Lexus IS300 TURbo Kit
The Lexus IS300 has struck a chord with savvy enthusiasts who recognize the car’s intoxicating blend of luxury appointments, seductive styling and a robust suspension. There has also been a lot of action under the hood with a multitude of turbo kits, supercharger setups and engine swaps unleashed on the Lexus.
The car was up and running and was driven to Vegas, but there could be no big boosting because tuning had yet to be completed. The tuning strategy uses a HKS F-CON V Pro as the centerpiece. The problem? This unit is so new no shops had the software needed to properly program the unit. HKS manager of research and development, Jon Kuroyama, made a special house call to Area 51. The results of this visit will be outlined in a future tuning article.
If you are going to go pure Altezza, it’s wise to look the part. Oscar elected to mix and match J-spec parts along with some home-grown pieces to attain the ultimate in VIP sedan style.
At the nose, an Altezza grille was an obvious call but the crazy Top Secret G-Force front bumper cover really adds an aggressive aura to the Lexus.
Down the side are Wald fender flares, Super VIP side skirts and some absolutely dope APR carbon-fiber side mirrors. Deuce Kustoms grafted on the body parts and sprayed the IS300 gold. Deuce had to rework the front flares so they would integrate with the Top Secret nosepiece and they pulled it off nicely.
At the rear, 3 inches were taken out of the inner fender to accommodate the beefy Toyo tires. A combination of 18×10 Volk Racing GT-N wheels and 255/35ZR-18 tires provide the boosted hybrid Lexus with a big traction patch. Up front, the car runs 225/35s wrapped around 18×8 GT-Ns.
