That 4th picture is of a different car haha. It's definitely a Prestige. You can see that the bumper has no Headlight washers which means the car has Halogens as opposed to HIDs. HIDs came standard on all Sports models. This is further emphasised by the dial on the right hand side of photo 8. This is the headlight leveling adjuster than only halogen models come with. HID models come with auto headlight leveling. This plus leather seats and no alcantara points toward Prestige. Sports come with 18" wheels and you can see this is running on 16s. No X badge on fender means it's not an X and a Prestige with sunroof option. It's got low kms but it's not worth 15k. You can pick up a much better deal, such as a Sports Luxury, for 15k and these engines last a while. I would check service history as well and revs in casr it has been clocked. Also check if it has cooled seats. Sports models don't have cooled seats and only heated. Sports models also have electronically adjustable steering identified by a little squarish knob on the left side of the steering column just under the left window wiper stalk. If it doesn't have that it means the steering is manually adjusted by a lever on the bottom of the steering column. Sports and Sports Luxury models both have electronically adjustable steering while Prestige is manually adjusted by said lever.

I can get more in for sure. PM me your postcode and I'll quote you.

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Lexus-IS350-2012/SSE-AD-4697882/?Cr=4 Willing to negotiate with forum members provided it goes to a good home Details are all in the ad Also has the RR Racing LCA bushings that I haven't taken off yet which can be included in sale if the price is right. Please PM me if interested

I got a 350 F Sport for sale if you're interested =D It's an MY13 model with the upgraded HDD nav and BT streaming.

Pretty sure the short shifter doesn't really matter about the engine but the gearbox. Though the 1GFE IS200 runs a different box to the 3SGE Altezza box.

RC does look hot but I've been in the back and there's really not much room. You'll be able to fit the child in the back no problems but good luck with the baby seat. ;) new 2017 IS is out and the new facelight RC should be out as an MY18 model either December this year or early next year.

Yeah, I'm not so sure they would release v23 so soon. I was told v22 only got released October last year and October the year before that. So I'm inclined to believe that v23 will be released October this year.

Same generation and therefore it should fit and work. Try comparing part numbers if you are still unsure.

From the Fourth generation XF40 models?

Good write up, you feel any difference or do you think it's placebo?

Is that an MY13 ISF with red seats I see? Let me know when you sell your car haha.

Will you be interested in one of these? It's an OEM part and replaces the stock ash tray compartment up front. I use this as a sunglass compartment in my car. Good place to out your phone and what not too. $100 + shipping

My intake, pieced together from HPS, F Sport, OEM, Blitz. Cannot hear it when cruising. Can hear a great sounding rumble from 3k rpms onwards (opens up at 3.5k). 2IS350 Intake_zpsvioke0lx.mp4

You'd need to spot weld the entire roof haha. Not many people would be keen to swap roofs as it's a big job and expensive. If not installed properly, it could cause big problems.

Items have been shipped. I'll update once they arrive.

2012 and 2011 is exactly the same. Only 2013 is different.

2012 standard shocks are fine. I also recommend MCA Blues for around $1500. They're very comfortable and you can leave them at stock height. Call the guys at MCA and tell them how you want the coilovers set up and they'll do it for you.

Inside the centre compartment. You can plug the BlueTrip into the cigarette lighter in there and use a 3.5mm male to male (preferably short) to connect the BlueTrip to the Aux jack.

Yep through the Aux cable using Griffin Bluetrip. Unless you of course have an MY13 which comes factory with A2DP Streaming.

I heard that once programmed the Smart Keys can't be reprogrammed to another key. You have to buy a *NEW* unprogrammed key to have it programmed to your car.

The Griffin isn't too bad, I use my own equalizer on my Xperia Z5 Compact. Only thing I found annoying was that the volume had to be jacked up since the AUX connection wasn't that great

I used to use the Griffin Bluetrip coupled with a FiiO L8 or L17. Best solution in my opinion as it takes up minimal space and doesn't interfere with OEM bluetooth as long as you set it music streaming only. Actually got a brand new device and cable recently

Bad news... My supplier has informed me that they were only able to get 1 of the compartments in. Toyota has had a manufacturing issue and could not supply the other 3. They estimate that it will take around a month for the rest of the order to come through. If you guys are happy to wait a month then I'll put the order through. If not I'll just cancel... The steering dampers have no issue so no worries there.

Put the order through and I should have the shipment by mid next week. For those you haven't please PM me your details for shipping (for interstate buyers) and your number (for local) to arrange pickup/installation/shipping.

I'm going to get 5 compartments and 5 steering dampers in I'll post up details soon
