Yeah man, there are plenty of things to do. I suggest looking at the obsidian IS's in this thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...50-thread.html

but off the top of my head:
intake, exhaust, visors, body kits, lighting mods, suspension (sway bars, shocks, springs, coilovers, strut bars), brakes, redouts, wheels, grilles, spoilers the list goes on

See Sewell Lexus parts site, They have beaucoup oem upgrade parts for the OEM+ look if that is what you are into. GFX, F-Sport and others.

Just do the mods in Hoovey's signature and you'll be good.

I have an obsidian IS and really like how it looks with the black stockers even tough I am missing the drop and the spacers that will make it look a lot better (they are on the way )...be carefull if your gonna go the black out way it might be an overkill if you dont do it right....enjoy the color is a pain to keep it clean but when clean looks sick....well like Hoovey2411 said there are a ton of mods that you can do i was just talking about the ones related with the obsidian color..

^ Haha, I'm so out of control. I have to order something every Sunday or I start to break out in hives. Just about to pull the trigger on the turn signal mirrors. Sigh.

I would suggest the following, in order: drop (springs or coils), sways, exhaust, and intake

then the rest in any order, such as: rims, BBK, any body kit, JDM visors, lights, etc

hope that helps, most importantly, have fun modding your car
