i just picked up an 08 is350 and am noodling through what to do first as well. I have another curveball in the equation though... the wife! It is OUR car so whatever I do will have to be subtle (i.e. what she doesn't know won't hurt her). In no particular order, I am looking at F/R F-Sport Sway Bars, JoeZ Intake and airbox mod/drop in filter, yellow fogs, carbon fiber interior trim (about the only thing she has approved)... and we'll go from there. Would like to drop it at some point as well (she may notice that one...).
