--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone,

I pulled the trigger on the 08 USB ISF, see my previous thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...r-on-here.html. The car came with new front rotors, new front brake pads, new rear brake pads, all tires are fairly new, fresh oil change and new wiper blades. I also purchased extended bumper-to-bumper warranty for another 3yr/36k miles (it currently sits at 62,300 miles and I'd figure I could use it if the Navigation blows or something), the tire and wheel protection package and added LoJack for piece of mind.

I paid a little more than I wanted for it but got a great deal on my trade-in so i'm happy. I LOVE my USB ISF!!
It's completely stock right now and I can't wait to start modding it so I can open up the engine's roar a little
I sold my 07 GSXR-750 last weekend so I can put a down payment on the car. Since most of my funds have depleted, smaller mods will come sooner and more expensive mods will have to come later. Slowly but surely, these are the intended mods below

Future Mods:
  • Joe Z Intake or iCode Intake
  • Joe Z Exhaust or ISS Forged DES Catback (Don't want it too loud)
  • PPE Headers, possibly *
  • RMI Scoops, possibly
  • Tom's front lip
  • Tom's rear diffuser
  • Roof spoiler - color matched
  • Lowering springs for the front, Swift or Tein, not sure yet
  • Sikky or F-Sport Rear Sway bars *
  • HID 3k yellow fogs (I have previous 3k HID kit fogs from my IS350, are they compatible?) - H11 Putco "Jet Yellow" bulbs *
  • interior LED's all around (I have most of them from my IS350)
I'm sure i'll be adding to this list as time goes on...slowly but surely

Thanks everyone for all the help, I really appreciate it! Big thanks to Matt (STGSC400) as well.
I really wanted to pick up an ISF and the USB is just awesome! So excited to drive it LOL

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.

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.

confused... I'm only seeing 4300K as a choice for the Xtreme HID Digitial kit with philips bulbs.
