I've had my Mercury Metallic F since last saturday. There's a thread here on my exhaust mod. I don't think I've been here long enough to welcome you, but I'll say welcome aboard anyway.

Greetings, fellow IS-F lovers!
Hello everyone! It's a pleasure to be part of a group that shares the same love! I just bought my black IS-F on black Friday, and I'm interested to see the modifications you did on yours.

Welcome to ALL of the new guys and gals here! I've >
had my Black/Black IS-F since the end of January and am still loving it ! The only "mods" I've done to date are to replace the OEM air filter with an Amsoil one, disconnected the secondary intake vaccum hose so that the intake remains open all the time and I had the dealership install the F-Sport 19mm rear anti-sway bar. oh, I did tint my windows with 70% sides and back.
Suggestion if I may, take your time and really learn how to use the transmission in all of it's various modes. That is what took me the longest to understand and get down. The car will do a lot more then you think if you allow it or use it within the design peramiters

Welcom!
Best tranny combo IMO is sport and manual shifts at 5K, that will get you up to 5500 before it shifts. For now leaving trac on. Not sure the SC will be worth it until you hit the warrantee mark. Have fun and stay away from the police if possible

Welcome to the site!! Congrats on your purchase!
No one has any idea bout a supercharger yet. There was a Greddy one that appeared at the SEMA show in November but since that, no one has heard anything official about R&D or release dates. There is also a rumor that Lexus will come out with one for the F if the demand is large enough (there is a thread on here about it). I haven't heard anything about that in quite a while.
The only real mods your going to get are going to be an exhaust and intake from SRT (definitely want to search this forum before doing that), a Joe-Z exhaust, a Joe-Z intake that should be released soon and cosmetic mods. There is also a company that is working to tune the Lexus IS-F ECU for a reflash. There will be more info about that soon. If you need any websites or want to look at any cosmetic mods, let me know and I'll give you some sites as well as email addresses.
Like it was said before though, take your time with the car and get to know it. It is quite an amazing car from the factory so you might only want to make a few changes. Welcome again and congrats
