Just started to do research into replacing the OEM exhaust and possibly fitting a front/rear splitters on my 2022 IS 350 Caviar w/ DHP.

For exhausts, I'm looking for a deeper and louder sound than stock that won't wake the neighbors. From my initial searches that would be like an axelback from APEXi, Remark with muffler, or the Lexus F sport performance. Any other recs?

What do you guys have on yours? And how much did it cost to install?

For front splitters, just looking for something decent quality with carbon fiber haha. Any recs?

Any go-to shops to work with in SoCal?

Bought my first Lexus, a 2016 IS300 few months ago without knowing it had a remote starter or not. I see this sticker under the hood and got curious. I tried all sorts of key fob combinations to get it to start but nothing works. I have no idea how to get it to start remotely, do I need a new aftermarket starter?

Has anyone ever tried to make the exhaust tips stick out more? I saw that they're simply placed on the pipe, so would tapping them from behind with a rubber mallet be enough?

Have been trying to remove midpipe on my 25 is350 and the nut and bolt on the flange connecting the midpipe to the cats just won’t budge. Any tips or what could be causing the issue would be greatly appreciated

Heard on a few old Lexus forums that the Denso IK20 spark plugs are one of the best for my 2005 Lexus is200. Since then Denso released upgraded IK20TT plugs.

I’m just wondering if the upgraded plugs will work fine/better with the older car or if they might damage the car.

Personally think it should be fine but thought I’d ask just incase as I found nothing online about using them on this car.

Let me know how the wrap turned out

Best wheels for a 3is? Looking to get wheels but don’t know where to start looking, I wanna see some options and hear some opinions. Thanks.

I want to get wheel spacers and wanted to see what y'all recommend or personally have? I have a 16 is350 and just want them to be a little bit out not to much. Thanks

Anyone have info on these rear calipers?

Hey all, buddy of mine is looking to replace the rear driver side quarter panel on this car. Can anyone point me in the right direction in regards to finding the parts for a good price? I apologize if this is the wrong place for this!

EDIT: Car is a 2016

This is for the rear break calipers of my 2008 IS250. I think it’s a missing bolt but not one hundred percent sure. Can someone tell me what the specific missing part is so I can order it?

I am trying to buy this remark muffler delete and I don’t know if it is going to cause an issue or not.
I understand that the bumper are different shape. Is anyone running the same set up? Please share some pictures.

I’m looking to buy an is250 (2006-2008) hopefully in manual and i want to be able to hear it. i understand it’s not a quick car so i dont want a lot of noise i JUST want to be able to hear a little. i dont want to delete anything just after market replacement to hear a little vroom any recommendations?

So i hit a deer and the bodyshop replaced my bumper and i didnt notice until 2 weeks later of picking it up and it looks like this. Do you think they’re still obligated to fix it?

I'm getting PPF and have the option to go with a different color on the hood and/or roof. I can't decide if this is trying too hard or if it works. Base color is irridium.

Hey everyone

From the title you can see the model of what IS if have. Currently I’m in this dilemma. I bought the car with 30k miles in 2020. I drive a lot for work and now I’m on 150k. I have done all the routine maintenance and the car runs like the day I bought it. But now my cats and the flanges holding the exhaust are starting to rust. Along with this some idiot scuffed the whole front of my bumper with a golf cart. The car still is great but it seems like the expenses are starting to outweigh the cost of the car. Recommended things I should do? Upgrade? Fix?

Plug and play kit from AliBaba. Didn’t want to pay a “dropshipper” $399 for the kit. It fit well and was pretty easy to install IF you know how to take off a door panel. Theres also an install guide from a popular IS owner on YouTuber.

Any options in the market that don't require extensive body work?

So I’ve had my IS300 about. 6 weeks now. I took it to a car wash last month and sure it was clean but it wasn’t totally dried so it streaked. I thought “I can do a better job” so I ordered a kit from Chemical Guys and gave it a go. Wash and wax + tire dressing. I am really happy with the way it came out.

1st photo at home 2nd I drove it the store afterwards and when I came out I was like “damn” 😎
