Default Ready to mod.. where to start

Ready to do some aesthetic mods for my 2018 AWD Ultrasonic Mica Blue IS300 FSport.... I am looking to buy the RSR Downs, and some wheel spacers, can anyone provide me the best size (10,15,20) MM wheel spacers that would fit all around with the stock wheels, and maybe send me a link where I can purchase? I have been doing some research and have been having some troubles finding a perfect fitment where I won't rub!

Another aesthetic mod I am looking to do on the interior is get some bigger paddle shifters, does anyone on this forum have direct replacements? or a nice set of red extensions to match the red interior on the Lexus?

Lastly, what are the options as far as aftermarket parts for power gains for the is300, maybe a tune? I can probably guess the answer to this is nothing but I just wanna make sure and learn as much as I can! Im having some difficulties finding some good exhaust options as well.... I have always been a BMW guy and so I'm still searching for good websites with aftermarket Lexus parts!

Thank You Guys in Advance!!!!

I've got spacers for sale that make the fsport wheels sit flush. No rubbing with downs.

Also. Get the RR racing tune. Makes your 300 have more power than a stock 350 with just the click of a few buttons.

i have downs on my IS300 and it’s a nice drop... you can always do an exhaust and spacers i would say 25mm front and 20mm rear to make them flush with the fenders

Exhaust first gonna make it fun then springs/coils then start with body kit or a carbon flat steering before the body kit.
