Those are dealer MSRP F-Sport prices. If you ask around they are much cheaper. F-sport springs are about $220 at my dealer. Even cheaper than Sewell.

Get the 350. I had a 250 and changed to a 350 because it was slower than a civic si. It is embarrassing to be beaten .

I have bought through Sewell my FSport shift **** and rear sway bar. You should get the FSport intake (i prefer the joez), full sway set, gfx, exhaust, and chassis from them. Buy yourself coilovers for ~850 new and you'll be happier. I hear those FSport shocks/springs ride pretty harsh and also make noises for a lot of people (check the forum). Plus you can adjust the ride stiffness with the coils and adjust the height as you wish. Earlier this year, someone had brand new FSport wheels for 2k with tires. Maybe ****** one of those again when you see it.

You will save a lot more this way and still get a nice new car. I also would suggest the IS-F in the mid 40 range but if you don't like it, you don't like it.

Yeah get the F-SPORT!!

I got my car with the parts, labor and etc all done by the dealership. Came to a grand total of $42,000 after trying to cut them down as much as I could.

2007 IS350 Full F-Sport and all package included for $42,000 once I left the dealership after taxes.
10,000 mileage used car. Bought it on January.

My choice was this awesome deal, or the new 08 is350.....

Bang for the buck hahahahaha

Yeah, I posted many times already. In fact, I posted numerous times hoping to get your feedbacks about my F Sport IS2 and I did not received any comments (good or bad).

I'm going to be at Norcal bbq this Sunday. Hope to see some of you there. I'll take pics and I'm sure other members will have cameras onhand and on my end I'll make sure to post all the pics (my car and attendees) on Nor Cal thread.

Here you go...let me know if you can see it.

The only F sport accessory I did not purchased is F-Sport wheels BUT I might buy for extra set.

EDIT: I didn't buy the F Sport suspension as well. I went with TEIN CS!

JVT - Excellent pic, I remember that car. Even the window trim is blacked out. What wheels/tires are those?

Thanks guys!

Wheels are Linea Corse LMs in gun metal
Tires - Yokohamas

And the rest of the mods are made by F sport, exception to wheels/suspension as I noted.
