I have had this IS for about 2 years now and the most I've done to it is slap the airbag suspension on. I'm happy with the way it sits on the Rotiform CCV's but it needs more. Simply put, what would you do if you owned this car? There are no wrong answers.
I love what you have done to the car. Have you ever thought about putting an f sport front bumper on? I think it would make the front look more aggressive.
I love the idea of having an air setup on my car since it's a daily, but I just can't give up the trunk space and the ability to drop the rear seats for more storage to haul stuff. With that said, I can understand the utility of the roof storage. For now, I'm just static on RSR down springs.
I've found the looks of the car to be enough, and most lips scrape like crazy driving on the roads around me, so I gave up on that idea. I have a really hard time myself on what to do to the car aesthetically to set it apart, but I've found wheels and exhaust to be enough for now.
The only thing I can think of are the 10mm wide front fenders from seibon and maybe a front lip. The IS is just a great looking car to me as is, and I continue to have trouble thinking of what I would want to do myself to modify.
Chrome delete.
F sport bumper
Rx front emblem
Remove the roof rack unless you’re traveling (what do you roof rack folks even keep in there)
Don’t know what the rear looks like, but maybe a rear diffuser
Chrome delete for sure. If you do an exhaust, quad tips look better imo. Also update the rear diffuser to the 17+ look. Looks great with quad tips. The RX style emblem gives it a custom oem look. Not a fan of roof storage unless they're actively being used. Otherwise, it just adds weight to the car, which kills mpg.
What would you do?
