Hi all, I’m chasing a set of genuine RCF, GSF or LC500 wheel set in good prestine condition with no curb rash, scratches/scuffs or other damage. DM me what you may have for sale. I am on the Gold Coast and may need freight too. Thanks in advance Cheers Mike

Hi Do you still have RCF wheels for sale?

This looks pretty good and a really good price too! Are you thinking of buying and installing it? Its There is a seller on gumtree selling these similar Tesla style screens (but possibly from another manufacturer and brand) fully installed. I was quoted over $1700 plus extra for Apple Car Play (wifi and internet capability) and full integration with OEM navigation and audio system. Looks almost like an OEM install which I like

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading the wheels on my SC430 to the 19" RCF Wheel set. Anyone know if this may fit the car? Thanks in advance Cheers, Mike

JayLexin are you able to email me pictures, description of condition and price? Also where are you located?

Hi are these still available? Any damage (curb rash), scratches, dents, stone chips? Also would you ship and are you negotiable on price?

Hey Twintim88, Just ordered a new GPS DVD to upgrade the maps not to replace the entire Builtin GPS unit so unfortunately i won't be able to help you in this area. If you were wanting the most recent map upgrades though - Whereis V17 you can download a back up copy via the Lexus Owner Club post below: http://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9997&st=15 Hope this helps! Cheers, Mike

Hi GGPIS300 This is awesome thanks for the detailed instructions - I'll give this a try and let you know how I go! Thanks once again. Cheers, Mike

Hi Guys, Anyone know the instructions on replacing the GPS DVD on the inbuilt GPS on an IS300? Is it difficult? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Mike

Looking good so far, not a fan of the chrome strip on the trunk though. Any plans to lower it? Thanks for your feedback mate. I try to match the chrome with my W204...and It's lowered with the BC CoilOvers --> 1 Finger to be exact... I like the ISF spoiler! Not a fan of smoking lights or angel eyes though - maybe HID fogs to match the headlights? I would leave the rims as well, a bit of contrast is good - all my opinion of course! Damn Mike, your car looks great! Loving the carbon engine cover, ISF wheels and illuminated scuff plates - any more mods in the near future? Hey Mike, just wondring where did you purchase your F-Sport Intake? so far I only know you can get it from Sewell but the shipping cost is very dear....Anybody know where to get it cheaper? Hey Kidd, Yeah Sewell is pretty expensive for their Shipping Costs. They are a good dealership and very reputible especially with the technical expertise they have in modifying Lexus Vehicles and they probably have the best range of Lexus Parts on the Internet however you definitely pay for it. All the F-Sports Parts I have on my car was sourced from Lexus of Miami directly. The internet parts manager is a guy named Steve and he is pretty easy to deal with. With the Aussie dollar so strong at the moment it's probably a great time to import your own parts. Unfortunately shipping is always a bit of a killer though as it's pretty expensive however I find if you buy a few parts all at once then it works out economical. For the Exhaust I got it for $1200 USD. When the parts arrive in Australia you will also have to pay 5% import duty and 10% GST on top. I had also bought the F-Sport Air Intake and Spring however unfortunately the dealer sent me the wrong set suitable for the GS not the IS and I had to send it back. It was a shame as I really wanted to lower the car.

Damn Mike, your car looks great! Loving the carbon engine cover, ISF wheels and illuminated scuff plates - any more mods in the near future? Thanks Terry! Yeah still a few mods I'm currently thinking about! I was considering the ISF Rear Spoiler, the ISF Brake Set and possibly LED upgrades available from Japan through Junack. They look great and certainly are direct replacement and plug and play of the OEM Equipment. Unless it looks like factory I would definitely not consider it as it would cheapen the look of the car. I was also thinking of installing a "chip" which I have been told gives you alot more throttle response from the factory settings. A good friend of mine has said that I'm spending so much money and completely styling my IS250 to look like an ISF.....he said I should probably just get a used ISF and be done with it! haha...maybe he is right as you could pick up near new second hand ISF's now for around the $90K mark...which considering how much I paid for my IS250 brand new and all the upgrades, I've probably spent close to that now. I suppose it's a passion and alot of fun and even if I had an ISF I think I would continue to mod it also! What about you? Any more mods to come for your car??

Hey Mike, Thanks for the comments! To answer your question yes you certainly do feel a difference with the F-Sport performance upgrades. I definitely feel that the car is much more responsive compared to the stock set up plus you have a nice roar from the intake and exhaust when you are doing some spirited driving! Definitely makes the car sound much better and personally I would not go back to stock as the IS250 just lacked character as it was just way too quiet. Some people perfer that I suppose but each to their own. All the F-Sports Parts I sourced from Lexus of Miami directly.

Unfortunately shipping is a bit of a killer though as it's pretty expensive however I find if you buy a few parts all at once then it works out economical. For the Exhaust I got it for $1200 USD and Intake was $315 USD and shipping came to about $800 USD through FedEx - When the parts arrived you will also have to pay 5% import duty and 10% GST on top. I had also bought the F-Sport Spring Set for $285 USD however unfortunately the dealer sent me the wrong set suitable for the GS not the IS and I had to send it back. It was a shame as I really wanted to lower the car. Once the parts arrived I got the local Lexus Dealer here in Southport to install it all which cost about $185 dollars in total which was reasonable. I got a hire car with that and they also washed and vacuumed my car. If I had the Spring Set installed - they quoted me about $700 dollars just for that as they have to unbolt & remove the entire suspension unit and completely rebuild the set with the replacement/installation of the new springs. You then also need to realign everything to ensure that the toe and camber is correct for the lowered stance.
