Tanabe Medallion touring exhaust (Waaaaay better then F sport)
LED interior lighting kit
Black roof spoiler
Wheels - Niche M170 19" 1 pc wheels
Fronts - 8.5" 35 offset with Michelin pilot sport A/S 3+ 225/35/19
Rears - 9.5" 45 offset with Michelin pilot sports A/S 3+ 275/30/19
Wheels are new - I had 18" stock lobster claw wheels on before
Been slowly building this car since I traded in my 08 IS 250.
Wind delfectors - never thought about that actually.. you mean like a bug deflector on front of hood?
Lip kit might be dodgy the front of the car is already pretty low with a lip kit I wouldn't be able to get into most parking lots without giving it a new paint job/ tearing it off haha
Red out on the tail lights is just vinyl (2 pcs one skinny for the side and 1 fat for the large portion) - I ordered them pre cut if i can get the site info I'll post it i have leftovers still
yeah black grill would look mean on black car. im going to plasti dip mine first woth glossifier to make sure i like the look and then paint if i do. im personally going to get it professionally painted cause you only have one shot amd i never painted anything lile this before lol
i gott doffuser on ebay for $82 vs the genuine $500 or so. fitment is 8/10 but the place i got it installed didnt do too well.. there are spots that need more tape/glue to stick it on better. plus if youre planning on keeping the diffuser on you can spend a little more money to have it molded and will literally fit PERFECT
Maybe I'll try the plasti dip route first as well.. I painted old stock rims with plasti dip and they turned out great..
I'm curious as to what it would cost to have it professionally done..
I definitely like the look of the diffuser.. and for $80 its a fairly cheap mod haha From what i see most of them come un painted so that will cost a bit extra
painting grill im guessing wil be around 100-150. they need to sand, prime, paint, clear coat
yes the diffusers come unpainted but i got lucky. i got mine painted and installed while my car was in the shop when someone hit me on the fwy so i got it painted and installed for free since it was my friends place
yes tape and glue SHOULD be enough but i had them put screws in it too since i drive 100+ on fwy i would hate for it to fall off lol.. there are 3 diffusers i lmow of for our cars: MyRide, TOMS, seibon cf. i have the myride i think its most aggressive
Maybe I'll try the plasti dip route first as well.. I painted old stock rims with plasti dip and they turned out great..
My $.02, I plastidipped mine and it looked really nice, decided to peel the grill surround back to chrome. The fins on the grill just look much better black and plastidip is barely any work to do. Pics on my build thread of both options if your interested.
Wind deflectors for the doors/windows. OEM/JDM are the best looking but pricier around $400. AVS look similar to those for about $100 but not as nice. I went Weathertech since they sit in the window but I've had AVS before, subtle addition to dress it up a bit.

Yeah maybe I will try just the fins at first.. I actually like the chrome border but like you mentioned the grill insert would definitely look better black.
Nice car. I personally think if you got rid of the yellow overlay and went with bulbs it'd look clean with the rims.
I hear ya, I have yellow HID's (3000K Xenon depots) installed I just wanted a bit more of a yellow look..
Part of my problem is that my driver side fog housing is really scored/ pitted from the car being so low with all the crap we have on the roads up here.. I actually have a second set of the fog lamp vinyls.. I ordered 2 sets just in case I wanted to take them off and possibly put them back on again haha I might play around with it this year.. especially before I go install the actual yellow fog housings that I got on ebay for $100
