Why would you ruin your car ?

Just use any removable mount such as this :

It costs around 80$ and it is compatible with almost all cars.

I don't want to mess up the paint on the car!

Well... It wont mess up the paint except if some one rear ended you or you installed the mount incorrectly.

Just installed the Yakima Q Tower system with 48" bars and Yakima Q clips.Fits flawlessly with no drilling required and very very tight fit. The shop I bought it at www.autoracks.com was pleased to see there are slight indentations in the roof line,clearly indicating where Lexus wants the clips to go.A good span between the bars, "more then most installations" was the techs comments. Thule does not make anything for our cars was his comment,but Yakima is ahead of the game.

Curt hitch for 3IS I shared on another thread:

I'd rock this!
Is it available yet?

Yes, I just ordered one from autoanything for $120

I have a Curt brand hitch on my 2IS that is very similar to this so here are a few things to consider.

1. These mount in between the exhaust hangers and the frame/body so when the job is complete, your exhaust will hang slightly lower than stock; maybe 3/8". Difficult to notice but it is lower.

2. You most likely have to trim the heat shields to make clearance for the hitch.

3. I didn't have to remove my exhaust completely, I supported it and dropped it slightly but if you can remove it, do it. Removing it will make the job very easy. Not sure if this is the case with the 3rd gen.

I used the Thule 9001 on my 2008 IS350 and luckily, it works on my 2014 IS350 FSport. I will take pics this weekend.

I'd like to go biking. I've never put a bike rack on any of my cars....too afraid. Anyone using a bike rack? Any suggestions? In this case price is not an issue as I will pay for a rack I can feel sure won't damage the car. Thanks!

I bought the temporary one for two bikes, since I do not want to cut my bumper or diffuser . Additionally I covered the bike mount with insulating foam ( used for A/Cs tubes) to prevent any solid part from rubbing against the body of my car.

Thanks!

I have also been looking at racks for bikes and snowboard. I was told that by a local store here that Yakima makes a roof rack for the 3is.

Love my Niner.

Just picked up a Yakima roof rack, best looking in my opinion for our car. Thile and other brands, the bars are too thick and sit too high.
