I got my kit from Vertical Doors Inc. and if you talk to Kim I'm sure she will give you $200 or so off since you were referred.


All I can say is if you install the kit yourself you will need to do some extra work like cutting your fender and extending the door's wiring harness by almost 12 inches. There is 16 wires in each door wire loom (if I remember correctly), which will be 32 solder points for one door...making it 64 solder points for both doors. That was the long weekend and lots of beer involved haha :P Glad you like them

Kawasaki Z650 red 1976 p.o.s., got rid of it a.s.a.p
Kawasaki Z7 red 2000 Bought new. One day while driving it, it just didn’t ‘feel’ right as if something was going to happen. So I sold it the next day
Yamaha* Grizzly 550FI EPS black 2008 Great four wheeler. Best buy.
Yamaha RS Vector white 2009 Awsome machine. Still can’t believe snowmobiles like these are legal.
Yamaha WR250X blue 2008 Light weight. Bullet proof and good on gas too.
Yamaha* FZ-07 white 2015 Love this bike. My two wheeled BRZ
Kubota* B2620 Orange 2010 Great little work horse.

* still have.

Did you buy the mesh wheels off a 250 and install them yourself? We were locked into the 5-spokes because we got the Luxury Package. Also, did you have to put a spacer on to fit over the front 4 pots?

The dealership did the swap before selling the new car to me. I did talk with my dealership recently about it and they took it off another IS350 from what I understand. I believe when the dealership ordered one of their new 2015 IS350s they did a custom change to have those wheels installed before delivery OR bought the rims and installed them themselves since customers have asked for them in the past (they do look nice). No spacers or changes needed; they are the same size rims as the 5 spoke and f-sport (18x8 front, 18x8.5 rear, same offset).

I know you can get the mesh wheels since I saw them on another IS350 from a different dealership but it usually is custom ordered (probably a dealer/manager's car or something).

They look great. I do like the 5 spokes on ours a lot, but I've grown quite fond of the meshes that I see on 250s all over the place.
