I'm having too much fun with my 2014 IS3 (Aka Snow Bunny)

I've always love the IS2 since they came out and wanted one so bad when i was in collage but didn't have the money nor credit to get one. So i got me a Scion TC 2006. I loved the car and did some nice mods to it. Greddy Exhaust, Greddy Intake System, HID Head Light Kit, 18' Rims, and One 12' Kicker Sub Woofer with JL Audio Amp. I kept the body pretty stock. Since I've finish collage and stack my money for a few years I've come a long way and upgraded to the New Lexus IS 2014 and I have to say I am having too much fun with it. From driving to work to driving home I'm always enjoying the great drive on my Snow Bunny. I've done a few mods (Not too many nor big) so far and cant wait to see how my Snow Bunny looks by the end of the year.

Here are the mods I've done so far to my Snow Bunny
>30% All around Window Tint
>LED Kit Interior Package
>All Weather Floor Mats
>Badging - Black Pearl-Black Pearl Kit (Waiting on Sewell to Ship)



Mods that I'm looking into
>Intake System
>Exhaust System
>Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Lip Wrap
>Rims (Not anytime soon)


Glad I found this site and see all of the other mods that other IS3 people are doing and also getting ideas from other people. Just wanted to share my old baby and present my new baby.

 

Congrats on the ride! But I have to point out, the "IS 250" emblem on your car is reading the wrong way.

 

haha yea cause I flipped the picture to look the same way as the TC.

 

Congratulations. Looks good. What an upgrade going from a tC to a 3IS. Enjoy!

 

Congrats, nice upgrade

 

Thanks...

Question, Did you have to do any small changes on the Greddy Intake install from your IS2 you have to your current IS3. I love how Greedy products just sound and want to get the Greddy Intake on my IS3.

 

Thanks greggy23

 

Does anyone know if the exhaust from the late-model 2IS fits on the 3IS?

I just bought the intake (I know that one fits) but haven't been able to get confirmation the exhaust fits.

If anyone has any recommendations for my 350 FSport I'm looking for some options right now.

 

The F-sport in Sport + mode is simply an amazingly well done car. Love it, a hoot to drive, feels complete.

 

Congrats! Great looking rides, both the old and the new one. I can see you know how to maintain your cars in good shape. Keep it up.

 

much better new baby

 

So far in my research, the answer is No. It's because the 3IS uses a true dual exhaust all the way from the engine vs 2IS, it splits towards the back to form the dual exhaust. Only way for now is cut the mufflers and weld aftermarket ones until a true bolt-on is made available.

 

Congratulations! Your "Snow Bunny" looks great. I guess we have similar taste in cars - I had a tC in college and have an ultra white 3IS now.

 

Thanks Kimber13. I guess we do have the same taste

 

Do you plan on installing the badges yourself? I want to get the black pearl badging also but didn't know if I should get them installed by the dealer or someone with more experience. Would love to see the results once you get them installed.
