Default I'm getting the mod itch!

When I bought my car last November, I planned to keep it completely stock other than tinted windows. After seeing and hearing all the other IS-F's at the Lexus of Westminster meet last month, I'm getting the itch to do a few things!

So tinted windows and the Figs LCA bushings so far. I'm feeling some front splitters though.

Stop me now before it's too late!

It's dangerous. I made it almost a year before it really hit me... It's a down hill slope. Just enjoy it.

I keep telling myself that I blew my budget for mods this year, but parts keep finding their way to my house in the mail. Go for it, you won't be disappointed

This is the perfect car to quit modding. There really isn't too much available in terms of aesthetics or performance parts. But it is still quite potent and visibly attractive stock, slightly modded, or heavily made over.

As for VIP Auto Salon, I would still trust them, despite the negative reviews on the company. I thought I was pretty much done with my F,and I've been talking to them about purchasing more parts, as they've helped me through the years with my build. They were in attendance at the Lexus of Westminister meet with its Instabuilt RC F and, even though I've seen it multiple times, it's still a stunner.

If you've got an itch, you should scratch it. Plus it'll make you enjoy your car that much more. Every little touch that you do to it makes it more of your own unique style. Getting ideas from meets and install help on the forums makes modding a fun experience. Costly, but fun nonetheless

Apply a hot spoon to this itch. It'll alleviate it
