Long time BMW owner and this is my first Lexus and so far I love it. I want to start budgeting for some mods and wanted to get feedback from the group as to what they have done or thinking about doing.


Mine is a 2015 IS 350 C white/black f-sport with Nav and no ML sound


I will be going with VMR 710FF wheels and other than a totally custom exhaust( which I am looking at) what else are you guys doing?


Lighting, sound? software? suspension? brakes?


Thanks

 

You can check my sig.

 

F-Sport sways to tighten up the handling and reduce the roll. Sticky tires. (Pilot SSs)
F-Sport springs (or coils if it suits you better) to drop that obscene ride height while maintaining Lexus ride quality; the corresponding shocks are optional
Intake for sound
ECU tuning for more power

If you have gobs of money to blow, the drilled rotors and the blue calipers of the FSport BBK looks awesome, but will cost you about a 1 month trip to Europe.

That's really about all there is to it with mod possibilities for this car (apart from some of the additional things in jgr7's sig).

 

Yeah I like the idea of the sways and with my new wheels I'm doing Pilots SS.
For the intake, I'm not sure seems some have posted that the F-sport intake doesn't sound all that cool.
Little leary of the tune for warranty purposes. I had a Dinan tune on my 135i, but Dinan has a great warranty and works very closely with the authorized BMW dealers.


Thanks for the info

 

I have the Takeda intake and its crazy loud under W.O.T. It comes with a heat shield which helps keep heat out if the intake. I do drive the sedan but I imagine it would fit.

 

Thanks, I'll have to check it out. There aren't many mods for the vert. Can't even get an exhaust

 

Takeda intake without a doubt. We have them on sale this month.

 

Guess the custom exhaust you were looking at earlier didn't quite pan out? (was also something I was mulling about but never got around to)

 

No decided against the exhaust since mine is a lease it was either the f-sport or nothing. I didn't want the hassle at lease end. May do the intake tho, I am hearing they sound cool.

 

Can you send me a link or part number? I added my vehicle and it doesn't show up. Also, your site states that there is an APEXi and an Ark that will fit the vert, but my understanding from extensive research contradicts that. I would consider a tried a true bolt on exhaust but none seem to fit the vert.

 

So I may be wrong but I think all of our cars are the same in the sense of the intake will fit multiple cars Like the 250 , 350 the gs350 as well. So it may not list the ISC specifically but it will probably fit.

 

Did you ever check out just removing the resonator with a straight pipe? Ever hear of it? I wonder how that sounds...
