Default 2017 IS200t mods on 2018 IS300, will there be any issues?

I just leased a 2018 IS300 (4-cylinder) and was having issues finding any performance related mods online. I was wondering, would purchasing 2017 IS200T mods and installing it in my car give me any issues? I'm new to Lexus and all the trims are extremely confusing to me.

You can use MY2017 mods on your 2018, that is no problem.

There are limitations to the modifications you can make on a lease. Make sure you don't violate your terms.

I just plan on getting the JB4+Intake(http://tinyurl.com/jb4-is300), and possibly a BOV and downpipe down the road. Was just curious more so as I wasn't finding anything when searching for 2018 IS300.

I should have mentioned this in my post, looking at it, it seems I was very against mods at all.

Throw on as many parts as you want, just have the stock parts for when its time to return the car. I guess the point i was trying to make was dont drill any holes in your trunk to mount a wing or anything of the sort. As long as you can return it to bone stock, youre good.

The 200t mods should fit a 300 RWD..

Let us know if you need any exhausts, body kits, wheels/suspension!
