Nice start for modding cant wait to see the rest! We basically have the same year and color IS lol i'm over west of Toronto in Waterloo.

Where did you order the fogs from? i've always wanted to have fogs but the F sport package it was never an option.

thanks!
here is where i got the fogs - http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Lexus-IS-F-...s-p/70-600.htm
i installed them myself too, just had to go out to cdn tire to get connectors http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/ce...6928p.html#srp

overall DIY was easy in terms of tools required, medium difficulty was when trying to take off the existing plastic insert cause it was difficult to see with the small opening from the wheel well

Altech has a great customer service, I was late for appointment but they still accommodated for me and saw them do the same for 2 others who came by without an appointment. Will post alignment specs soon

Were the alignment machine heads attached to the rim or the tire? A little hard to see in the photo.
I'm interested in how your alignment turned out since we have the same vehicle. I did mine yesterday and my right front camber and caster is out of spec...but the first alignment I did after the springs were installed was fine, which was about 6 months ago.
So now I'm questioning if its the car or the machine.
