Logos and lights
I ended up only installing the IS 350 AWD Logo, black lexus logo didnt fitm and want a black and white f sport logo
Heres the IS350 AWD logo installed
For some reason this car didnt come with all LEDs so I fixed that
Found this puddle light at lexusacc.com goes well with the color of the car and the illuminated f sport door sills

Changed out the F Sport fender badges for the F sport performance badges to match future mods
Part #S

75362-50360 (unsure on which is left and right) should be between 40 and 80 dollars a piece

Emblem Overlay
So I got the eBay Emblem overlay skin, overall front badge was easy to take out even with the pre collision radar behind it just be careful not to break one of the tabs like I did. The front badge is held in by a screw so it will be fine no need to use any gasket maker. For the rear badge that thing was a Pain to remove... the glue was extremely strong, I ended up having to carefully use a screw driver to get the old one off (the 2017+ Lexus logo in the previous photo did not fit so I had broke the factory badge pins removing it the first time) So I put a brand new badge on in the rear and tinted it before putting it on. (parts #s below it wasn't cheap)
As you can see in the pictures I'm not very good at applying tint from a far it looked ok when it was new but after a few weeks the tint has started to turn an olive color. So I'll probably just get a high quality tinted wrap like vivid vinyl or take it to a tint shop.
Rear badge: Part # is either 90975-02134 or 90975-02109 I'd call your dealer to confirm

Pics with overlayed emblems
Heres some pics with the emblems overlayed and more pics with the 20% tint,
Again like I said in the previous post, you're better off just getting a high quality tinted wrap or a high quality tint for the emblems

Goodbye chrome, you wont be missed!
Got the window trim chrome deleted got quoted about $350 for it. ( Didnt wanna attempt it and waste money to rip it off after my emblems)
I love the black and blue on this car and the black and blue mirror is just *Chefs Kiss*

"Performance"
First "Performance" Mod I got the HPS Performance Air Intake Kit part # 827-682BL (had a small mixup and was missing the velocity stack, but HPS was happy to provide me with one free of charge)
It really brings out the intake noise and is definitely louder then the stock intake and sound generator. Not sure on the butt dyno though, imo it still looks and sounds good.

how is the performance? Any noticeable differences? From what I heard, CAI for our cars reduces performance comparing to drop in filter but how does throttle response feels etc comparing to stock?
I’m asking because I have 22’ IS350 and was thinking about same Air Intake like you have (mostly for the sound 😅 and I’m aware that gains might be minimal to none, but I don’t want car perform worse than stock.

Ohh snap!! Washington State Lexus crew! Keep it coming! I got extra new JDM RSR down springs if interested in lowering your car. I'm currently running RSR super down on my car.
