2022 Lexus IS300 AWD F-Sport (Atomic Silver) Build Thread
Hey everyone!
Just joined this forum recently, having picked up a new 2022 IS300 AWD F-Sport in Atomic Silver and have a ton of plans for it in the near future. My previous car was a 2019 Mercedes E63S, which I wouldn't dare touch, so I'm quite excited to be back in the modding scene! Would love to share my build gradually as the mods come in. Thus far, I've had the rear windows tinted, the window and side mirrors and 'IS300' badging chrome deleted in vinyl wrapped gloss black, license plate relocated, and installed a bluetooth adapter for Android Auto.
I've already ordered a front splitter and side skirts in gloss black from NIA (8ish week wait), the TRD rear diffuser, 20" Vossen HF-5s (4 week wait), and will be sharing these pictures as they're put on. As a side note, if anyone knows where to get lowering springs or coilovers for the latest gen IS in AWD, please share!
But for now, here's the car when I first picked it up from the Lexus showroom here:

License plate relocator kit and 2-way Thinkware dashcam installed. Wish I could go full license plate removal for the front (love the IS front grille), but police have been known to ticket drivers with a missing front plate here.

Looks awesome! That’s basically my plan what to do with my car as well.
Nia splitter and side skirts are way to go for our 21/22 IS!
Question - I don’t like these small ‚NIA’ emblems on splitter/skirts - is it possible to remove them somehow? Are they glued or there are any clips holding it? Personally I would prefer clean look without any brand logo on it.

I had a closer look at the NIA emblems after seeing your message, and unfortunately no it doesn't look like they can come off. They look integrated into the pieces as if they had been part of the mold. I was originally on the same thought as you, I'm not the biggest fan of the emblems, but now that they're on, they aren't super noticeable (though I'd still prefer if they weren't on at all).
Sorry I can't be of more help, but perhaps some options would be to wrap the entire piece, so that you can cover the emblems. I believe on the NIA website there was an option to purchase the side skirts and front splitter unpainted as well. It might be best to reach out to a sales rep from NIA, they are fairly responsive.
