Default No performance mods???? Sad import!!!!

What kind of import car has no performance mods avialable??
the is 350 has no mods avilable (excluding a $1ok supercharger kit) which is half the cost of the god damn car

import cars are supposed to have mods available and plenty of them, that is the fun of having a import......my c6 corvette is about the same 2-3 years old and has tons of mods

open to comments!!!!!!

Well considering the Corvette is a DEDICATED sports car and has had a few decades in the market...I would hope there would be a few more mods available. Sad fact is most Lexus owners arent buying their car for all out performance.

It's because the IS is perfect the way it comes from the factory.

Except for the voice recognition, brake pads, I agree screen, lack of user serviceability, etc.
