Modified 2008 Lexus IS F a Well Spoiled Machine (Fridays are for F Presented by Continental ExtremeContact DWS^{06 Plus})

Designed with a spirited eye and a lot of moxie, this custom 2008 Lexus is F’n amazing! 

When we discovered this gorgeous Lexus IS F, it took our breath away. Not only is this a stunning car, but the modifications work so symbiotically with the 2008 Lexus IS F. Still smooth, still stunning, and so very capable. It is an intoxicating mix of all that inherent Lexus F tenacity with one enthusiast’s potent personal expression.

The 2008 Lexus IS F custom-built to finesse is a perfect pick for this week’s Fridays Are For F.

Owned by SoCal ISF (aka Terry Ly), the machine is a bit of a social media star among Lexus enthusiasts. The amount of work that went into the IS F is very impressive.

But it shows everywhere. As a design, this is form following function … with definite thunderbolts of inspiration and precision. Every detail serves the machine.

So, about that machine. Shockingly, SoCal ISF is selling his 2008 Lexus. Now with 130,600 miles on the odometer, it has a clean title and a long list of mods. First, beneath the wrap it is Starfire Pearl with a red leather interior. Although frankly, we love the Gloss Charcoal Metallic color of the wrap.

“I am in no rush to sell my car,” he writes. “I haven’t driven my F much these days, so I figure it’s time to part ways. The IS F is by far one of the best cars I’ve owned. Packed with plenty of power and very reliable.”

The car will be sold as-is with all the aftermarket mods.
