Default 3IS Mods Planned/Done

How many 3IS owners are planning to do (or have done) any mechanical, electrical, and visual modifications to their new IS?

Planning to do a partial wrap, air intake, interior accessories, and tints for sure. Possibly exhaust and HID lights.

Wheels --- sitting in my house
Suspension --- waiting on springs or Coilovers
Tires waiting to see which size I'm going to need
K&N Intake installed
Dry Carbon fiber roof wrap --- still don't know if I want it .

On a white IS, carbon fiber or black vinyl looks sharp with tinted windows. Makes it look one uniform piece from windshield to trunk.

For the K&N intake, do you mind taking a picture of it?
How's the power and sound on the 250? I'm looking to get an intake as well on my 250 AWD but not sure which one is best from a fit, power, and reliability perspective. Any feedback is welcome

I will post pics , I think is not worth spending $200 + on an intake simply because on the is250 its really doing nothing except look cool in your engine bay and maybe add 5 hp which you will not be able to feel . As far as sound it does sound mean when you rev the engine, I never rev my car high enough to hear it open up because i drive like an old lady . I think on a is 350 is worth it since people actually buy the is350 for the extra power .

Don't you lose Fsport variable suspension if you switch to aftermarket springs or coil over?

Only got clear bra. I think I'm done with mod for this car.
