Welcome! Having a 350, how'd you find the tune -- noticeable only up in the higher revs?

Tune is most noticeable after 5000 RPM. Low end dont find much of a difference compared to stock.

Thanks, exactly why I'm considering saving the $600.

Yeah, was last year. Now it's at "599 list - $50 = $549".

Hey guys, new IS 250 owner here. 2014 with 90,xxx. I’m one of the top salesman at the biggest Toyota dealership in my state and I’ve been waiting for a good one to come in on trade - needless to say I got a ridiculous deal on this guy.



Originally I really wanted a white IS350, and after a few years on this guy (I’ve got tons of positive equity already) I’ll trade up and get the big boy V6, but my fiancé is pregnant and the responsible thing to do is be a little more conservative with our extra money for the time being.

As far as mods go, for the time being I’m really set on getting VV vinyls and wrapping the chrome trim, roof and mirrors and then tinting the heads and tails - all black. I’m just not sure how it will look with the silver. I’m also going to buy a black Wald replica for the back (authentic just doesn’t seem necessary on a car I plan on trading for a is350 in a couple years)

Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated. I obviously love Toyota products and I can’t see myself driving anything other than a Lexus at this point. My fiancé will also be getting an Rx350 as we get closer to our sons arrival.

Default spec.B to IS 350 F Sport

Just purchased an IS 350 F Sport RWD to replace my '07 Legacy spec.B. I came for LegacyGT.com and people liked to post their "vacation pics". Anybody has "vacation pics" for the 3IS?


Bye "B"




My new "Bae-B"

Default First Lexus

What's up, everybody. Finally received my 2016 Is350 this week and already loving it.

F-Sport, Obsidian exterior with the Maroon interior.



It's so mean, and I'm having a blast detailing it out and getting my upgrade priorities planned...

My last car was a 2006 Pontiac G6 with a 4-cyl and it's OEM whole host of issues so this is worlds beyond the quality of craftsmanship that I've grown accustomed.

So psyched to finally have a car worth putting the work and love into.
