Arrow Last Night with my First: IS250 with OEM IS-F Conversion

After nearly 10 years of fun driving and memories, I finally sold my 2007 IS250 6MT. It was a great learning experience as far as mods go and value. I have a tradition where I take pictures of the vehicle I'm about to sell the night before it's gone. I'll be doing a thread on how to do the OEM IS-F conversion since I always get asked. On to the pictures:








And here's a pic of what I'm replacing it with:

Wow looks great, awesome job, and congrats on the F. Within the 10 years of owning the is250 did you experience any carbon build up issue?

Thank you! It was a great first car by all means but with what I want to do it makes more sense to have the F, I do miss the manual already though but am appreciating the 8 speed.

Thank you so much! No I never experienced it. Took it to Lexus a few months ago and asked them if I should be worried, they did their diagnosis then asked how I drove the car. Told them I didn't baby it and took it to high RPMS pretty regularly. They said thats probably why theres no build up.
