If it's fedex home you won't get them til Tuesday.

It's very annoying Sewell ships everything "adult signature required" isn't it? You cannot even leave a note.

Funny thing is it's F-sport springs for me. Along with the sways and spoiler. The Shocks got here last night!

I was going to plastidip my grille surround without removing it but after about 15 minutes of taping I figured it would be easier to remove the grille. It only took about 10 minutes to remove it. Definitely easier taking the grille out than taping everything off in my opinion.

Plasti dip works perfect

*make sure you let the plasti dip dry off perfectly before removal.
30 mins after last coat, 15 min between coats.

Thanks for the tips guys.

My rear sway bar box says "IS250 AWD" on it. Did they send me the wrong part or is it the same for my 07 350??

My JDM Chargespeed rear lip showed up...finally. It's carbon fiber, but I'm going to paint it to match my car.



Here's the driver's side piece:

The F-Sport rear sway bar is a nice upgrade to the ISF. I've done it, and I'm here to tell you it works. So, IMO, keep the F-Sport rear bar.

Upload it to Photobucket or something and you can resize with their tools.

Unfortunately I had to take the IS-F back today after Lexus inspection showed it had been wrecked quite bad. On a side note I got my tires for the IS350 wheels..
