[XxModernHackerxX]

nice car

[spamishere]

[DEVONSHEA123]

u should get a new exuaset

[bacabozaa]

a wide body from the back from the back more air scoops on the hood and a side exhaust like the one on the viper

[meade916]

@bacabozaa uhhhhhhhh NO. LOL

[navy20018]

is4

[Sboy734]

you should show that honda accord that barely shows there if its still around .

[Snowpi21]

Nice Ride, well def. exhaust. you cant have an IS-F n not be heard, then itll just seem like u have a regular is250 or somthn lol

u can drop it later, the exhaust is def a first,

i know u dont take suggestions but "for a classy touch"

recomend this:

on the side skirts put l.e.d lights that dim in n out like dome lights every time u open the door, a classy touch for that car ;)

[unregisteredprod]

NICE!!! ... i want to see it when its lowwwww!

[Guilly000]

Quit being such a dick to people, they're only giving you suggestions. Get off your period :)

[meade916]

@Guilly000 i dont take suggestions.

[mikeyfehr]

@meade916 then you shouldnt have asked us to help you out? 0:20 ?

[meade916]

@mikeyfehr again, look at the date. You aren't that dumb are you?

[mikeyfehr]

@meade916 yea i see the date. now look in the mirror.you arent that ugly are you? oh wait you are..hahHAHAHAHHAhAHAHHAhAHHA

[meade916]

@mikeyfehr i may be ugly to you which is fine, you are a pimply faced little boy with a smart mouth. As long as your MOTHER doesnt think im ugly, we are all good. I did that bitch in my back seat just last night.

[meade916]

@mikeyfehr holy shit, is that you with those goofy fucking glasses trying to sing? How the HELL do i always get lured into arguing with little string bean punks like you. I call you pimply faced little boy before i even know who you are and then i look at your page........and there it is. LOL. GOD DAMN. 

[eldonocampos]

simplicity is beauty...... just add some minor improvements ex. neon lights... L.E.D. lights.. this car is already sick, man.. and also they are correct make it fast....

also f u like carbon fiber..... specially the hood and mirrors... then paint, man.... stripe....

[meade916]

@eldonocampos no thanks on the Neons lol - and no thanks on the CF hood and mirrors. Sounds tacky as hell. Its fine the way it is and its ALREADY fast.

[talaaaaaal]

drop + chrome finish Exhaust .. no need to change the pipes .. just the exhaust tail .. n some nighty blue touches man ..

[meade916]

@talaaaaaal FYI: this video is 9 months old 

[8990Robert]

i wish i could make my car look like that! i have a 2006 is 250, any recommendations on what i can change on my car for a small amount of money? right now its all stock, black paint.

[AFunyun]

goddamn that's sexy

[thechucknorrisraper]

its sounds nice already give it some coilovers

[meade916]

@thechucknorrisraper did you look at the date before you made this comment bro? lol

[thechucknorrisraper]

@meade916 nope lol

[ashtonryan93]

why you guys replying to meade ? for the grammer error of the 'er' ? its obvious that the ChrispyArts wrote wrongly ...

[ChrispyArts]

who cares how it looks. make it fast.

[meade916]

@ChrispyArts its already fast.

[ChrispyArts]

@meade916 faster*



[GrayHatLinux]

@meade916 Make it fast-er. :P

[2000goudaman]

youve got sum fucking style man

[xblade012]

I LOVE YOU!!

[PAPERSCHOOL]

why is this guy such an asshole when he responds to comments. Hey dude, only women get pissed off that quicly.

[meade916]

@PAPERSCHOOL why are you such a coward? only a coward calls another man an asshole on the internet knowing full well there is no consequences. How shameful is that.  Do it here, where you are safe. What a loser.

[WeTrippyMane]

they need to have your shop in a need for speed game lol, sick man, keep the videos coming

[meade916]

@WeTrippyMane thanks man!!

[MC952010]

Sweet car

[Optgemakske]

So you really think you have a better idea for this exhaust then the engineers at Lexus? man, people like you should build there own cars!

[meade916]

@LiqeeD idiot...point blank. 

[franchi123]

are you stoned ? ;)

nice LEX :)

[AyeSoFly]

DROP IT!!!!!!!!!!

[xFanTa801]

I think you should go with the exhaust, your drop is pretty good where its at, but i think you could wait on that.

[reemer911]

leave it as it is fresh enough all ready maybe tint the tail lights

[alexis81222]

youshould put bigger rims

[meade916]

@alexis81222 no i shouldnt.

[alexis81222]

@meade916 i was just saying

[MikeW259]

@meade916 Blackout the taillights with VHT...

