Feb 22, 2008 - My IS350 Mods Summary


I've had my IS350 for almost 2 years now and I have done several mods to it during the period. Now I would like to dedicate a blog entry to summarize all my "accomplishments"...

1. Lexus OEM Sports Package Aluminum Door Sill Plates: The one with "LEXUS" on is the front door sill plate and the one without is the rear door's. The aluminum door sill plate is a standard equipment on all Sports Package IS but since mine is not so I consider this as a mod.



2. Lexus OEM Sports Package Aluminum Pedals: These pedals, which are also standard equipments on Sports Package IS, replaced the original black rubber ones



3. Black Pearl Emblems and Badges:
Replaced the original chrome emblems and badges. I hate chrome, if I can replace the chrome window trim I would do it at once.



4. Lexus OEM Rear Lip Spoiler: It gives the car a more "complete" look, I think the IS looks naked without one...



5. Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs: The lowering springs drop the height of the car by 1" front and 0.8" back. In the process of making the car looks much sleeker, the handling is also dramatically improved. The picture on the left is before installing the springs (stock setup) and the one on the right is after.



6. R-Vinyl Turn-Signal Light Redouts: Two precut red vinyl films change the turn-signal light color from amber to red. The best $10 investment I've ever made...



7. Aerotect Blue Fog Lamp Overlays: Turns the fog lamp from the original clear look to a shade of blue.



Future Mods:
Later this year I am considering to add HID headlights and strut/sway bars to my car.

I got a jacket today that's the same color as your car! In the sunlight, it's dark blue. In the dark, it looks black! (hahaha.. such a girl comment)
