Talking GS-F Conversion...is it worthy to be called a F?

Call me a ricer if you want, but I'm aspiring to build what should of came from Lexus as a GS-F....2nd gen style

600hp+ engine. Much faster than a IS-F.....check


IS-F Wheels. Gotta have that BBS factory Lexus rim.....check


A powerful BBK. Need to be able to stop on par or better than IS-F......check


Suspension upgrades to hang. Some Tein Flex Coilovers with 6 link in the back, front underbrace for the chassis, and new poly bushings in the whole front end.




And the final touch....I present to you, the first GS in the world to have IS-F seats



Sooo, at the end of the day. Will this car deserve to wear a F badge on the fenders and on the back?
It would be nice to leave an IS-F owner wondering WTF just happened when a GS-F destroys them

definitely not ricer, there are no stupid mods whose only purpose are appearance on this car. Forget F, you deserve G or an A or whatever is 1up from F.

Lol, great plan Jeff. I think after you get the 8-speed tranny in you'd get the badge .

Oh yeah also forgot to add. It makes all that power while still maintaining zero check engine lights. Passes state inspection and everything as well. It runs like how a 600hp turbo Lexus should be from the factory

I think it's well put together. The only thing I'm not jazzed about is the style of the isf seat but thats minor and I've never sat in one to feel the difference in comfort and hug. The rest is a win. How do you like the links & brace? if you've installed them already.
