My car is going to SEMA so I couldn't really tell you how much the s/c would cost normally but it is not too cheap. However I really want more power and I have never had a s/c car before, only turbo. 40 wheel horsepower on a car alread doing 258 is quite impressive. Perhaps you can contact Luxury Motor Sports to find out. They are in Monrovia, CA. As for the wing, email ed@bakerlexus.com. The wing comes painted already. The employee here at Fujita put mine on for me so I don't have an "installed" price. Pmus=Project Mu brakes.
My tint was 20 in the rear and 35on the front windows. Make sure you don't get metallized film if you have the navigation.
Buy the clear bra (Star Shield Armor)if you want to save your front bumper as well. I got chips the first two trips on the highway. Just my suggestions to help others out.

Project My brake setup is about $2800.00. Look out for the upcoming TPR Magazine which has a step-by-step install of the kit. www.TPRmag.com

Very nice, I saw your car parked outside the Fujita office in Temecula a few weeks back when I went looking for it. Can't wait to see what else is in store for your car.

im interested in how the brakes perform compared the stock ones since the stock calipers are already pretty large.

Stock brakes are pretty good already. I like the Project Mu brakes but I had to do some adjusting to get rid of the squeaking. After speaking to Mackin, they said there is a less agressive street brake that should not squeak. My brakes no longer squeak though. If you plan on upgrading the power of your IS350, bigger brakes will definitely come in handy. I don't think you can justify almost $3000 for a stock IS250.
