Got my 3IS a lil while back. Finally decided to stop lurking and finally post
First mod was to throw my old 12" Rockford Fosgate sub in (P300 punch), held in place with a metal bar to the trunk.
Next got exhaust done by a nearby shop with some Magnaflow mufflers, 2.5" tubing, res delete (that I did not ask for lol), and burnt dual tips (wish i went w quads lol).
Then tints 50% all around except windshield
Lowered the car a few months back on RSR Downs and got a CF Spoiler and CF Roof Spoiler and some yellow fogs.
First time to the beach, stock Exhaust Tinted Freshly lowered on RSR Downs CF Spoilers Fogs As it sits now

Hi everyone.
I hate lexus... it reminds me of my ex... always nagging me about getting one. so i finally got one.... without her!
I hate lexus... it makes me look like the stereotypical asian
but it was a smart and sensible choice. 2015 IS250 not-even-an-F model i'm kinda ok with it except it lacks in many department for me.
that being said, I'm mainly going to upgrade the audio in this non-ML toyota. trying to to spend on performance.. i mean, it's only a 250.. not worth while.
....should of gotten a 2016 S5 but... it would be a bad choice financially atm
so here i am. with an IS250
p.s. planning on sound deadning and pulling the wires for the amp and DSPFix86) so if someone can point me to the correct wiring diagram for the head unit and the factory amp. that would be greatly appreciated.(i had no luck on google)
Just bought a new '21 IS350 for my wife! We went to the dealer looking for a new ES350 and then she saw this one on the showroom floor................left the dealership with it that night!

Congrats! Which color and options did you go with? (photos would be nice )
Hello all. I have a 2016 IS300 AWD (non F), white on flaxen. No immediate mods. Just enjoying it stock for a little while. Only items so far are basics, since it's my daily - weather tech mats, and ebay splash/mud guards.
Edit: added photo. Stopped by my sister's place to show her the car on my way home.
Leaning towards getting the RCF front bushings to sharpen up steering feel. Will eventually go for a 18x9 square setup once I decide what wheels I want.

Well I bought my 2015 Lexus IS350 with 44,000 miles on it back in August in Houston. I traded in a 2008 E92 M3 and I am super happy with my trade. I drove the M3 for a very long time, but my mind finally won the struggle with my heart and I decided to make a change. I was originally looking for an IS-F, but I could not find one reasonably priced to my liking. Ultimately, I decided on the 3IS because I wanted a more updated Lexus with fewer than 80,000 miles. I love the Lexus design language for this generation IS because the cars look a little more aggressive and stylish.
About to go for a test drive Parked at work later that day
Since then I’ve done simple cosmetic mods and a muffler delete because the stock exhaust was just quiet for me.
I installed gloss black rear ‘IS350’ and Lexus emblems. I used plastidip to black out the window trim. I love how it looks so I’m now waiting for this rainy weather to stop so I can remove the dip and install gloss black vinyl. I also blacked out the front grill chrome, but will remove that and paint it gloss black when the weather is better. I installed a gloss black RX front emblem. I have 20 mm spacers all around on stock wheels. I picked up some cheap 18x8.5 and 18x9 wheels to throw on with some nasty neochrome tuner lugs. I’ll eventually put on gloss black lugs but I really want to see how these will look. Future plans are lowering springs to eliminate that horrible front fender gap, put my new wheels on, get black window trim pieces, a rear diffuser, quad exhaust tips and that’s probably it.

Cheeeap wheels Nasty neochrome French fries on the road from Houston to Dallas
Here's mine,I modified it last summer, and choose a summer color for him.
Upgrade with SCC air suspension, Accu Air control system, this makes him looks more aggresive. SSR forged wheels with forged grade 12.9 shell-type lock bolts kits(sky blue .at ******) reduced the weight and with a better look.
I'm about a month into my 2018 Is300 F ownership and it's been a pleasant and much needed upgrade from my 2014 Hyundai Elantra Sport. As much as I enjoyed that car (it was a sneaky fun driver) it doesn't compare to the quickness and agility of the IS and was rapidly declining in fit and finish. I contemplated a lease on a new 350, but found a smokin' deal on a well equipped 2018 CPO with only 17k miles and a virtually untouched interior. So far, so great.
After reading through the forums for the last hour, now I'm getting nervous. Tires, brakes.....anything else I should be aware of that's inherently an issue on these cars? I'm a pretty handy guy (done quite a bit of DIY work on Jeeps and Mustangs) but now that I'm in Los Angeles and only have an apartment space to park in, DIY work is NA.
Thanks a bunch and look forward to learning more about these super fun cars!
