    I might check out the Tom's lip kit. But I'm getting the Wald rear spoiler for sure. I'll have to get it molded into the trunk as well.

    Yeah, post pics of before (your car) and after (an installed example).

    What look are you going for? Do you want it to look modified or OEM? In-your-face or clean?

    I'll post a pic as asap. I'm looking for a clean look. Nothing too flashy.

    Just did a royal purple oil change, installed Pulstar pulse plugs, and the AEM CAI. The intake came with a fully insulated heat shield and still uses the stock air induction scoop. Pretty awesome.

    Yeah, I think all the real intakes for the IS have a heat shield and use the air scoop (and are pretty awesome lol). I'll see what I can find in terms of a clean lip.

    The stock chrome headlights is what gives Lexus the luxury look. I like the contrast of it. Light and dark. I will paint or replace the grill with a black version though.

    HAHAHA! I'm like, "what is this star thing"... highlight ... LOL

    Hey, it was in style when I did it.... OK it wasn't ever in style but ok

    I like your attitude bro, keep it OEM. That's the only reason I have "altezza" tail lights and yellow fogs on the IS... cause it's OEM. Even though I dislike them greatly (because they've been riced out)

    they are almoat completely different.... well at least I would think so.

    yes yes, I get it, you both would like my car better if I left it stock. But there are plenty of stock cars for you to look at, so I take mine to the next level.

    If I had an IS300 I'd do pretty much the same stuff as your except wider wheels in the back, no cf hood and no $600 intake.

    From the exterior they look almost exactly the same except for the fog light holes and the wheels.

    Yeah, I'm gonna do wider wheels all around... I screwed up with these lol. Trying to get some use out of them before I replace em. And how much would you spend on an IS300 intake? Or are you saying you wouldn't change the intake at all.

    I'd get a $200 intake. But my wheels would probably be like 2k
    Hummer they have different fenders, different exhaust looks etc

    Yeah, $200 is what I'd suggest to spend on the intake, that's what I was gonna do, but then this $600 intake popped up for just over $200, so I figured what the heck and got it. I don't see the point in spending that much on wheels alone... $2 is good for wheels and tires though.
    SHEEP ALL LOOK THE SAME TO HUMANS.... BUT NOT TO THE SHEEP... ok I just called myself a sheep.

    In other words, yeah I thought they were all the same, but now that I have an IS, I can spot the difference a mile away.

    I don't have any IS variant and I can tell you that the 250 and F are completely different. No need to have a Lexus to spot the differences gold.
    Off the top of my head:
    1: Front bumper
    2: Rear bumper
    3: Front fenders
    4: Sideskirts
    5: Hood
    6: Taillights
    7: Wheels
    8: Brakes
    Have you seen one in person? Or shit have you heard one? That V8 is BEASTLY sounding.