Black out the red portions, leave the clear areas clear...Would look pretty good.

Invest in a sway bar kit(Front and rear) as well as anti roll bars, Dyno tune, Paint the front lexus emblem black, Sport seats in Black and blue(Go somewhere where you can sit in one and see if you like it...then order online. I recommend Bride), Nardi Quick Release + 330mm wheel, and maybe a good set of headers(If you haven't already).

Nice car btw. Looks mean.

[meade916]

@MikeW259 no thanks on all that. I dont really need any help here, i got it LOL ......but thanks anyway :)

[MikeW259]

@meade916 aight man. You should get some footage of you running an autocross event in that beast though :)

Take it easy man...ENJOY THE CAR. Cause you've earned it. ;)

[pepperwatson831]

@alexis81222 nope wheels already has a stagger fit any bigger would look wrong 

[MyNamWat]

also you need maybe a 3 inch drop

[MyNamWat]

a nice flow master muffler would sound great with an echo tip.

[aycrowd101]

Drop that bad boy ahha

[Al13nwar3z]

Hey meade, first of all i've been following your vids for quite some time now and you've made amazing progress and got the hottest audio setups and a nice car/s, so keep it up! ^^. Also, have you ever considered adding a jap car to your collection? something like a Nissan Silvia S13/S14/S15? or Mazda RX7? I understand it might not be for you, but when you have a moment, look at tuning companies such as Top Secret, RE Amemiya, Mines, SumoPower and Blitz to appreciate the type of builds they have.

[sk8ter12585]

get a cherry bomb extreme it would be perfict

[meade916]

@sk8ter12585 perfect for a rusty old redneck pickup truck......not an ISF. Sorry hahah jesus...

[yamahamadman23]

drop

[bluebery89]

drop IT!!!!



[ICYASIAN95]

i think the stock wheels on the car looks great

[ang3lb3ar]

@meade916 Hes mad cause hes not makeing it big like you bro.

[MsJurghen]

I would like to buy this ISF ! How Much ?

[lazarotheboss123]

Coilover Drop

[MrRagnello17]

Dude that thing looks so sick the way it is now. This is my first time watching your videos. This is awesome. If you did this work yourself then keep it up dude. This thing i so clean. If I had the money I would do the same exact thing. AWESOME.

[swaggsoserious1]

Nice whip you got the car I want next. Look like we on same page. I got the Tahoe now doing custom work on now. Wouldn't mind if you checked it out and maybe gave some direction on how is looks. Thanks for ya time homie!

[yummychocolate6]

how much it cost for all the coil overs

[meade916]

@fightclub556 whats it matter? i drive it every day......and this isnt 1982 , all the thieves dont have the ultimate hook up at the dmv anymore lol

[hernandadmx]

Get an exhaust. a good one full Cat-back. Don't worry about the Fender Gap just save up and do that last, Your car has a really good OEM suspension

[meade916]

@hernandadmx to late, i already ripped all that OEM suspension shit out....i dropped it months ago and already did the exhause soon after. Thanks anyway lol

[hernandadmx]

@meade916 Sick Car though.

[AweSomo84]

aah now i see and your right the silver edge doesnt do his job on your car . Good call

[AweSomo84]

aah now i see and your right the silver edge doesnt do his job on your car . Good call

[crrazyy]

if he adds bass, you wont hear the exhaust

[amarcus14291]

adjustable coilovers FTW

[gavinboser]

@ComedyPuff lol you must be from a small redneck community, those are the only ppl that put cherrybomb glasspacks on their early 90's chevy's

[suprmacdaddy]

I say paint some flames on it to make it faster

[Araziaaa]

Sexy car. Sexy.

[Import2ner36]

Exhaust firs man. The car looks very aggressive stance wise already.

[se46m3an]

in my opinion i think you should get the drop then remove your resonators for cheap until you get a exhaust system. i had my resonators on my 98 gs400 removed and it was pretty good, anyways clean whip.but you made your desicion and cant wait to see the result. and F*** the haters on here man your riding with class style and speed, people saying the stocks looked better are dumb and know nothing bout contrast. dumb kids,. 5***** to the car and good choice on the car. cant wait for new vid

[billyroe]

I love how im watching this now after your shit sounds nice as fuck and is clean as fuck.

[TigerDaSactownSavage]

@ComedyPuff Cherybomb Glasspacks are ricey..... If anything a electric cutout would sound sick

[randkprouductions]

LOL now you have both.

[DmpPure]

@meade916 do you do interior work by any chances? just asking

[DonLoanz]

yo steve you putting a system in the car ? i mean you always have some sounds !

