Bagged Lexus IS300 F Sport Is the Real VIP

VIP Me

VIP is a polarizing controversial (but also incredibly popular) style in the world of Lexus. Laying a big luxury sedan out on the ground and adorning it with extra style and comfort features isn't for everyone, of course. But if you are a fan of VIP, you'll certainly appreciate what Club Lexus member TOPENDMS has done with their stellar IS300 build.

Fresh Air

Despite its clean appearance, this IS build features a virtual laundry list of upgrades. Starting with, of course, the suspension. The biggest piece of the slammed pie comes courtesy of an AirLift Performance 3P air suspension with dual compressors.

Goody Basket

To that solid base, Phil (TOPENDMS)  has added a host of goodies including TOM'S Racing front and rear strut tower bars and Lexus GS F front lower control arm bushings.

Rolling Stock

Stance would be nothing without the perfect set of wheels, and this Lexus IS most certainly looks right with 19" Aimgain GV-S wheels wrapped in Continental DWS06 tires measuring F235/35/19 up front and R265/30/19 out back.

Dial It In

After installing all of that fine kit, Phil was able to dial in his setup perfectly thanks to a local shop with some pretty high tech alignment equipment.

Stylish Body

Next, it was time to give this Lexus a little more style. So Phil added an Aimgain JUN VIP EXE Type-2 Aero under spoiler kit and roof spoiler, both of which are constructed from carbon fiber.

Bringing It Together

There are a couple of additional small mods at play here as well, including silver painted calipers, carbon fiber license plate frames, and tinted windows to bring it all together.

Future Plans

Future plans call for adding TOM's brake pads and air filter, as well as a Lexon exhaust and painted engine cover. We're certainly digging this clean and simple IS VIP build, which goes against the typically wild stuff you see in this genre. And if you feel the same way, be sure and follow along as the build progresses by heading over here!
