The f sport exhaust sounds magnificent. A bit more than u wanna spend but u won't be disappointed. Its music to my ears. I might of bought a cheaper exhaust if I would of had a sound to listen to but couldn't find one. Only for f sport so I got that. Happy I did

HKS is going to be really loud, just warning you. Go with a nice drop and front lip!

Wow! This is painfully true...

You basically have two options:
1) Log out and forget you ever heard about CL, my.is or mods in general
2) Increase your $750 budget

...there is no happy medium (unless you're one of those rare people who have self control )

Yeah I've read on CL about the HKS being loud, YouTube and such doesnt really get much across to me, so maybe I'll run into someone in Houston with it and I can decide what i think about it. I love clean sounding loud exhaust, just not sure if i want it everyday and on a Lexus...

I'm talking to a few buddies of mine about helping me install the springs, one owns a mobile mechanic company, so hopefully i'll get the springs and install them soon!


Anyone ever seen the stock rims i have painted/powder-coated black? I'm not looking to do it, but just out of curiosity since I've seem some of the other stock rims painted.

I'd drop the senior citizen pinstripe and grab some F-sport springs. You'd be styling!

with stock wheels. Coilovers, and wheel spacers will be the next mods. I made the mistake of buying lowering springs. get coilovers.
