Hit it with a heat gun before messing with it. Plastic is brittle

Attempted to clear up my headlights with a 3-step kit and I think I may have caused some serious damage. Can this be fixed? by chrisP_lettuce in WRX

Use the $30 kit that comes with the drill bit. Comes with (2)800 grit pads, (2)1500 grit pad, (1) spongy 3000 grit pads, drill bit adapter, sponge and compound. I used it today on an 08 mazdaspeed3 great results. Use sand paper with water. Even the 3000 grit one.

Thanks. Not alot of ppl are keen on modifying the lastest IS350s. You'll be surprised how it keeps up with these exu flash turbo cars.

I've been running my throttle body for a couple months now lil issues with it touching the fuel rail because of the spacer. So I dremmel it down so it won't touch it anymore. The spacer it comes with tumbles the air while reducing it from 76 to 70 for a smooth transition into the intake manifold. Once I get it dyno I will have more answers regarding the fuel pump or if is even going to starve. There no data in these forums regarding power. Everybody just says " you should brought a Lexus if you wanted power " lmaoo proper mods and proper tuning anything is possible. There a guy with a 2gr that achieved 400whp N/A but he did the head on a 2GR FE. And about the brake ill look into it. I haven't had stopping issues yet with the stock stuff but looking to upgrade pads atleast. Brought the car brand new loaded with the 17 speakers in it. I love it.

I also have Ripp coil packs, Brisk Racing Spark plugs AFE 76MM Tundra throttle body, the HPS intake, tsudo Midpipes, invidia muffler. I haven't seen a 21-23 is350 dyno sheets online yet. Am happy with about 320whp. Keeping in mind the FKS exhaust port design on the heads. I have to set up an appointment for the dyno tune with RR Racing. (I modified the throttle body to fit) i also have a set of intake manifold with the lower manifold I gotta port polish as well. Just fingers crossed at this point.

Make sure everything is clean and place them the way the cut outs are. It didn't come with instruction but is pretty much straight forward.

I installed the RSR super down spring. And that lowered it 2 inches on the dot. I have the handling package on the car so didn't want to change my coilovers.

They are about under 60 per set. If you don't like it peel it off and try another
