Finally pulled the trigger an got the matching Lexon (Rep) Carbon Fiber side skirts to go with the front splitter I had. Got them from the same ebay seller I got the front from. Again I heard horror stories on the packaging and fitment so went with the same seller, and again they did not disappoint..very well packed and perfect fitment. even came with mounting hardware.

Trying to find something that not as aggressive looking like the Aimgain and one that will retain the factory exhaust outlets..although my son begs to differ and thinks I should go with aggressive and just weld on some dual tips.

I actually like the non-F Sport wheels on the IS350 also. The way they seem to fill in the wheel wells makes it look better.

First the sub and now these... I'm beginning to think my 18 is too ordinary. Darn you Tarmac!

Nice C63s in the background BTW.

LOL..the subs were my bday present to myself and the side skirts from the wife and kids. It time to step up you game and start with some aesthetic mods..I am 52 and still love modding but just for the looks, I will leave the performance stuff to my son and his MazdaSpeed3
Yeah the C63s belongs to my coworker and its a beast..that Hot side V sounds so amazing and I think is much quicker than his previous CTS-V

Nice I also went up a tire size recently and it was totally worth it.

I'm nervous for my purchases. I already have 295 on the rear. I'm going from 235 to 255 on the front. I'm also installing Invidia catback as well... f sport '14

Those are Nice!

I've been thinking about installing those kind of Rotors. I heard sometimes they make a roaring noise due to the slots? How do they sound? Any noise like that?

I like them. I was hesitant at first. I wanted slotted rotors instead of slotted and drilled. Another reason and the same reason as you; I had a set on my old car. It made roaring noise. That was a decade ago.

Good news. No roaring noise with this set. I made sure and tested this on my girlfriend's GS. lol. No roaring noise on her car. I waited a month and purchased a set for my GS. No roaring noise as well.
