Found a fellow Lexus appreciator.


Perhaps an "F" appreciator, too.

This above pics highlights how much the new IS has been improved stylistically - It is a beauty! The GS was nice but the rear overhang now looks too long

GS is more of a big sedan. It's definitely an acquired taste.
Easier to stuff all your kids / stuff into a GS-F.
This is why I have no kids

According to what he said, he already has some interior and exterior mods. For exterior, the parts obviously are from TRD. For interior, he has upgraded virtually all lights to full LED.

What is most intriguing is he has upgraded the foot rest AND foot brake to aluminum pedals. It is something I am tempted to do...

EDIT: this is the F Sport leather seat ( factory order)
Drool.....red leather

I like how those wheels work with the Atomic Silver...

Sometimes I wish the US got those headlight washers - especially when I lived in Kansas City with its winters. Not that they were particularly snowy, but they were... gross. Salty and slushy at times. Still the IS AWD was a champ in those conditions and super fun to slide around.

Have them on my 2014, think it was part of the ‘Winter Package’. Don’t think they really help a lot. It’s just that the LED headlights don’t get hot and melt the crap off.

+1 on that! Still look forward to the first snowfall of the season, head for an empty parking lot, and let the fun begin!

It's 15%, so it pretty much is solid black from a few meters away. Originally I was going to do 35% just to keep it legal, but the shop recommended going darker and said they rarely do legal tints.

My wife’s 2019 IS300 F sport getting some wheel-love. Picked it up last month with only 9k miles on it and go to modifying it much sooner than expected. Dropped the wheels off this morning (19" Niche Misano M117's) , the wife picked them out and wanted to go with a black/yellow wheel/brake look so took advantage of the car being up in the air to spray the calipers. Coming along nicely.
