Give Your IS-F a New Look, Improved Performance on a Budget

IS-F owner is selling a spread of upgraded components, including suspension and exhaust upgrades.

The Lexus IS-F is a beautiful, powerful performance sedan that needs no modifications to be enjoyed on the road or on the race track. However, there is quite a bit of aftermarket support that will assist owners in creating a look and feel all their own. Some of those upgrades can be pricey, but you can save a few bucks by buying those parts used. Of course, the problem is finding such specific items used, but if you are looking for some used performance parts to customize your IS-F, you are in luck.

Club Lexus member “ISFJimmy” is selling a long list of items from his Ultrasonic Blue Mica IS-F, giving other owners a great chance to score some quality parts at a discount. If we had to guess, the car was likely returned to stock to be traded in, leaving the OP with an array of aftermarket parts that he can’t use.

IS-F Parts For Sale

When the OP posted this list of Lexus IS-F parts for sale in the forum marketplace, he included the sole picture of his car with many of the items listed.

Borla mid pipes (catback) and RR-Racing Bazooka tips – $1200
Fortune Auto coilovers 12k front/10k rear (less than 3k miles) – $1200
Vland tail lights (crimson) – $225
RR-Racing USRS – $300
Weather tech floor mats front and back – $100
ISF Floor mats – $60
Four 20MM spacers and bolts – $170
Joe Z intake in blue – $170
USB rear roof spoiler – $80
Two o2 Sensors (the ones not on the main cats) about 70k miles on these – $100
RR-Racing Oxygen Sensor Conditioner – $85

No other details or information is provided, but if you have an IS-F, the odds are good that you see something on this list that you could like to install on your Lexus, especially if your car is the same color blue.

Mechanical Upgrades

If you are looking to upgrade the sound or overall performance of your IS-F, this marketplace listing has several items for you. The Borla exhaust with the RR Racing tips will add some and maybe free up a few horsepower, as does the cold air intake. If you run into a check engine light due to exhaust modifications, the RR Racing Oxygen Sensor Conditioner will fix that in a hurry.

If you want your Lexus to handle better and look a bit sportier, you may want to consider the Fortune Auto coilover setup, the wheel spacers, and the RR Racing Ultimate Steering Response System. With these items, your car will sit lower and look wider, even with stock wheels and tires.

Finally, to add a custom look on the outside beyond the exhaust tips and the stance, the roof spoiler and taillights definitely create a unique look from a standard IS-F.

If you are looking for used aftermarket upgrades for your Lexus IS-F, this is a thread that you should definitely check out.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
