Just the F-Sport intake and exhaust. Probably wont do much more. IMO this car is almost perfect as she sits

Those Vossens have been selling very well with the Lexus line-up. Co-worker has them on his RC-F now & we've sold a few IS/GS with them. Great looking car.

Are you on any Lexus forums? If you see a set of stock wheels/tires for a good price, please let me know! I want them for my DD set up! haha I've been loving those f-sport wheels.

How does your car drive? The reviews say that they drive pretty good for the size!

Gawww another IS.... I'm in love with this car. Again, if the back was so small I would bought one over the Accord.

Those tail lights. I wouldn't do anything else to it either..

Saw one in a parking lot today. VERY sexy car, but again pretty small - even my daughter mentioned that.

It drives great. Coming from a front wheel car for 11 yrs driving a RWD car is different. It is a little small in the back seat,but I'll never have anyone back anyway

Great looking IS.

Yep, exactly!

FWD->RWD is the way to go. The driving experience is so much better in every way.
