I found a diamond in the rough

Thanks for the pointer. I was thinking about the smoked, not blacked out, tails but when I saw some of the pictures with the IS250/350 that have them they didn't look right. I plan to get the Nokya Hyper Yellow fog lights.
Do interior LEDs make that much of a difference in the interior lighting? I mean when your driving the less light the better at night I think. Only good for when you need to search for things in the car?

Even with my wheels a little tucked, the spacer won't damage the fender while the wheel is in full tilt i.e U-turns.
The IS-F tails make that much of a difference?
I do want to retain some of the ride comfort, but I will always want to improve handling.
You already have the F-sport suspension, so coilovers won't provide any significant upgrade in handling... just height adjustability. Lower does not always mean better, the suspension is designed for a specific geometry, and you can lower it to the point that it has a negative effect. Going lower for the sake of going lower is a cosmetic mod.
Thanks I'll look into an exhaust tips. Will a exhaust system be worth it or tips are all. Exhaust tips don't change sound right, just looks? I would like to make it a deep tone.
Yea, true about the all black making it all blend in with no definition. I don't really care for cruising unless its on my bike. The bike pulls more girls then a car, even a nice one. I don't cruise that much anymore and when I do its always with a group of friends. I am also thinking of redoing the front tints with 35% because it too dark and I will get pulled over for sure on a cruise night or club night unless of course the windows are rolled down. Even 35% is pushing it. Do you live in the Fresno area or how do you know about blackstone, at least you didn't say kings canyon. GFX package tips? Are you talking about the lip kit I have or is there another add on?
GFX package tips means the exhaust tips. If you redo your tints, think about getting a strip on the front windshield. I'm not sure about CA, but in TX you can get it on the top 5 inches of your windshield... the IS has a natural cutoff where the rearview mirror is, I had them match the length to that, and IMO it looks quite good... very useful for when the sun is on the horizon as well.

I am looking into getting another set of rims though, 19" this time.
Thanks Tohn
Thanks, any suggestion where I can get the spacer and what brands to go with? Will my lugs nut still fit without me having to worry they will come loose and fall off?
