Well first thing first I bought a 2006 Lexus IS250 awd not too long ago all stock haha...ride slow and make head turn all im about =0.. I just currently red out my rear signal lights and will be adding more in the future..

Five Axis lip (front)-Might go with Seibon Ts-Style CF front
Gfx lip (rear-sides)
Bc Coilvers (lose the gaps)
CF Roof Spoiler
Shark Fin (looks)
and go staggered but dont know what kind of wheels yet..trying to go 19's =p

Never heard of anyone going staggered on AWD. Maybe because I was around Subarus for so long and staggered wheels were a big no because they messed with the diffs.
But anyways, welcome! I'm new as well.

Welcome to CL. Nice color and year. Use the search to help find answers to questions you may have. Be careful with the staggered on the AWD. Some people have had issues.

Gfx lip (rear-sides)
***I wouldn't get the GFX sides. It's just the same thing that sticks out a LITTLE BIT more, not worth the money IMO for such negligible change. I prefer Vertex sides for clean look but yet hangs lower
Bc Coilvers (lose the gaps)
CF Roof Spoiler
Shark Fin (looks)
***maybe get CF to match your CF roof spoiler, and CF wrap the roof
and go staggered but dont know what kind of wheels yet..trying to go 19's =p
but if anyone want to show me some wheels on their IS AWD it would be nice
Edit: going to add on Joe-Z intake and Greddy Exhaust (dont know which to choose from yet)
Greddy SP Elite or Tanabe MT if you want OEM look and subtle sound. Greddy EVO3 for a little more aggressive look (canister style muffler) and louder, throatier sound

recently car look.....

Congrats on the car. Hope you enjoy it. Let us know once you get your stagger setup going on that AWD

It's not recommended, but there seems to be a good error margin, but still a gamble IMO

I think it's because Subaru is a 50/50 AWD...whereas 2IS is 30/70 or 20/80 (not entirely sure)
I'm not sure what kind of diff we have but for sure not LSD
