Wow this is very cheap for what the car is. SOMEONE BUY IT.

Like I CU2 said only option is to take speedo out and either take off the AFS LED light or just tape it up. earlier models had AFS but the newer models due to the LED do not support this function. I also have a set of bulbs for sale if you're interested. They're the genuine OSRAM Cool Blue Intense Xenarc 5000k bulbs imported from V-Leds in the US.

To answer all the questions here... The only F Sport style sports grilles you can get are the replicas made for the 08 models off on eBay. These aren't compatible with the sports luxury PCS system and there is no 06-08 sports grilles that are compatible with these grilles. You would either have to sacrifice the PCS system (not recommended) or just stick with the grille. And no the ISF grille cannot be modded to fir the 06 models even though they are PCS compatible. What you could try is buy the grille from eBay and take careful measurements to custom fit the PCS badge onto the F Sport grille. This is probably the only way you could go about in doing this. For the 2013 model you can simple just buy a Genuine F Sport grille for your car provided yours is just the luxury model and not the Sports Luxury as the F Sport models don't come with PCS and does not support the system. But as above you could probably buy the grille and retrofit the badge onto it. However, I really wouldn't recommend cutting a genuine one as it is pretty pricey.

The gear changes for the IS250 and the ISF are very similar up until 6th gear. The IS350 though has an even shorter ratio. But for OPs question then I'm not aware of any ring or piston you're looking for but you can always check.

I found that the ISF has a very similar/almost the same gear ratio to the IS350(which is 4.1) or IS250(which is 3.9) up to 6th gear. The reason why the ISF has a low gear ratio (of about 3.2 I think) is because it has the extra 2 gears on top for highway cruising. When I was comparing gear changes on road from 1-6 with my brother's ISF they were pretty similar.

Getting Windows Re-Tinted

I would recommend reflect effect at North Parramatta as he is one of our forum vendors. He'll do you a good price on it. Darkest legal is 35% but I personally have 15% on my car without any troubles in the 2 and half years I've had it. And no the tint won't effect your satnav -
Up for sale is a pair of Osram Xenarc CBI Intense at 5000k temperature. I bought these about 6 months ago from the states for a HID project for my car but never got around to finishing it. Now I'm selling my car and these are just lying around. They have only been used for about a minute each just to test if they worked properly. Never been in the car. Costed me around $240 shipped from the V-Leds in the states. http://www.vleds.com/d4s-66440-6k.html Direct fit for the 06-13 IS250/350 and 14+ IS250/300h/350 with HID (Non-LED lights) and any other car that uses D4S bulbs. $150 pickup from Seven Hills or I can arrange a meeting. Will also be taking them to the meet this Saturday on the 6th of December if anyone is interested. Reasonable offers accepted. PM for details or message on 0401 824 675 Thanks.

Interrior Lights Replacing
plankton007 replied to Karni's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 / Toyota Altezza Club
Hey mate http://my.is/forums/f64/is300-bulb-sizes-340791/ Google is your best friend. If you just type on eBay or something similar the sizes of these bulbs with LED you should be able to find most of them. I personally only use LEDs from vleds.com. Although they are much more expensive than the typical eBay ones I have never had problems with them for the year and a half I've had them. They're really bright and they have one of the best white LEDs on the market (eBay whites give off an ugly blue tinge which I don't like). Vleds also have red, blue, orange, green bulbs. -
If you're changing one shock I would recommend replacing all as it is a good indication that they're all starting to die. SL shocks are the same as the prestige shocks unless someone can chime. Never tried to try the f sport rear and sl fronts but I would recommend keeping uniform shocks all around. I may have a set of 2011 IS350 Sports Luxury shocks lying around somewhere if you're interested.

Hello To All - Can You Please Tell Me What Car This Is?

Pretty sure you'll have to import the parts from the states unless there's a certified five axis dealer in Aus. -
Just Bought An Is200! Mods?
plankton007 replied to Karni's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 / Toyota Altezza Club
If you're going for cosmetics I would recommend the legana kit and some yellow fogs. A small duck spoiler should be nice and cosmetics is all you're going to get with this car. Unless you swap the engine over you won't be able to get too much power from the 1gfe. I know that some people on here have turbo charged theirs but a 3sge or even a 2jzge (non turbo) swap and turbo will yield much better results. But I digress Legana kit =D on black would look hot. You might want to look into a genuine altezza grille as well. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341/dh-all-the-way/Lexus%20IS200%20Sport/614403_283855268393985_435665025_o.jpg You can also try the genuine altezza blacked out headlights http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/toyota-japan-oem-altezza-headlight-black-housing-with-blue-tint-reflector -
