Default What's your favorite mod to your IS?

So the 2nd Gen IS is in it's 3rd year of production, and we've had some time to see some of the mods that owners have made to their cars. If you've modified your IS, what's your favorite? Wheels? Exhaust? Red outs? Intake? Body kit/Aero?

Of all the things I've done to my car, my favorite has to be my Tanabe exhaust. It fit like a glove, didn't break the bank, looks great, required no extra work to make it fit, and really changed the personality of my car. A big thumbs up to Tanabe on this exhaust.

If I were to pick a "2nd place," it would be my wheels. They add a sporty, aggressive look while saving my a considerable amount of weight over the stockers.

What about you guys?

Out of the few mods i have right now i would have to give 1st place to the tint because it really makes it look that much nicer, 2nd place goes to my OEM rear lip spoiler because i got it for free, and it adds an aggressive look.

Definitely the Eibach springs. Made the car look like 100x better and handle slightly better too. Turns the car from ok looking to just stunning without breaking the bank. I am sure this goes for other lowering ways ie Tanabe springs, coilovers, but it's just the way I went.

My second would be the Tanabe exhaust, even if I am replacing it with a Greddy. It just gives the car a more aggressive bark and makes it a lot more fun to drive and it looks GREAT.

Lowering, with the Tanabe NF210 springs. I have AWD and the gap was disturbing to say the least

1. Exhaust: Sounds like a G35/Supra!
2. Springs: Made the car look incredible and handle 10x better!
3. Kit: I think the ISx50 looks retarded without one
4. Wheels: Theyre gold!!!!!
