ISF is much much faster than a 3G TL, that's for sure. Enjoy!

VERY nice!! Congratulations!!!

Thanks guys... i know lots of people dont like the isf faux tail pipes but once i get the new ones that are completely through i think you will like and on top of that it will sound like a beast lol!

i do like the isf but its wierd cuz im used to driving my modded slammed tl which gets more looks but i think once i get the isf modded it will turn heads too

first is first..... window tint this friday holy crap i feel so awkward sitting in a car with all the windows non tinted feels like a damn fish bowl....

after that i most likely will grab some exhaust, then lowering springs for a mild drop, then some rims and finally some CF body parts to finish her off... shes guna be my canyon monster haha

Don't worry once you put an exhaust on it it will definitely turn heads cause no one expects a Lexus to sound like this.

I would suggest some BC coilovers instead of springs. Most of the springs do not drop the front enough to give a balanced front and rear drop it keeps that awkward stock look with more than double the wheel gap in the front than the rear.

Cccolts .... I'm just worried about getting rid of the the ride quality there is now for something even more stiff.... I know as the car sits now the front is raised compared to the back it's really awkward looking. I'll have to do some research and see which coil over or spring set up to go with I'll probably be asking you questions down the way as I mod this
