Default Body Kits and Wheels

Hello All,

I'm new to this and sorry if this is the wrong location for this topic. I have a 2020 IS 350 F sport in Caviar and would like to get a full body kit, duckbill spoiler, and new wheels. Any recommendations on items that will fit my car?

Body Kit and Duckbill spoiler: I am open to any suggestions

Wheels: I am not a fan of the low profile tires and really like the meatier tire look and open to any wheel suggestion

Welcome and enjoy!

Honestly--My recommendation would be to stay stock. 1997 -- the era for for BoDy KiTz is long and gone. a 2020 IS is classy and sporty as is =) I'm not sure what a "duckbill spoiler" is but Lexus offers a nice factory option you can probably find in eBay from a selling Lexus dealer. There's a couple decent aftermarket ones as well

As far as wheels, the stock F Sports are grand.

Sorry it's probably not the answer you wanted to hear but you already got the nicest premium aesthetics on your car... all for "free." All you need to do is enjoy it. Less is more!!

Welcome to the forum!

In terms of body kits, probably the closest thing to it is the TRD one.
Mostly the 3IS has aero kits, i.e. front lip, side decks, and rear diffuser or spats.
For the duck bill spoiler, there's a couple options...you can get the spoiler, or an entire trunk lid with the duck bill built in...in carbon fiber too.
Really depends what you're looking for and looking to spend.
Check out NIA and their body pieces...they are a vendor on this forum too!

For wheels, I would guess by your comment that you would likely like to stick with 18's.
You could 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 (front and rear), or just 18x9.5 all around (square setup).
Consider if you want to lower the car or not either...there's tons of choices.

If you could narrow down what you're looking for, we could probably be more specific.

Thank you so much! Sorry I wasn't specific, but this is my first time making modifications on my car.

Spoier: I just want something more aggressive and unique from the stock. My car is Caviar so even an unpainted piece would work but prefer carbon fiber

Body Kit: I'm looking to spend around 1500-2000 for the whole set

Wheels: I would like to stay with 18's or maybe even go to 17's if possible. I would prefer the thickest tire with the widest wheels. I really like concaved wheels too. I saw these Aodhan AFF7 that I like but not sure if that's a good brand and there is the Enkei TS-V which is similar. I know Enkei's a pretty good brand, but those are on back order for a couple months.

I hope this helps a bit and feel free to provide any other info when you can. THANK YOU!

There are a variety of different spoilers and body kits on eBay for pretty reasonable prices. However some people have reported having figment issues with the things bought on eBay.

if price is not a concern for you I would check out stuff from NIA, Seibon and a bunch more I can’t really think of at the moment. Check in vendor page you will a bunch of those guys selling
