If you want speed then the IS250 is not for you. There is basically no performance mods that will make any significant difference in the IS250/IS350.

If you wanted speed and 6 speed should of looked into a 328/335.

I noticed something interesting about your 2011 IS. The headlights don't have LED strip DRLs!
Only cars equipped with HID's have LED DRL's. The 6MT cars are not available with HID's.

Nice car, How about rather than a rear window visor, go for a Roof spoiler.. Like the above mentioned, this aint a civic

The ISx50 comes with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. Just saying 6-speed doesn't mean much, though I assume you meant manual.
