I just hope the weekend you guys pick is an "off" weekend with my kids. I am guessing there aren't too many IS-Fs around with kiddie seats in back.

New to CL but member of my.is for a while. Lakeway area here, but up by the domain every day for school. Only ugly IS on the road but it sounds nice.

Spotted a Blue F today on 620 in lakeway.. anybody?

Anyone give me an idea how much Lexus of Austin installs F-sport springs? I just recently about 2 weeks ago picked up my 09 IS250 and want to get the F-sport springs. Just a ball park figure would be great so I kind of know what to expect.

Thanks
Welcome. It would probably be around 250-300 for a set of springs to be installed. I have a shop that installed mine on the F if you'd like their contact info.

Looking to add an IS300 as my DD. Anyone here know anyone looking to sell theirs?
BTW I currently have a MSM GS300 on RX330 rims and Tanabe Touring Exhaust. I'm usually around the SW side unless I'm showing homes around town.

Turns out that is an "on" weekend for the kids, but I don't mind. They love riding around in the F. They would get a kick outta all the other cars.

Good to hear from you again mike, from the few posts I've seen it sounds like the F is coming along nicely. Hope to see the changes from the last time I saw it.

I'm down for the 12-13 weekend also

BigMike,
I have an '04 1IS. OEM wheels powdercoated semi gloss black, CF window panel overlays, sparco shift ****, shorty antenna, and tint all around. I think the only silver 1IS in south austin? Recently started mods and am interested in bouncing some ideas off others already in the mod process. If anyone is getting together I would like to meet?

Hey everyone, just a heads up, a bunch of guys from NorthTexasLexus will be coming down here on Sunday November 1st for the day. They're taking a cruise to Austin. I know it's short notice but those who would like to meet up, I'd be happy to keep you posted

I've seen a few modded 1IS' around S. Austin.

I've had experience blacking out 1IS headlights and foglights. Came out really nice. That's something you can do thats cheap and at the same time, changes the apperance of the car.

Food is very typical of Austin - lots of Tex mex inspired organic foods.

The parking really depends on location. The Lake Austin location has a sloping parking lot that is lame for door dings. The south congress location is better for parking.
