Default Mods?

Whats up! Just got my IS-F and love it. Lexus was nice enough to throw in a complete tint on my car because of some "problems" I had with a salesman when I purchased the car. Question? Now that I'm getting a tint job done, any suggestions on mods? The last thing that I want to do is void warranties or mess up my car in any way. I'm not too vehicle savvy but I'm just looking for some suggestions that are simple and won't affect any of my warranties. (I think the new wheels are great, so besides the wheels)

Depending on the dealer your warranty can be voided for any of the mods above, so be careful when doing your mods and smart when claiming warranty service.

Default LED lights

One of my favorite, inexpensive mods is interior LED lighting. You can get an interior LED kit on Sewell for $105 I think. The LEDs not only look cool, but you can also see better at night. So it's a win-win situation.

Clear bra. Speeding down the desert roads in your F can't be good for the front.

+1 for clear bra. I wouldn't rush the performance mods. Drive the car for a while, see how it feels, then figure out if you need more power.

Oh, also get a V1 or similar if you're a speeder :-)

I agree with IS350atWOT. LED's aren't that expensive, and they is a substantial difference in light output. Aside from that, intake, headers, and exhaust will cost quite a bit more. I have not tested the new F wit the suspension upgrades, but if you feel you can drive her on stock suspension, I'd say leave it. Clear bra, as DHRP mentioned, is a must. I regret not getting it right away, especially the front bumper.
