They are not easy to find. Less than 15% of IS300s were sold with manual tranny. I may have an '02 L-tuned IS300 5MT premium for sale in the spring/summer.

what does L-tuned modification come with?

usually just the ltune kit and exhaust?
i think they had two packages for the ltune though which the other package would have springs also

Read here for info on the Candian L-tuned IS300:

^^ That was a B-package (not C or D premium package) with the L-tuned kit. The L-tuned IS300 is extremely rare and was discontinued a number of years back. The bodykit itself retailed for $7200 at a Lexus dealership.

edit: that article also draws a highly inaccurate comparison to the C32, LOL
