New to the whole Lexus gang thing, was wondering what is a good mod to start with. I drive a 2016 is200t

 

I've done tons of mods to my car, and even if you aren't someone who is into mods, I still would list this my #1.

The andriod screen replacement w/ carplay/ AA



There is a giant thread discussing this product and the various sources to buy from and models ( I think they are on a 3rd gen version now, I have 2nd gen): Here

I love everything about our cars except the clunky infotainment system and small screen, this upgrade gives you a full 10.25 HD screen, android apps (the unit is essentially an android tablet with custom firmware that replaces our screen) carplay / AA, and more.

To me this is a must have.

 

Window tint

 

I always start with wheels, makes the biggest visual difference.

 

Stiffer LCA bushings. You can go with OEM GSF/RCF, RR Racing, etc. There are a few options to choose from.

 

Wheels
Exhaust
Intake
Depends on budget.

This and a sunshade

 

At 5 years that car probably needs some maintenance and some wearable items replaced. So fluids, filters and such.

Then I would move onto paint correction and restoration in general before starting any mods.

Wash and clay to see what you're dealing with, and a nice polish with a DA and Meguiars polish M105 or similar then top off with sealant of choice would go a long way at restoring what the car had lost in 5 years time.

 

Tires/wheels for sure! Simple thing to have installed or DIY and adds a lot of personality and/or handling ability to the car.

 

I have a 2015 IS 250 F Sport being delivered on Monday. I don't even have the car yet and I have already ordered the Lexion CarPlay screen. Long story, but I previously had a 2014 Civic Si which was supposed to be the launch year for CarPlay on Hondas, after months of waiting they announced that the 2014 wouldn't get it. It took years to get a good aftermarket solution into my car, then 6 months later I sell the car for the IS haha!

My first search after buying the car was how I get CarPlay into it. I am almost more excited too install the screen than I am to physically get the car lol.

 

I was wondering the same thing, just got my IS a few weeks ago I've had the windows tinted next is getting the car lowered.

 

I just got mine recently as well. If you want to go performance wise, I don't think you can go wrong with exhaust and intake. Great starting platform if you planned on modifying the car in the future.
If you're going for visuals and don't care to modify for performance, window tints look great on this car. Rear lip spoilers or aftermarket rims look great as well.

Best of luck and congrats on the car!

 

Well, this is not on your usual mod list, but I would say get a fumoto oil drain valve. It replaces your drain plug and makes oil change such a breeze. Even if you do not do your own oil change, with the valve, you do not run the risk of mechanics accidentally stripping the nut or wose, the screw threads. IMO, regardles what car one drives, this is a worthy investment.

 

On a 200t, definitely the D3 tune and some sort of infotainment upgrade whether it be carplay, screen mirroring or a full standalone Android system.

 

Interesting. Do you happen to know which one (part number) fits our cars?
