The Lexus IS 350 already offers some great upgrades to the model’s introductory trim level, the IS 300. However, you can upgrade the 2020 vehicle even further by opting for the F Sport trim, choosing some standalone additions, such as all-wheel drive, or adding some aftermarket mods. For 2021 and 2022 models, the F Sport trim comes standard on all IS 350s.

With so many upgrades, trim levels, and DIY modifications to choose from—and especially with year-after-year changes to Lexus’ offerings—building a custom car can get quite confusing. Fortunately, we've compiled this handy guide to help simplify your options.

How to customize your IS 350 to save money

In general, customizing your vehicle will cost you extra cash.

For example, upgrading from the introductory

IS 300

to the IS 350 F Sport already raises your vehicle’s price from $39,850 to $44,275. Additional optional add-ons can further increase that price by thousands of dollars.

The dealership isn’t the only place you’ll see numbers go up—you’ll also drive up your insurance premium, as more advanced, custom features are more expensive to repair or replace.

Fortunately, a few custom options can actually save you some money. Here are some customizations to carefully consider:

Tires—Wheel size and tire type can have a big effect on your vehicle’s fuel economy. The F Sport package comes with unique 19-inch rims and larger rear tires, but consider doing some research regarding the best tires for saving on gas.

Cold air intake—Adding a cold air intake helps make your engine more efficient, netting you more power and better fuel economy. Fortunately, this option is included on the IS 350 F Sport, making this more expensive trim level worth it.

Suspension—Upgraded suspension packages increase your vehicle's stability, strength, and smoothness, thus increasing its overall fuel economy. Choosing the Dynamic Handling Package will add on an adaptive suspension system to your IS 350.

The best Lexus IS 350 F Sport mods

If the options offered by Lexus aren’t custom enough for you, consider making some aftermarket mods. Here are some of our suggestions:

Tires

The type of tires that work best for your vehicle will depend greatly on where you live and what you use your vehicle for. For example, adding snow or winter tires during colder months is a great idea for anyone who lives in an icy climate. Or, consider highway tires if you plan to do lots of distance driving.

Spoiler

Adding a spoiler to your sedan doesn’t just up its style—it also makes it more aerodynamic, thus creating better airflow and increasing the car’s grip on the road, and increasing your car’s braking stability.

Custom paint jobs

The Lexus IS 350 F Sport comes in a variety of colors, including shades of blue, white, silver, gray, red, and black. To make your car stand out from the rest, a custom paint job is a relatively simple mod that can have a big impact on aesthetics.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
