total bill was in the 10k range. that was front lip, front & rear sways, springs, shocks, chassis brace, air intake, exhaust, rims, yokos, lexus ipod kit, & all labor, alignment, etc. again, i know i'm paying premium going the full oem/dealership route but i'm coo with it.

wow man beautiful looking car, i love the f-sport rims. You should tint it though, 35% or 20% depending on your states laws would in my opinion finish off the car. unfortunately with the 10,000 price addition.. your almost half way to actually getting the IS-F... =(

Wow! I was considering the rims, but thought it may look a lil' funny on black cars and the price kinda kept me away, but by looking at it.........it looks pretty nice IMO. Other then that....once you start modding......there is no end.....LoL!!!

thanks
Thanks for all the comments, i posted some *slightly* better pics so you could get a lil better look, they are still kinda crappy tho. I still need to get the friend with the high end cannon to shoot some sexy glamour shots. I also got a few straight wheel pics and full side pic so you can see the stance better.
After driving it for a few weeks I'm still really digging it. I definitely have been driving it more aggressive since the changes (much to my gas budget's dismay).
pisaykotik - Yea, i'm sure I could have saved a few bucks buying online but I would still need the dealer to install them. I like the peace of mind of everything being 100% handled by the dealership and don't mind paying a lil extra for it. They take great care of me and will be servicing the car for a long time so I might as well make friends. But that's just me, and I have a ton of respect for all the guys doing fancier mods outside of the stock market.
sincityIS - I posted some straight wheel pics for you so you can see the stance better.
Scythe - I definitely considered upgrading to the IS-F and had a blast test driving one. However, I had already done a bunch of stereo mods to my 350 and don't drive super crazy so in the end I just decided to jazz up what I had a lil.
juice14 - Yea, I got the shocks and the springs. To be honest when driving casually I can't tell the difference at all between stock and the new stuff. When driving more agressively you can definitely tell the difference, as well as lil handling boost the chasis brace & anti sways give.
Thanks again everyone, I wish I had the time and energy to go non-stock because there are some insanely sick IS's on these boards! Keep killin it!
