Default My new to me 2011 IS350 F-Sport build so far

I'm a little late to the party but this is my new to me 2011 IS350 F-sport.
I got it about 2 months ago with 45k on the odo and love the 350 engine ... this is what I have done so far, nothing to radical.
So far I have put on some H&R springs with Tokico Blue struts...Tanabe Medallion exhaust...Rear F-Sport anti-sway bar...cool ceramic tinted windows...
Roof spoiler...F-Sport intake....Morimoto Fog lights....Vossens VSF1 wheels (8.5"x19" front , 10"x19" rear) w/ Toyo Proxes 4+ (235/35/19 & 275/30/19)tires.
That's it so far, kinda broke now.....but happy..lol.

Are those actual f sport front brake calipers? How's the ride quality? I was thinking of doing the fsport shocks and springs if I could find them.

Thanks, those are the IS350 brake calipers..I just painted them blue and added High Temp F-Sport decals cause it looks cool. I can't afford the F-Sport brake upgrade.
The ride is firm but you feel confident in the turns, as it holds very well with hardly any body roll and when you brake you don't nose dive.
I like the firmer ride myself I think the stock ride while comfortable, is too soft for me.
H&R springs and Tokico Blue struts.

She's looking good! Just picked up a 2012 f sport in USB not to long ago, was planning to get that Tanabe exhaust (is there any drone with it on highway speeds also is it pretty loud when not on WOT?). You on Oahu too? Was planning to see if there are any meets with the Hawaii guys.

Hey Ziggy,
The Tanabe exhaust is pretty quiet, just deeper tone. It's not loud around town or even at highway speeds, no drone.
I am on the Big Island, did you buy that USB F-Sport that was on craigslist recently with the low miles? That was a sweet car.
Congrats on your new IS!

^ yup it was the USB on craigs, the color really sold me. Was on the fence and about to put in a order for a WRB WRX but this deal came around... I think it was that it was the 350 and the blue color I wanted. I jumped and bought it even though I have a Honda on lease lol! I'll start a thread and post some pics, going to pick it up from the detailer this evening.

Cool, yes it was a beautiful color..... and looked like a good deal too, because it had such low mileage plus I think he said it was his dad's car so you know it wasn't abused.
You'll won't be sorry with the Tanabe Medallion, the quality is top notch, sounds just right and they are beautiful.
Lucky you, those 2nd gen F-Sports are rare in Hawaii!
