What might appear as a gap is actually a dark shadow. The gap is "normal" and is the same on the ISF and ISX50. I've lightened a portion of the image showing the normal gap and eliminating most of the shadow.

The only part i like about the IS-F rear is the smaller reflectors. It makes it look more "sleek"

...Stands Up....

Guys, an IS-F bodykit on a non-IS-F? IMO, not proper at all. Sure it is your car but why would you do this? There are so many other kits for the IS 250/350.

Also, on "F" badges on your cars. "F-Sport" yes, but no "F". The ONLY F CAR IS THE IS-F.

Those fake quad tips are embarrassing enough on the real deal, much moreso on a 250/350. They probably add weight and little else.

There is more problems with this.

You can also see the bottom of the exhaust canister sticking out.

hahaha, what if a isf owner puts on our rear bumper and debadges, then someone like igofast comes blazing up from behind looking to play and when he pulls alongside... SURPRISE

I'm just wondering how many of those that are all about "i can't wait to do this" would feel the same way if the IS-F didn't exist and this was simply a body kit by an aftermarket company.

It's amazing to me how a handful of folks are willing to disfigure their car (and pay for it) in an attempt to pretend they're something that they're not.

I was told by the parts guy at Lexus of Orland that all the IS-F body parts are entirely different than our X50's. Having said that, I think the gap with the trunk and the bumper is too much, but i do like the quad tip look. My props to the OP for being different.

so the tips come with the bumper.. I thought they were an actual part of the IS-F exhaust... yeah that deff. needs the sides and the front... I can imagine how odd it would look with an aggresive rear and normal front and sides.. hmmm

They are careful not to call them exhaust tips, but rather diffusers.

This doesn't surprise me.
My brother has a B5 Audi S4 and when he had to get his front end repainted, he ordered an OEM RS4 front bumper (didn't want to do an aftermarket narrower bumper that would fit). Same difference here, the RS4 is slightly wider but it bolted up and has a little gap on each side. He didn't have to change the headlights but he did lose his S4 fogs.

I wouldn't be surprised if some aftermarket companies start selling IS-F style bumpers that will fit on non-ISF bodies.
