I agree. The trunk lid on the ISF is the same as the IS250/350. The gap is normal.

Comparing the two photos though, and it looks like the gap is still larger on the IS.

Or maybe I'm just high?

No gap on mine either. I wonder how far that person will go with the body conversion? I'm sure if he spent all the money to change rear bumper covers, I'm sure that person will have the gap filled.

Couple of quick notes / questions..

So who's car is this and where did this take place??

The gap is not normal, which could mean 2 things..
The trunk lid is a bit longer on the IS-F or the side fenders on the rear & under the tail lights are a tad bit higher on the IS-F.. which would make sense since the IS-F has no gap..
All the mounting points probably remain the same..

I also noticed this ISx50 already has the IS-F wing & tailights...
It is also de-badged..
This IS-F bumper also does Not have the Parking Sensors

Looks like this did not take place here in the USA, reason being that the lower plastic part of the trunk lid is Not US Spec. (look around the lic plate area)

No.. its a big conversion..

At minimum you will need the Bumper, Fogs, Hood, Grill, Fenders (L&R) and Side Skirts (L&R)

$,$$$ + paint...

Those quad tips, are just for looks. If you look behind the pipes, you can clearly see a muffler with small tips sticking out. If i were designing that part of the car, I would not have chosen that design path.

I think i know why they did this though.

To stop the exhaust shaking, we all see on the ISx50's....

Now that its not connected to the exhaust directly, they don't need to bother with trying to get it (the exhaust pipes / mufflers) to remain still, while trying to eliminate exhaust vibration.

So, purely for looks...........

Woot!!! Servco FTW!!! Hahaha!!! Just noticed the license plate frames and of course the paper plate saying "HAWAII" on it. Haven't seen you around. Just a weekend car?! Or just to far for me to travel that I can't see it.

Cool, so insetad of having clean attractive lines, now there is an ugly gap and stack exhaust tips that are every bit as ugly as the gap.
