Lexus IS Gets A New Hood! (CARBON FIBER)

[@subiediaries6157]

Keep it carbon ma dude! Looks sick. And bruhh 400 for insurance? Didn’t know the Lexus was a transformer as well!

planing to buy the same hood bro but too scared to put it on my own or just pay some one to do itt... i got LEXUs IS350 FSport

[@JasonNguyen]

You should totally get it! Fitment is on point!!!

[@amooseo]

Bro, what did u do with the windshield washers was it plug & play on the carbon hood?

[@JasonNguyen]

Yessir! Mine fit pretty well! I know others have issues.. it depends on the mold of the hood😔

[@JSLAiMUSIC]

Hey man! Do you have to install hood pins on this? I’ve been scared to commit to this hood bc I don’t wanna drill it 😅😅

[@JasonNguyen]

I don’t! I don’t like the look of them! I don’t track this car so I’m sure I’ll have no issues with it popping up while driving!😅

Looks awesome, dude. I like the exposed CF look with the black, personally, but totally understand paint matching it at some point.

[@JasonNguyen]

LuckyNumberKe7in when the carbon clear starts to peel is when people should paint. However I already wanna paint it haha😩

[@jjcreations9310]

Does it apply for 2017 is350 as well?

[@JasonNguyen]

Yes!

[@PResmejor]

How is the carbon fiber hood holding up so far? I just ordered mine and hoping it'll look great and be worth it !

It’s awesome! It’s been nothing but flawless!!!

[@ViEtKiDD617]

You don’t need hood pins right? It fits the regular hood latch

[@JasonNguyen]

It fits perfect! People tell me to get them just in case but I don’t like the look of them🤢

[@unknownproject1717]

What did you do with the windshield fluid hose

[@JasonNguyen]

I installed it! It has openings on the hood where they go, it’s a bit of a squeeze but you can take the hoses apart and then shimmy them through the openings. On my hood at least!

[@tim250-n6q]

Car looks great got to do my seat like yours. Paint the hood since you painted trunk but leave the vents it will look nice

[@terrynguyen9102]

I’m considering adding Seibon hood to my IS350. Does water get inside the engine area through air vents when it rains or car wash? That’s what I’m worried about. Thanks Jason.

[@JasonNguyen]

It does get inside. It doesn’t touch anything major. I personally have terminal covers for my battery just to ensure no water gets anywhere near the terminals. The other seibon hood design will forsure allow water to get onto your intake filter if you have a cold air intake

[@terrynguyen9102]

@@JasonNguyen Thanks for sharing. I like your car.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

I didn't realize Lexus was so popular in the USA . Well done man. Living in Australia it is not anywhere near as popular to mod the cars as it is over there. This could be due to expense where a new RC350 F sport here is $77,000 plus , The RCF is from $138,000 crazy compared to US pricing. I have a 2016 RC 350 F sport which i love. I might look into that RCF seat idea like you did yourself though that is awesome :). Just in the process of installing Apple Carplay/Android auto to my car at the moment which is a higher priority. love the red wheels by the way.

[@gregriley1708]

Love the CF (3 years later and it still kicks ass) I'd like to see an assortment of colors offered w CF personally. Choosing black or red (in some cases) seems strange for a product that is a top notch upgrade.

[@JasonNguyen]

Thank you for watching! And that would be awesome! Maybe they’ll offer that someday!

[@robertpilavjian1091]

Hey! I noticed you have a strut bar. What branding is it? I’ve been trying to find one for my 2015 IS250 F sport, thanks!

[@JasonNguyen]

I think in this video, it was a tanabe strut bar from a GS350! I now have a Toms Racing Strut Bar which is a lot better!

[@KingH734]

yo, whats the lexus at 8:03 . do you have the year and model?

[@JasonNguyen]

it's most likely a 2014-2016 IS350

[@dusanpusara825]

You should definitely leave the carbon. It stands out in a beautiful way 🤙I have a 15 awd 350 and you got me thinking about getting a second job 😄 What is the weight difference between the two btw? It was great seeing you posted a new vid! Always entertaining and awesome to watch your videos bro!

[@JasonNguyen]

Dusan Pusara dude thank you so much! I might rock it for a bit! I don’t want too much attention tho haha. You should if you can handle it! Which I’m sure you can. Especially if you have something you really want! The difference is about 10 lbs or so!

[@Aperez78]

I thought i was paying too much on my 18 3IS at $155 for full coverage (SateFarm) here in L.A., I will never complain again lmao Keep up the great content as i have seen you around L.A., Car looks even better in person!

[@JasonNguyen]

No one will ever pay as much as I did haha. Thank you so much!! Where in LA???

[@Aperez78]

@@JasonNguyen Glad to hear it's dropping!! In DTLA, and I think I also saw it on the SGV area as that's where I'm always roaming (SGV, Alhambra and Pasadena Areas)

How about the weight does it feel lighter than the stock hood

[@JasonNguyen]

Yes! About 15-20lbs lighter!!

[@vandals_Gardens]

By any chance did you check the weight diff?

[@JasonNguyen]

I did not but it felt like a 15 lbs difference at least.

Full custom exhaust! I have a video on here if exactly what it consists of! The video is titled: the perfect sounding Lexus

Giovanni thank you! It’s okay if it’s not f sport. We’re all lexusboys! I would recommended full invidia if you want loud, full straight pipe if you wanna be obnoxious. My opinion is apexi for full exhaust as it is my favorite. It’s just so damn expensive!

[@GPLEXUS]

Jason Nguyen I would straight pipe it cause it’s cheaper 😂but all the videos I have seen they don’t sound loud. Should I trade my car for the RCF or keep the IS my IS is complete stock

Love you channel bro and watch all your vids! Question as I am about to order this Seibon hood myself. DO you have to remove the hood latch from your OEM hood and switch it over? or does it come with the hood latch on it? If you had to switch it over, is it just bolts? I'm not with my car now to look, hoping the OEM hood latch is not riveted in if I have to swap it over. Thanks for any help on this question and keep up the great content!

@@JasonNguyen Thanks man! Yeah Im not too concerned about the lines and the clips that hold the lines, but the nozzle itself I'm worried about breaking accidentally, do you pull straight down? or is there a clip to poke at to release it?

[@quincyjones1427]

Change your wheels go with a 5 bar vossen wheel silver or black it would kill it....

[@quincyjones1427]

But still though your ride is straight fire, the wheels were just a suggestion. If you had one set of wheels you've basically had them all. I got an LS 460 I wish sometimes I had gotten me a LEXUS IS. Just because you can get soooo, many aftermarket parts for it, all I done to my car was put some coilovers on it because I like that low look and I put a JDM bolt on exhaust kit on it for a deeper sound...and a rear spoiler & a mid-roof scoop. My next mod will be some rear LED's from SPEC-D-TUNING....+ some wheel spacers for the back for a bit of a wider look. If you get a chance check out the blacked out projector lights for your car. They are nice. Ok bro enjoy your whip take care!!!!!

[@rob58882]
