Looks awesome.. Reminds me of the prototypes we made back in 2006...

Sorry, been of town visiting my daughter (she has an IS250 as well). I'm just a 63 year old car guy. From my first car, a '69 SS-396 to several other muscle cars to MGs, Jensen Healy's, Karman Ghas, RX7s, Miatas, to the 2009 John Cooper Works MINI I sold to buy my 2011 F-Sport (still a bunch of others in between).
Fist, thanks for the compliments on my car. Now, I'll try to answer some of your questions.
I ordered the CF kit from Chris (chris@fxautodesign.com) at www.fxautodesign.com.
I got the iPhone mount from http://mountek.com/index.php?main_page=index It Works well and doesn't affect playing a CD. I did add a strip of rubber to the fingers that fit into the cd slot for a little better fit.
I bought just the filter and intake tube from Sewell using the CL discount. I got the blue silicone hoses from http://hiracing.net/. The OEM tube is is 3-1/4" diameter and the throttle body is 3.0" OD so you need the 3.25" to 3.0" coupler. I used a 3.25 "hump" coupler even though the inlet box has a 3" OD outlet. The clamps pull it down just fine.
If you have any other questions, let me know.
Harold
