Default Ultra White/ Rioja / 350 AWD

So I figured that I would post some pics of what I have done thus far. I had Xpel clear bra and Tint done first weekend I owned it. I added the Fsport intake with some minor mods on, the air box didn't fit so I added some drill holes in the stock box and the F-sport filter. I did this because I was warned that if I went with another there could be the possibility of losing warranty or having issues with it. Plus I got them down to $325 for the intake. I added Work Emotion Kiwami special edition wheels with Toyo 4+ tires. The rims are 19" I plan on adding exhaust and some other minor body adds, maybe some Carbon parts i.e. front lip, rear diffuser etc... Hope that you enjoy the pictures. if they all add correctly it will be stock to what I have done now...

I forgot to mention that I stripped the decals off of the back of the car.

Is it just glue or is it hole punctured? I'm thinking of doing that too. It looks ugly just having IS350 on it without the F sport. For me, it's either with the F sport or nothing at all.

It's a glue behind it. I took mine off and all I used was some goo gone and dental floss.

I was told the Fsport logo was punctured, the others on the trunk were glued. I didn't want to pull the Fsport logo off then have a hole to fill.

The F-sport badge on the fenders have guiding pins. Same with the rear

I added the F Sport exhaust because I got tired of all the promised build dates for the AWD cat back. But here is a pic from the other morning...

How do you like the F-sport exhaust?
I want something with a deep sound, but don't want any drones (been there done that).
I found a few clips on YouTube (from one of our fellow CL members), and sounds like the exhaust can't be heard until you go hard.
Any feedback will be much appreciated. I've been reading up on different brands, albeit very limited for 350 AWD. Thanks.

I'm also curious if you could post some videos so we can hear the exhaust in motion. Would love to hear what it sounds like at different RPMs.
