Speaking of DIY, where's the best place to get the shop manuals for the IS F?

I've done myself so far :
- sikky rear sway bar
- swap denso oem spark plugs to denso IKH20 plugs
- HPS silicon intake elbow
- Osram D4S CBI 5000K
- Engine oil change
- All brake jobs

The print version is not worth it. I have an annual subscription to TIS. It makes sense with three Toyotas in the garage.

On my past cars I DIY everything except engine assembly. I haven't don't anything to the F yet but I plan on doing all work myself when the time comes.

I just looked at the subscription prices.

When I bought my Corvette I think I paid ~$150 for the complete set of printed shop manuals. That's roughly what it would cost to "rent" the Toyota manuals for 6 months.

What does the printed version of the IS F shop manual cost that makes it "not worth it"? $1,000,000??

When I asked for the print manuals on my IS350 in 2006, they told me it was going to be over $700. Much cheaper to subscribe.
