Im just waiting for my pads. Sometime this week, when I'm free from school and work. Should be a 2-3 hour install. Yeah, gonna buy some high temp black paint and paint the whole rotor to get that emphasis on the slots

not too late for xmas gift for my ride....

first- LX mode grill- been looking for the right grill for my car and finally decided with this one.

second-figs mega arm-finally decided to take this,i noticed the uneven wear of my tire lately so its about time for this.

third-the BC coils,after a year using eibach pro kit springs,i finally change my suspension for more aggressive and refine performance....

well,like what other member keep saying,it will not end,there's always room for upgrades and modification..

everything installed, got my roof and lip spoiler today and install in underway!

Question... is it hard to remove a factory rear spoiler? I am kicking around the idea of replacing my F-Sport spoiler for an OEM spoiler. Just not sure how it is mounted and how to remove.

I hope a whole car counts... traded my '06 IS350 for a 2011 IS350 with F-Sport and Preferred Accessories package + Nav. Got it yesterday and when I got home last night, the the carbon fiber license plate frames had arrived for its easiest first mod I have some stuff I took out of the "06 that I will be putting in soon: Joe Z intake pipe + HKS drop-in filter, HKS hi-Power cat-back exhaust, Kicker 750.1 amp and Kicker L7 12" sub, 6K flank led puddle lights, 6K Garax HID bulbs... I also took out the carbon fiber trim overlay off but i'm screwed on that one cause the front door panels are slightly different now , oh well I guess i'll have to order those.
