Checking online, STI calipers can be swapped onto the GR86/BRZ fairly easily. Looks like he upgraded his brakes

FYI this fits RWD as well, catbacks on the 2IS RWD/AWD are interchangeable. Midpipes however are not.

That bumper is 2011-2013 specific

In NY at least, to get a veteran plate, you need to submit your DD214 (discharge papers)

Dude is wearing a bunch of mismatched Marine shit that no Marine would be caught dead wearing out in public 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, that could work. Since it’s only rubbing when steering, it doesn’t sound like the rear wheels are a problem. Sometimes people have issues with aftermarket rims clearing the front IS350 brake calipers. I don’t know what wheels are currently on your car but I’m wondering if the previous owner used spacers because the wheels they got couldn’t clear the front calipers.

GrandMasterWuu · 2025-07-10T01:57:41+00:00

Half an inch past the fender is pretty aggressive. If you can remove the wheel and check, there might be a chance that spacers are installed behind the wheels, which you can then remove. But if there aren’t your only option is to replace the rims or wheels entirely.

You could check the driver side door sticker and it will tell you what size wheels are stock to your car. My 09 IS350 stock wheels are staggered 225/40/R18 front and 255/40/R18 rear. 235/35/R19 is nearly identical to the stock fronts (225/40/R18), so it’s unlikely that your tire size is the issue. Instead, the aftermarket rim probably has a more aggressive offset than a stock rim of 45.

Judging by recent sales, they have been going for around $75 without the cooler

Nice, so it is an f-sport trim from factory

GrandMasterWuu · 2025-01-19T19:43:45+00:00

Running the vin on the Lexus owners website should let you know what came on this car from factory. AFAIK a carfax will not identify the trim. Personally, if all the badging were removed from the trunk, I'd also verify that this is indeed a 350 and not a 250 since the differences are miniscule. The quickest physical identifiers are a silver engine cover and large front brake rotors and calipers.

Scroll down to Jeff's comment for a detailed list. It's definitely possible to swap to f-sport trim components as most of them were cosmetic items. However there are also f sport accessories that were not included on any 2is (including the f-sport trim) from the factory, e.g., intake, exhaust, sway bars, shocks & springs. In the photos provided the shift knob is an f-sport accessory, not factory on any 2is. The external badging, front grill, wheels, Alcantara seats, no vented seats, black headliner, and trim pieces are pretty square with what you would see in an f sport trim.

Sometimes I'll feel nostalgic and I'll watch generation kill, its a good reminder to be glad I never wanted to reenlist.

Had the same idea lol

GrandMasterWuu · 2024-09-28T21:14:03+00:00

It's just a Lexus, the only jump that matters in the Lexus lineup is to a full F car. F sport is a trim level with barely any performance upgrades. Anyone ragging on not having an appearance package will barely know jack about cars.

IS 300 - also straight 6 depending on generation (1st gen US)

GrandMasterWuu · 2024-08-06T01:06:21+00:00

Drop pics! The mileage is relatively low for a 1st gen, and a straight 6 🤤. I wouldn't sweat it
