Default Any mod suggestions?

Hey guys, any suggestions are appreciated!

I have a 2011 IS250

AWD

Tinted Windows
OEM Spoiler
K&N Air Intake

Suggestions for an exhaust setup? Roof Spoiler? Lips? Anything?

There are many popular combinations for exhaust setups, it all depends on personal preference. The most popular exhausts I have seen are the PTS/Joe-z exhaust or tanabe...

No offense but if you want go fast parts you should consider upgrading. Start off with a quick platform and build from there. ISF would be a good starting point if you want to keep with the Lexus IS line. I would highly suggest you take a hard look at the money you throw into cosmetic appearances and upgrades to your vehicle. How long you plan to keep the car and how much you spend on upgrading it during your ownership. I've seen guys with Honda civics who have ten to twenty thousand invested & they change their mind and wish they had an M3 instead. Remember that a modified car does not increase the value. In a lot of cases it will be tougher to sell as your pool of buyers will be decreased unless you strip all the parts off and return it to stock. When you sell the aftermarket parts expect a 50%-70% loss from your purchase price.

+1 Ive put way too much into my IS over the years, should have gotten the F model from the beginning haha. I do love where my build is though and dont think I will ever sell it (lose too much $ and too much sentimental value)...unless i get like 40k for it haha
