They released a newer version axelback for the 3IS? more info on it pls?
I took advantage of this offer from this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-test-fit.html
The axelback is labelled "H" behind the canisters. Per Invidia-USA, it is 15% louder than the previous version (the fiberglass packing material is different). You can contact Gordon for more info: gordonj@jetworld.com

Reason: Grammar
interesting rear strut tower shot--did it make a difference? Cause rear bulkheads tend to be inherently stiff. The shock towers seem fairly close to the rear structural bulkhead section.
I'd be more interested in retrofitting an RC-F style triangulated brace that attaches to the firewall. It seems the RCF uses the same front shock towers as the 3IS as well as the front firewall. However I am not 100% sure if the 3IS has the necessary provisions. There's insulation blocking where the provsions would be on the RCF firewall. Anyone pull that padding off far enough to see whether or not threaded provisions exist? If so, I'd be off to my nearest Lexus dealer to pick up an RCF brace =) I tried pulling with my fingers but I'm afraid to break the insulation. my car doesn't even have 500 miles on it yet!
Not yet, I thought I did my research when I ordered rear I was wrong. Or they had the 2014 year included when it shouldn't have been. I haven't got to drive it enough yet to notice a difference. Hopefully front tower bar and Fsport sway bars will be on there way next week.
Just got the is200t f sport White w/red interior last week and cleaned up a little more with some simple styling...
30% 3m tint all around
Very nice. Just got a new F Sport too. Mine is silver/red. Chemical guy'd and collinited it up (see blog for collinite info)
Nice caliper decals. Did you clear coat over them? I think i might have to get me a set. Concerned about not clear coating it but seems you dont have to. Actually im thinking of painting mine G2 Blue.
BTW I can see the square around the "t" still.. lol is that residue? Looks cool though.
I also did ALL LEDs too everywhere including a high power LED panel in the trunk (not bulb) the trunk is SUPER bright white!!

Thanks! I didn't clear coat them. Just cleaned the calipers really good and slapped them on. We'll see how long they last. The red around the t is just probably reflection from the red. It's clean all around it.
You gotta do the puddle lights reverse lights too. It looks so clean with white LEDs!
EDIT: Oh crap!! You're right! There is a red square around the T. LOL
it it must of been residue. After a wash, it was perfectly white around the emblem.
Also dropped by Invidia for testing their new Q300 (H) mufflers on my 200t.
Initial impressions: the (H) mufflers pair much better because the turbo already sucks out some exhaust note so the original Q300 ended up being too quiet. There's very minimal drone and sounds decently aggressive.
Also, if enough of us show interest, they may consider making a turbo-back exhaust!
