While we weren’t fortunate enough to receive a real Altezza on the stateside, Lexus’ version of the IS300 during those years quenched the thirst for many that desired a performance sedan. Combining luxury and performance into a neat package sporting four doors, the IS300 chassis started a new trend in the industry that has carried on for many years. One of the biggest gripes many owners had with the IS300 was its lack of horsepower performance, but the aftermarket jumped on quickly to rectify that situation. Toyomoto out of South Florida was one of those companies, having specialized in Toyota and Lexus performance for many years now. They were one of the first on the market to offer a supercharger solution to the IS300, providing owners the reliability and drivability they demanded while giving them a suitable horsepower upgrade.

This IS300 sports the Toyomoto stage 1 supercharger kit that comes complete with a Rotrex SP32 supercharger and a huge list of Toyomoto goods. Their custom bracket, front mounted intercooler, fuel system, electronics, headers, and y-pipe really opened up this IS300 to tear up the streets. A Carson Tuned exhaust gives everyone on the streets a fair warning that this IS300 is far from stock.

It’s not just the exhaust note that reminds other people that this IS300 is far from stock. Its exterior has been completely revamped but keeping within the classy IS300 body lines. A Full Carisma Top Gun body kit was outfitted first, while a Type II carbon fiber hood was custom painted to really set off the exterior. The lighting was completely overhauled throughout the exterior of the vehicle and a set of 19x8 and 19x10 I-Forged wheels replaced the stockers. Falken’s coveted FK-452 series tires wraps the bling while a set of Rotora big brake kits peek out from behind the spokes.

On the inside of the car, the IS sports plenty of ICE and subtle interior upgrades. It’s time again to check out the photos and see what it’s all about!
