I was a fan of how you had it tastefully modded
Looks like you wanted to move to something more subtle & luxurious; the IS350's are nice cars. Just wished they had more of a sporty appeal to them.
Congrats on the IS350. My dad has the 06 GS430, and they are very nice luxury cars. Build & quality is awesome, and it's definately a nice looking car.
Lexus are very nice cars for those looking for a car with class

My mom has the 07 GS350 which is also a great car. Very fun to drive and very, very luxurious. I tried to get her to bite on the LS but its "too big"

You should have sold it to me! Your video was actually the thing that inspired me and locked me on the FI exhaust
Goodluck with the new ride!

No, no. It wasnt too loud. It was the droning that got to me in the low RPMs. I do miss the noise. I miss driving around and having everyone look at my car and feeling like my car was better than any other car on the road. Thats a great feeling. I just was ready for something new and something different. The opportunity presented itself and I took it.
I love the FI exhaust and with the HFC, what a pair! The sound was amazing and the power was there in every gear.
Thanks again everyone. Im looking forward to ordering my coil overs and wheels real soon!

Car is looking good so far! Can't wait to see what else you do with it. I am coming up on the end of the lease of my 05 coupe and was possibly looking at the IS350.
After much research though, I've found the aftermarket for it is lacking severely without much promise on the horizon. There are some coilovers and intakes and whatnot available, but most of the tuners aren't really looking into the car much, seeing as its not as much in the tuner segment as the IS300 was in its time. I think the only company with any sort of FI for it is LMS and they have a low PSI S/C for it. I think its about $5 or $6K and nets you maybe 80hp if that. But beyond that there is nothing. Either the companies are waiting around for someone to go first or they've decided there isn't enough people that would buy it to merit the R&D costs. I hope that this doesn't remain the case, but the car is already 2-3 years old.
I think I remember reading about the engine being too high compression and the fuel injection system on it being a beyotch to work with or something. But anywho, I'm not still totally out of the market for one, just deciding if I'm ready to step somewhat away from the modding scene just yet. Not sure if you've been to the sites yet or not but check out www.clublexus.com and www.is300.net for some great resources and whatnot. But again like I said, can't wait to see what all you do with this one as your G looked awesome!

Thanks for the compliments, once again. I did my best on the G and swapped out lots of my mods for others until I was finally happy with how the car sounded, performed, and looked. I went through countless sets of wheels, intakes, springs, exhaust systems, and even shades of tint. Im doing it right this time

Loving the ride. What was the name of that exhaust company you mentioned again?

The exhaust company I was talking about it FastIntentions. Check them out at www.fastintentions.com or give them a call at (818)882-2788 and ask for Tony.
Once again, I appreciate all of the comments! Keep em coming. I should hopefully be ordering my coilovers very soon and deciding on wheels within the next week. More pics to come later on
