sorry man its sold.
Thanks for the input...so is the following the process for removing swirls?
1) Wash car
2) Clay car
3) Polish car (using dual action polisher)
4) Wax Car
One more question is how often do you need to follow this process...I assume evey time you wax...or just when you need to remove swirls?

i got it from ebay. you should see my car on there, the seller is using my pic.
Just want to say this thread is awesome!! I started looking for an IS F a month ago after I discovered they existed. Bought a 2011 USB CPO with 27,400 miles on it this past Saturday.
ISFPower is the MAN for creating that beast and detailing his mods!
I have learned a lot reading this thread so keep the updates coming!

Just catching up on your War and Peace thread....to see what idea's I can steal :P
Did you ever buy the side skirts?
I love your caliper's...debating this year on a similar color, but more orange to make them pop a bit.
I see you painted them which definitely gives them a more cleaner look....I was looking at media blast, rebuild and then powder coating.....but the powder coating gives them a real bloated look. I really prefer what you did.
Nice job!

on silver, an orange would look sick. i wanted to go with a color that was loud enough but wasn't tacky looking few years down the road. i would hate to do it again.
lol, thanks man. its an addiction and finding products that give fast and great results. it can make a good car, great.

Wow! Just read all 40 pages of this excellent build thread!
All I can say is you and your IS-F are inspiring chap. Very nice indeed!
Keep us posted on the rear diffuser and carbon bits your friend was looking to do. Whilst I'm based in the UK, I travel to the US on business 6-8 times a year.
Would love to see some US IS-F owners if I can.
With only just over 200 IS-F's in the UK in total, I'm one of a very small group looking to do some modifications to finish it off, and make it my own.
May pick your brains on what DA to buy, what pads, and what polishes/glazes I should try?
Keep up the awesome work dude. You help inspire us all (even with that huge pond between us! Lol).
All the best,
Peter

here is a sneak peak at my powder i bought for some engine bling. hope it will look good the way i imagined it will be. going to the powdercoater tomorrow and hopefully will update this thread again.
just got some items back from my powdercoater. went with a custom mix of powder that came pretty damn close to USB.

Just went through all 39 pages and pics.... I know i don't have a "F" but this would inspire anyone to mod there car... At first i was thinking this was a budget build thread with the spacers, muffler delete, LED's, and emblems etc , then you completely raised the bar with the JOE z exhaust, headers, coilovers, etc.... lol...
I would definitely start off with what you did in the beginning, muffler delete, spacers, strut bar, etc...
Did the car come lowered when you first bought it? springs maybe?
This definitely makes me want to get one...

Do you remember where you found these plastic caps? I'm hoping to use your wonderful idea and didn't have any problem finding the grommets, but couldn't find any similar caps. I'm hoping you could point me in the right direction before I waste a lot of time trying to find them.