[DDISM]

EXHAUST  HOMIE

[airsoftkid1996]

Yo I would have hooked that shit up with some Borlas. There expensive though. But I'm sure it would be worth it.

[ISAblood]

get a exhaust

[Slapin916]

Damn It Steve. Thats a SEXY car. Im a BMW fan but. SHiT i would choose The ISF over M3. Badass car man. Good stuff.

[vietling]

drop it thats all you need the exhust it no need for you right now i think

[MegaDuce23]

man drop that bitch

[ASG1395]

do the drop the exhaust is really nice lookin already for now

[pinpoint45]

well the car sounds sick as is so good choice on the drop lol.

[enigma1437]

You should check out HKS SSM exhaust, personally i think it sound way better then joe Z, It would make your ride sound like a beast! =) Good luck

[preciseaudio]

Drop it Steve. Do the coil overs. You're right, you've already got speed. Get rid of that gap.....Take care.

[donkeykong8u]

cut the springs n the exhaust ;) bahaha jk lol

[ItalianStallionLouie]

Although you already made your decision ill put in my bit,

I would of gone for the exhaust because yeah you can lower the car but giving the car a whole new feature, (the noise it makes) will give you so much more satisfaction to drive than to see it a bit lower... I mean it looks bad ass already but still would have gone with the exhaust.

[meade916]

@ComedyPuff ehhhhhhhh NO. lol.

[sepiro666]

I think you should do it your way Steve or it wouldnt be Steve Meade Designs LOL right on bro keep up the good work like all your vids

[slopezorg]

Have you thought of using a QTP Y Pipe & Electronic - Exhaust Cut Out?

Then you can get the last horsepower when you want them, but still have the option for a quiet exhaust.

200$ upgrade with all the benefits

Just google it :)

[slopezorg]

@slopezorg quicktimeperformance (dot) com :)

[EndofDays213]

Also the new headers? With the exhaust

[zrohrback]

Steve just got a white IS250... from the east coast wanna bring a little taste of cali to this boring ass place.... got any ideas what i should start with. Just got 20% tint all the way around...have no beat yet... otherwise stock...

[joannaselk]

Priorities man! ISF already sounds dope & has a ton of GO but that fender gaps gotta go. Thats the one thing i dislike most about the ISF, gap is bigger in the front than the back. DROP IT!!!

[nicholastmhsw]

put a CAI..... u wont regret.....

[shivam220]

think tht makes the isf cool is its exhuast like the diffusers how it is 2 on each side it makes it look sexy! idk steve its ur car and i respect ur choice :P

[moparman2010]

h&r coilovers

[BMOSound]

Have a look at the HKS SSM exhaust (for next month), I think its only the back and center section though.

Search "Lexus ISF Exhaust2.mp4" on youtube for the sound

[has22fas]

Drop it, will look much better, and concentrate on the audio rather then the exhausts? Exhausts look awesome to me. ;)

[yungkidnf]

i say do Stifflers mom first lol

[X94FinestX]

If i were you just throw on the coil overs it will look real nice on the Lexus

[liming5]

SEXY!

[drkmjishin]

i know you went with the coil overs but i just wanted to say you got the sickest cars and you should make a more detailed video of your shop and your cars.

[meade916]

@drkmjishin thanks bro......

[BovartNigga]

TRD or AEM make exhaust systems for Lexus, but I don't know about this model for sure. I'd put a supercharger, CAI, and new exaust before the drop. Speed before looks brah. :P

[meade916]

@BovartNigga but its already faster then 98% of the cars i see on the road on a daily basis.....brah. :P lol :)

[rubennnunez]

Do the drop -_-

[caraudioman16]

*EVERYBODY READ* I saw Steve's Facebook post! He chose the KW V3 coil overs!

[meade916]

@caraudioman16 YEZZZIRRRR

[CaliKidzMusik]

In my opinion your car would look amazing with a drop my uncle has an isf has some iforged wheels with a drop car looks amazing i would go with the drop because the car is fast and .. wouldnt make that much of a difference while if you drop it it would get a better look .. and an exhaust wouldnt becasue people usually look at the car not at the exhaust hope i helped

[evoracer2]

magnaflow...or hell even straight pipe. keep the cats though

[goarch11]

make it the drop

[team3TD]

Drop it Meade :) its a major investment but it will make the car much more agro

[DjMurk27]

drop and electric cutouts : D

[JoeZis350]

Well I guess I am too late to vote..... ~ Joe Z

[ronnie1974]

you have to do the exhaust that's going to sound good i mean come on u have 4 18 in the tahoe u love sound my vote is exhaust

[MrHLEON2]

if you want to spend a lot of money use borla exhaust and or megaflow is cheaper and they both sound great!!

