pics taken today and should be posted soon. (Thanks ngl1145)

Feels tighter than before (due to camber change), looks killer (with 18" ISP lexus wheels) takes a couple weeks to settle, then real driving begins!!
POST THOSE PIC'S!!!!

About the F-Sport intake was it installed on a IS 250 or 350? I have a IS 350 and would like to hear it on a IS 350 if there is a noticeable sound difference.

Not mine, but thought some of you might want to see one that wasn't silver or on a show stand.

That's how I felt too. Those rims are now in my mod roadmap.

I LOVE the deep lip on the rear wheels.

The silicone spray and sealer is to prevent rattling. If you're having this installed, your shop should have some. If not, you can pick up some Form In Place Gasket from a Toyota or Lexus dealer, and that should work just fine. We also sell it on our website.

The intake was installed on a 250. I'll keep an eye out for one being installed on a 350, and let you know.
