^Temporary lack of garage space

Actually we have a indoor showroom for the cars - they were just out for their weekly bath and thought it would be a funny picture.....

You can buy it here from Exact Motorsports. Same part made by Rick, but sold through Exact because they are vendors on the site.

I find myself always coming back to this thread and obsessing over your car. Seriously. I think here in the near future imma go from my black 250 to a white isf. I love everything you have done my man. BIG thumbs up! Please don't ever change it!

thanks ~ this is my inspiration for all my current builds except the NSX so look for a lot more of the white/yellow scheme as I concentrate on doing some motor upgrades.


shawnerr: thanks mang, the IS-F has been demoted to garage duty as we rarely drive this car as the s2000 has taken over DD duties for now.


MRxSLAYx: appreciate the interest in the diffuser, I'm sure EXACT Motors will take good care of you!


N54MPower: Gracia's for the linky!


niteLEX: Your words are too kind, the IS-F is not an easy car to modify just because of the lack of aftermarket support. I was very careful in the use of accent colors and not overdo things. I see way too many fixed up cars that try too hard and end up failing miserably with their color choices. In it's current state my IS-F remains classy and sporty but definitely shows an aggressive nature that will make it stand out among any Lexus WITHOUT compromising it's performance heritage.

btw, just to prove that I was not always one with great taste, this picture was taken in 1992 (back when I was in h.s. in chicago) and back then I had this strange fascination with blue/green accents! ahah not sure what I was thinking!

my first try:




getting better but still some rice 4 years later....haha

That is one sick IS F...was curious on how the CF roof wrapping has held up for you? Was interested in doing the same for my SFP IS F. Also, what'd you do for the front grill, I wanted to get the blacked out look...is it CF wrapped as well or painted black?


Your car is very inspirational - clean and mean, esp w/ the tucked stance.

Those are some clean looking S2Ks. The hardtop in white looks soooo sexy. My S2K is parked for the summer w/o insurance since I ride my CBR1000RR every chance I get. Come fall though, I will probably do a few track days with it.

^The roof wrap if done correctly actually protects your paint!

I no longer have to worry about bird crap on the roof as it doesn't even stick and no more swirl marks either. The material is very slippery even though it appears non-gloss. I would not own an IS-F without this roof wrap. The look and transformation goes from boring to aggressive and sport!

The front grill is not wrapped, no way you can wrap such a surface!

I'm pretty sure mine is one of the MOST modified IS-F's here on the west coast that is still daily driveable. You rarely see an IS-F and the ones on this site have rims and exhaust, nothing else....?

Planning a crazy audio setup but not sure if the wife will allow it

I love the s2000 as you can see, no car can compare to it, certainly not the IS-F which feels like a boat in comparison.

The grill should be wrappable. It's not that complex of a shape.

Sewell sells a grille already wrapped in carbon for the IS F on their site.

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...F-2008-98.html

As far as modifications go that's a pretty bold statement to make and really depends on what you want to consider since all aren't visible and not every member lists their modifications. Besides, there really isn't much available for the IS F so no one can really go crazy on these cars.
