice, I love that low end torque! Im gonna have to get used to a turbo rwd, it surprised me on the highway when I got on it, I looked down and was going 90 and didnt even realize it!
Once I get used to the way it drives Ill get the burger motors piggyback device and then maybe an intake for a few more ponies and so I can here the turbo👌🏼

Finally got a new 3IS
hi guys! First time owning a Lexus. Just got a used 2016 IS200t f-sport. Black outside and black inside. Got a great deal on it. Hope to be educated on this Lexus from this forum, thanks everyone.
The owner had added rsr lowering springs on it which made it look really nice.

Hey guys, I'm Simon from Jamaica & new to the forum. I recently got this beauty imported. Its a 2017 IS 200t Fsport in White with Roja Red seats. Probably the only & first one in my country that has the new facelift in F Sport model. Car runs smooth & very comfortable apart from its lag in the lower rpms, I have no complaints. It has some aesthetic mods done to it. apologies that the wheels look a bit dirty in this pic but i just got the car cleaned up. I will post more of it in the different sections.

Lowered RSR Downs

Creepin' for a while now and now I'm coming out of my shell
Forum mates,
I'm not much of a poster, in anything. But this has been such a great resource for the work I have done on my 3IS that I want to introduce myself and say thank you to all the great posters.
2015 IS250 Luxury, Starfire Pearl / parchment, factory 18", factory LEDs
Aftermarket parts: (I live in Cali so my options are somewhat limited)
- Tein Flex Z coilovers (I have the EDFC Active just need the install)
- Invidia Q300 (a little too quiet)
- AEM Intake
- E&G classics Black Ice Fine Mesh Grill
- APEXi Electronics - SMART Accel Controller
- 20mm wheel spacers
- Beat Sonic Nav Bypass
Having a ton of fun with this ride.

You should put some pics of that front grille up...every once in a while someone asks about aftermarket grilles, and I've never seen one yet.
How are you liking that Apexi controller?
And if it's hard to get aftermarket parts in Cali, let me introduce you to a little place I like to call Canada lol!

Just joined the 350 club!
Just bought this baby a couple of weeks ago!
2015 IS 350 F-Sport in Starfire Pearl. Black interior. Windows came tinted from the previous owner.
I’m coming from a 2001 Benz E320, so you can imagine this is quite the upgrade for me.
I’m already looking to swap the exhaust out for the axle-back MagnaFlow.
What’s the best budget option for smoking out the lights?
If you have any recommendations or ideas for mods, I’d love to hear them!

2nd Lexus
Hi All,
This is my second Lexus in 10 years. My first was a 1990 ES250 (Pictures attached) which was the first car my parents bought together. I recently had a 2014 BMW 328i, but that was totaled not too long ago. After doing a lot of research about safety, reliability, resale value etc. I made my mind up and went back to Lexus and found a fairly good condition 2016 IS300. I apologize for the bad photo, but hopefully this beauty lasts me a while!
Cheers,
