Nice steering wheel. 

Mines tired, and needs replacing. Does this come with a flat bottom?

Sounds very refined compared to most aftermarket intakes.

It's coupled with the F Sport lower box and it sounds very deep and aggressive when it's on

Is it deeper and/or louder than the F-sport intake?

It combines the deep tone of the F Sport intake with the refinement of the sound generator.

The HPS tube is also considerably wider than the F Sport allowing for more air.

So yes it is louder I believe and deeper.

Great thing about it though is that it doesn't come on until after 3.5k rpms or under full acceleration.

Whilst normal driving it's like it's not even there.

Nice. Might look into it.

When you say "sound generator". Are you referring to the intake box that the F-sport intake comes with?

By Sound generator I'm reffering to this

These are only found in the newer RC, GS, IS in the F Sport models only.

Yes they are quite pricey but I purchased them brand new.

If you can find any second hand set from a Sports Luxury they should fit straight in.

I've heard that some models need some wiring to make work but mine was plug and play

was this custom make?
Where did you get it from?
Trying to do my research - also where did you get the control surrounds wrapped? Real carbon or just vynil?

Just got these and will be installing them with the FIGs LCAs once they come.

Interesting. What are those, and how does this affect the handling?

These in conjunction with the LCA from FIGs tightens up the front end while also joining together the two LCAs and bolting them down onto the chassis stronger than the OEM one does. Apparently it works really well with the F Sport Rear chassis brace.

In the end though, coilovers will give you the best upgrade in terms of handling. These will only spice things up a bit.

Try read up Redspencer's IS350 track build on the Clublexus forums in the US. He gives a good review on them.

I'll be doing a review once I get my LCAs installed first then installing these after to see if they make a difference.

Finally got the horizontal f sport badges on eBay for about $4 each to cover the holes from the old blinkers.. They are replica badges but still look good for the price

They also have beveled/3d edges like OEM, here's a closeup:image.jpg

Installed these today and can definitely say the front end has improved in responsiveness even with the OEM bushings.

Looking forward to installing the FIGs LCAs.

heres my contribution: a few years back i was went to japan for a holiday, and as any car enthuasist would do, i went to superautobacs. for those that dont know, superautobacs is kind of like a mega supercheat auto, with entire isles dedicated to single products, eg: car refreshner

anyways, back then i had a 98 TT Supra so i bought some goodies for it, including a TRD fuel cap, which is literally a cover that sits on your current fuel cap, just a dress up really. anyway, because it sits ontop of your current fuel cap, the way the Supra was designed, you couldnt end up closing the fuel lid properley. So i just ended up storing it and forgot about it. Was doing some spring cleaning recently and thought for a lol see if it fits on the IS350, and it does!

^ nice wheels

recently swapped my front grille "L" emblem with a new one, since mine was starting to get oxidised/yellowish at the top due to direct sunlight/age.

i dont mind the "hybrid" blue backing either.

The emblem only fits grilles with the radar type emblems:IMG_5541.jpg

First start up

Nice exhaust. Not many people have this but i like how it comes complete with midpipe etc.

From some research apparently this exhaust doesn't drone or is very minimal.

Can you confirm this?
