rc2o6 - very nice ride! Congrats. The Lexus IS-F uses H11 bulbs for the Fog lights whereas your IS350 uses 9006. You will need an H11 HID kit for your fogs. 3000k is definitely the way to go.
Hope all is well my friend..!!

Nice color! I love riding my motorcycle more than driving my F however 
Don't waste your money on all that bodykit crap...because you are an '08 first thing you should do is pick up a rear FSport/Sikky rear sway bar to neutral the car out more, and then when its new tires time put wider tires on the front to reduce the understeer even more.

I thought about headers as well, probably the PPE headers but not sure if I want it that loud paired with the intake and exhaust. It'll be awhile before I purchase headers and an exhaust because of the price tag.

Thanks everyone! Here's a picture I took with my Iphone 4 outside my building complex earlier this afternoon:

I just finish installing the Joe Z intake and exhaust today. Im not sure about the headers yet. I have until the end of the month before the sale ends. As for now my F sounds great. It should have came like this from the factory.

Hey all,
After reading the warranty thread (listed below) and since I just purchased my 08 USB ISF with ~62,300 miles on it from an Audi dealership, I ended up buying the Platinum Coverage from Audi which offers 3yr/36k mile extended warranty for $2516 (originally around ~$3200) starting on 5/24/12 that will end on 5/24/15 or ~98,300 miles with a $100 deductible. I originally was not going to buy extended warranty from Audi but since the Lexus factory one already expired, I thought I could use the extended warranty and better safe than sorry in case the navigation screen goes out or something else. Since the cost was included into my monthly payment, it was just so convenient that I figured, why not. I was told that the extended warranty I purchased was one of the best ones out there.
I'm starting to get the feeling that I got ripped off and reconsidering returning the warranty coverage (it says on the form that If i cancel within 30 days of purchase, i'd get a 100% refund). Is this the same extended warranty everyone purchases or did I just get ripped? I also purchased the "Road Hazard Tire Coverage" where it'll replace up to $5000 within the next 5 years starting on 5/24/2012 for $517.
What do you guys think about this?

06/06/12 Update: Joe Z intake, Putco H11 Jet Yellow fogs and front dome V-leds just came in earlier today 
Waiting on the group buy for the Sikky rear sway bars: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...group-buy.html
If that doesn't go through or not enough people get in the GB, then i'll just pick up the F-sport rear sway bar from Sewell.
Also ordered an Oem.Thing roof spoiler, hopefully the color matches: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320916579756...ht_4661wt_1168
