Gee, I thought this thread would've fallen off the face of the earth by now! Weather has been crappy all winter so I didn't take pics as soon as I wanted. With spring FINALLY arriving, and all the upcoming meets, I finally have a few halfway decent shots...ENJOY

Glad it got bumped!!! Because I never saw this thread!!

Your IS350 is looking awesome...

Perfectly done... IMHO !!!

Have you thought about having the Grill re-finished just like the emblems..??
(in Black Chrome)
I think it would look great on your car..

Also, any plans for sublte performance upgrades??

LYN, Those Daytime pics DEF gave me a clearer picture
of how the ground effect kit looks. I think it looks especially good on Matador Red.
I am thinking about buying the kit soon, but i havnt found a place to install in NYC.
Any Suggestions?> Send PM

Unfortunately I don't have any hook-ups on the east coast.

Thanks for the compliments. As for subtle performance upgrades, just installed Eibach springs and LMS exhaust . The drop makes it look "complete" . Here's a couple of new pics that bring everything together.

Live in San Bruno, but am frequently in the SSF/DC area. Starting to see alot more IS's on the road, but can't tell if they're CL members unless there's a sticker on the car

^ yeah must be you. Seen you once driving on El Camino near Tanforan, once on Westborough, and once on Skyline blvd going towards 280. Your IS was the first IS350 I've seen on the road and you had the G spiders. After I saw your car my wife and I made the decision to get an IS too. If you ever see an asian guy with a breakwater blue IS around with ISP rims on in the area it's me!

Just in case you were thinking about this Modification....

It would look HOT on your ride.. !!

Plus you already have the Black Pearl Emblem up front..

I hope this pic will help answer any questions that anyone has had about the difference in the tips. The tips come off with no tools needed. Just grab it with two hands, make sure the exhaust is not hot, twist it side to side while pulling out toward you. To install, just use a soft rubber mallet and make sure you line up the notches on the tip and muffler pipe. I'm not sure if you can order just the tips though.

I just got the quotation of the OEM exhaust tips (longer one) from Japan. It is about USD 200 for 2. Is it expensive?

I think if you got some spacers to make those wheels more flush, it would give your car a very nice stance!

Bump for a clean ride! Question for OP, when installing the oem ground effects lip does the oem lip come off or the ground effects lip go over that? Thank you!
