Hey Peppers, For those pesky bumper holes you mentioned, there is another option rather then having your bumper sprayed and cheaper to boot. There are bumper plugs from these guys: http://www.bumperplugs.com/index.php...&product_id=73 Now if you are DIY guy like myself then you can always swing by your local autoparts store or Home Depot and find the appropriate plug yourself and get some factory touchup paint and do it yourself. I'm also in the same boat as I just picked up my IS a few weeks ago and will be doing a tag delete and I'm STILL trying to decide what spacers I should go with. There seems to be varying opinions on what works and I think in the end I'll try a few different sets for the perfect setup that works and then sell the ones I don't use and take the hit... Hope I could help with the plugs option and save you from painting an entire bumper. Joe |

Joe, if you are using a stock wheel setup, I would go with 5 mm in the front, and either 12 or 15 mm in the rear. 12 mm you should be 100% fine with no rubbing. 15 mm you may rub here and there. I have 5 mm, 12 mm, and 15 mm, just depends on what set of rims I have on.

Thanks for the advice! Any chance you have some shots front to back and vice versa of that setup on your car with the stock rims? I would love to see how they "poke" to get an idea before pulling the trigger. Thanks in advance! Joe |

Does anyone even drive their IS in stock mode? i.e. turn on car, put DCT into drive.
I pretty much leave sport and S mode on at all time. The difference between the 3 modes is pretty big in my opinion. Driving my IS in simple drive mode is a completely different experience from Sport+sequential. Can't beat those loud burbles and engine braking when you push that DCT lever to the left with sport mode on. However, in traffic I need to take it out of sequential mode because passengers get nauseous with the constant engine braking and being slapped back into their seat going form S3 to S2. On a side note, after owning the car for 6 months now, I've yet to encounter someone on the road who can keep up with this car (bone stock) what a beast. Things I like: Brutal acceleration in Sport+Sequential Decent ride quality on 18's Comfortable seats Clean looking interior Thick, heavy steering wheel Amazing sound Don't like: Brake calipers look unfinished |

I'd really like to find a way to make "sport" the default.

I thought about the same thing... I have an appointment this weekend to have some coding work done and was going to ask him if that was something possible with coding. I'll let you know what he says... |

I have had my IS for almost a year now and loved every minute of it. So far, I have only upgraded the wheels and I am now interested in adding some performance mods (E.G., FMIC, Oil Cooler, Air Intake, (Cobb, JB4 or Dinan Stage 2), DPs, Charge Pipes, etc.).
For all you experienced modders and experts (I am not)... if you were me and you only had $3k to $5k to spend on performance mods (excluding Brakes) what would you upgrade to (the more specific the better) and in what order? I will not ever track it and it is my daily driver.

no need to get ruffled up my man I do know that it is possible to have the DTC semi-off with coding, not sure about the sport button.