[meade916]

@MrHLEON2 borla makes a axle back - WEAK. Never heard of megaflow. There is a small handful of companies that make what i need for the ISF and "megaflow" isnt one of them im sure LOL. I think i am leaning towards ISSforged.

[MrHLEON2]

@meade916 meade is your car ..sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o!!!

[MrHLEON2]

@meade916 nicee choice bro!!

[xXCREEKSTARXx]

Mahnaflow exhaust should sound nice on it :D

[meade916]

@xXCREEKSTARXx never heard of mahnaflow....but im positive they make nothing for my ISF unless you are talking about a muffler....im replacing the entire system not just a muffler bro. thanks anyway!

[xXCREEKSTARXx]

@meade916

i meant Magnaflow^^

i thought magnaflow also makes complete systems....but even with only the muffler it will sound deep and loud :D

[1993ni]

@meade916 I believe he is thinking of a Magnaflow exhaust

[organica850]

Bags!

[meade916]

@organica850 i already own 2 bagged vehicles....i think i will pass on that for the F bro.



[rv3mrazr]

that's CLEAN man... Nice. I like it...

[xXxXxusaxXxXx]

drop it first cause you have the power make it handle well too!

[esskater862]

Dude do you just buy new cars every week every time i look at your vids you have a new car or truck(f150)

[xXxXxusaxXxXx]

@esskater862 hes been had the f150

[silverman77777]

Personally I would say go with the exhaust first just because I'm not quire sure how the car would look after the droop, because I think It's already bad ass as is.However, i'm sure whichever choice you go with will only make your ride more BA :)

[meade916]

@silverman77777 the car will look sick as hell after the drop....i predict 83% better. lolz

[silverman77777]

@meade916 Oh without a doubt it does man, after checking out the final product after you guys did the drop, lets just say damn!!! Good choice bro! And by the way I think It's bad ass you actually take the time to reply to all of our comments, means a lot that you put the time into doing something like that. Thanks again bro!

[yuyusuck]

exhaust



[jodirt2k7]

Full exhaust....Sick Is -f

[meade916]

i made my decision and the UPS guy is coming by tomorrow!! I cant wait!

[TheBigWhopper420]

@meade916 So what did you decide? I suggest the drop!

[meade916]

@TheBigWhopper420 UPS man is on his way today sometime!!

[dandnguy27]

Exhaust

[Xicu12345]

Love how you describe an fake exhaust :D

[MoneyOnMyMind18]

I'd go with the drop

[15kickerlivinloud]

exhaust!!!!!!!

[thebellako]

drop it man thats the best thing u can do bro

[penguin7700]

Drop

[aznbmxer182]

to be honest i think the doing the drop first is way better

cause i mean you can do the exhaust anytime plus it already looks good as it is man

yeah

[jonhyboy122]

Bro those Rims are Sick, They go so well with the lexus.

[meade916]

@jonhyboy122 thanks bro :)

[TRY6790]

Yo man when i was first looking at this vid i thought you should do the exhaust first but when i saw at the end u gotta get rid of those gaps and drop that thong but it looks sick anyways defiantly do the drop first

[chinsta90]

Drop it, its already fast as is

[upurnose46]

BAG IT!

[LexusUSA1]

That's one crazy sick Lex you got there steve. I've got an 02 LS430 that I'm working on right now. I've got some Sound Ordnance 12's in it (yes I know, It's nothing compared to you...) But its fine for me. But I don't know what kind of door speakers to get! It doesn't have the mark levinson system and I just want the speakers to run off the head unit. What do you suggest man? I would really appreciate some help. I'm counting on it! Thanks man :)

[myounz]

well your exhaust already looks awesome and the car i think looks great as is but I guess the drop would be a better thing to do now because your exhaust is already sick as hel as is and not many people have it

[PTight]

really CANT go wrong with KW suspension!

[ali70547]

Bro u have the sickest ride man!

[meade916]

@ali70547 thanks man!! :)

[bigworm602]

what ur name on skype steve?

[1silver4]

Do what you feel is right

[MrFOOTBALLMAN77]

steve, i think you should get the car dropped bacause its what you want and i think your exaust like fine and the defusers are cool.. and thats what i think

[JayBird90210]

hey steve do you like the look of a hellaflush stance??

[meade916]

@JayBird90210 i like the look of the RIGHT stance, not some gay name some kids made up.

[jeremyboberg]

it already looks good.. you should make it sound good

[tamal503]

BOTH!! lol
