Looking good bro! Personally not a fan of the "F-Sport" badge on a REAL F car....But that's just me. We try soooo hard to get people to know the difference, and how much of a difference it is, between a real F car and an F sport, and F sport badging on a real F car surely won't help the cause and just leads the unknowlegded ones to more confusion!
bit glad to have you here as an owner! Very special car!

Thanks for the kind words. Were you referring to the F-Sport logo on the shift ****?

+1. F Sport is for poseurs. The IS F is no poseur, it's the real deal. You know it every time you hit the pedal to the metal.

Yes....The Nissan 350z and Nissan GT-R are "related" as well..... Completely different vehicles!
Anyhow, notice any sound or performance difference after doing the intake tube and filter?

Simple but great changes so far. I love the F badge by the cup holder.

Yeah I suppose the same could be said in regards to the LFA and the IS-F, although related and sharing an F badge, there still two completely different cars.
There's definitely some sound differences verses stock intake. I still need to test drive and I'll report back. I'm guessing the air filter would be the biggest contributer here

Nice!

Good mod choices. Are you planning to modify the side covers to fit round your Cusco strut brace, or leaving them off??

Liking what you've done so far though mate.

Looking good.

Cheers.

Thanks! I'm undecided on the side covers, but it should be a simple enough mod that will finish off the engine bay nicely
