Default Early talk on modding the is-f

Ok, I know it is too early to think about it. I know there are peeps putting deposit on the is-f, and some even start planning what to do on the car already.

What mod will you do if you have one? What will you definitely change regardless how Lexus package it? Let's talk about it!

Probably diff wheels eventually. I can't think of too much to do, since they seem to have done so much

Maybe add carbon fiber parts, make it lighter...I dunno.

I would definitely get rid of that ugly exhaust and install maybe an HKS exhaust with nice blue burnt tips.

Keep all the "must change" coming.
This tells the manufacturer that we never satisfy with their offers.


I think the coolest option I want is...
"No Wheel and Tire Package - Customer will provide own wheels and tires - Save $3,000".

If they charge me $500 to replace an o/e wheel, I wonder if I can refuse to buy the set at beginning.

I will buy this option if they offer it.

The exhaust to a nice normal quad exhaust with a matching rear bumper.

If the chrome on the grill and badges is not black chrome then I'd do that too.

Since we are all dreaming at this point, might as well go overboard!

I would mod the following:

1. Different wheels with some crazy sized lips and as crazy wide tires - 245 mm in front and 285 mm or bigger in the back.

2. Carbon Fiber hood, front fenders and roof

3. Tint (35% all around)

4. Louder exhaust - remove resonators, add X-pipe.

5. Race cats

That's it!
