Some background about the car: so i bought the car in May (wish i got the 350 instead of 250 i did a lot of research and everything but for some odd reason i end up with the 250 maybe "more power = more tickets" hahaha), also i think i got a better deal with the 250 than 350. My car msrp is $44,500, out of the door price is $42,000. So after driving it for a few month with 19mpg i think its time to make my liltle car a bit more fun to drive.



So here is the mods i did and planning to do.
Plasti dip OEM wheels black (will get Vossen CVT 19" and and better tire in november)
Installed Stillen front spitter (i wish i went with carbon fiber body kit. Stillen front spitter is good for its price, but i cant pull the trigger For the diffuser its over price IMO). P/s Stillen customer service is A+++
Will tint my car next week (i live in CA so problemly 25% all around).
Will Upgrade RR-Racing Big Break Kits in October front and rear for around $2200 (best price i have ever seen and it look GOOD, p/s i dont track my car since its too damn slow,but for $2k its worth the look IMO).
Just purchase F-Sport exhaust from my local lexus dealer for $1200+ 8% tax around $1300. ( they offer to install for $280 but my local shop do it for $150. Its easy to install but i dont have the needed tools .)
i think JoeZ is better ( serve the same purpose and added same HP for only $600),
For intake i dont think its worth it just my $.02
Sway bars will be my last mod since i dont want to lower my car, i know its all nice but the road where i live in is like from 3rd world country road.
Also, planning to de-badge the is250 emblems.
I will updatesome pic latter when i get home. Tried to post with my ipad and pop up skme error.

Installed exhaust sound beast. Will have clip soon

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. There are specials from time to time where you could get the Diffuser for a little less if cost is an issue.

Pics of the wheels and front lip please!
Was debating on if powder coating the stock wheels would be worth it for me. Black on black

Thank you! We appreciate the business. Keep in mind, we now do custom color options. We are doing a few customer cars this weekend, will post pics of the custom calipers soon.

Yeah I will keep waiting for the next sale event I think thanksgiving is the nearest holiday that coming up soon. Because I already have Stillen front splitter and the rear diffuser match it so perfect that I will get it. However, $400 is a lil high IMO (I know I'm being cheap but u know I'm 20 so $400 still a lot for me).
Just a little note about the front splitter. I bought mine and the 3m tape that not put in place correctly result is that I scratched my paint a little, also about half an inch short. Then, I came to get my dad help he look at it and cut the 3m tape that way out of where it's supposed to be and its fit perfectly. Luckily, the splitter cover that scratched paint so I'm all happy with it.

I went to brz/frs forum and you guys very well known there so I am not worry about the quality anymore, and for the price is just awesome less than the front f sport break alone. Can't wait to see it on my car along with the CT wheel.
