What's up everyone! Just purchased my 2015 IS350 F Sport a couple weeks ago. Was in a TL for about 6 years and wanted a change. So far I'm loving it.
Stuff I've done since purchasing:
Invidia Q300 Axleback
AEM Dryflow intake filter
LED conversion for any and all halogens
iJDMToy Foglights
18% Tint all around w/ 60% windshield
Tein Street Advance Z

Got the height dialed more evenly now. Sold the Invidia and picked up an F Sport Performance exhaust. Installed the F Sport intake and Cusco strut tower bar under the hood. R1 slotted rotors and gloss black calipers all around with ceramic pads (no more horrendous brake dust). Swapped the blinding iJDM fogs and went with Winjet. Got the window switch trims and glovebox trim hydro dipped in forged composite. Thinking about buying the OEM F Sport trunk lip.

Any particular reason why you got rid of the invidia

Didn't like how big the mufflers looked, didn't have a luxurious look to it. Sounded decent but wasn't satisfied with the tone either.

What are your thoughts on the front strut bar? Was it worth it? Did it noticeably improve stability / handling?

It definitely feels more planted. I actually softened my damping a little bit to allow a bit more travel since it was noticeably tighter. Also looks amazing paired with the F sport intake. 10/10 recommend!

It absolutely looks better! I just haven't heard anyone speak on the actual handling effects. They are pretty inexpensive anyways so I guess it doesnt hurt to try it out. I have an aftermarket AEM intake so I would love to see it under the hood! Thanks for your help bud,

Which front strut bar did you go with? And did you get the rear strut bar as well?

Purchased some Stance SF01s through Aspec wheels. Not too many wheels look great on this car and its hard to find wheels that fit over the front brakes but also in the very narrow wheel wells. Loving how it looks. Also replaced the cluster lens, multi display lens, and the clock as the last owner seemed to have used harsh chemicals on them.

I like your choice in wheels. Vossens here.

I got the Cusco one for the 2IS, fits up perfectly. The rear one does not fit unfortunately. I couldn't find another brand for the rear specific for the third gen.

Looks great! Is your taillight tint an overlay?
