Welcome to CL. I was also a long time lurker. This forum is excellent. My Wife can't drive her '12 IS-250 enough. It's a great car. I have a '12 RX-350.
I test drove Bimmers, Audis, Porsches, Volvos, MB's. We bought the Lexus for the refined luxury,and reliability.

Good luck with your IS!

Welcome! Good color choice... are those Infiniti G37 rims? They look similar to, but bigger than the OEM 17's offered for the 2IS.

Welcome to the club and have fun modding it. There's a lot of options as far as exterior modifications just not much performance modifications

Those are definitely Infiniti rims..

Welcome to CL! don't let the aftermarket support get you down because there are lots of things you can do to personalize your is!

A sway bar set, stainless steel brake lines ,and might do the 350 big brake kit. I'm gonna wait and see how the car rides and brakes, after I sell the 19s to downgrade a size.

not too much into looks , but I'm considering maybe a fr lip, and blacked out upper grill. already ordered yellow foglight bulbs. at least there is aftermarket support for handling. which works for me bc i'm a nerd for getting into corners. doing my research now to see if the 350 will bolt up to the 6speed
