L-Tuned Parts has a great list of stuff available for the IS F. If you're looking for OEM type mods, Sewell Lexus (also a vendor here) has some great stuff. Because you'll be in the US, I'd suggest maybe ordering and having those parts shipped to a US address and taking them back to the UK, as I'm not sure the cost of shipping them from their locations (L-Tuned in California and Sewell in Texas) makes it beneficial to you.

Enjoy your family trip, and safe travels!

Just like in Canada , we get shafted all the time with import duties, brokerage fees etc. and shipping with UPS is the worst, for example, I bought a little electronic part last week, seller marked down value to $30US, after all, it came out to $55US, just ridicules. Good part is we can ship to US address by the border and go pick it up .
