Default Next Mod ???
What's up everyone? New guy here......I'm asking for your help. What should the next mod be for my 2012 IS F.
I've replaced the OEM hood with a CF one. This wked I'm installing a Wald Diffuser.
Because I can't do everything I want at one time, I need to pick between Front Lip Spoiler, Trunk Lip spoiler or KW V3 Suspensions.

Not sure what you prefer more but I would recommend an exhaust next. Then maybe an s4play diffuser.

I'd advise to go with suspension first. Coilovers do make the car much more pleasant. And handling wise, I've been told KW does a spectacular job. Looking forward to the pics!

With a 2012 the suspension isn't as important to change IMO. If this was an 08 I would advise coilovers as the first mod. But on a 2012 you're good and should focus elsewhere.

Exhaust then coilovers.
The ISF is too much of a fun car to focus on "non-function" mods like front lips, window visors, diffusers, etc....at first that is
