great , why not just keep the honda/acura you use to have then you can put the is250 front clip on your 93 hatchback and keep your supra tailights....
people come on, dont cheapen the look of our ISx50, keep your pride, remember why you first bought this lovely car, sure the IS-F is gorgeous , i mean who wouldnt want one if you currently own a IS, but dont cheapen the look of our cars to look like a phony, ....very cheesy in my opinion,..

Pics borrowed from IS-F forum
First I would like to say to if the guys wants to put a few or all IS-F parts on to his car then so be it...
IT'S OEM and should fit better than any other aftermarket part!!!!
He only crosses the line if he adds the "F" Badge..
If this did indeed fit just fine on the side fenders near the wheels, than this also might conclude that the rear fenders are the same on an IS-F and ISx50..
Ok gang..
here is another good pic of an OEM IS-F trunk area
^ Also, in case you missed it, the IS-F exhaust canisters look like so, when looking up close from a low angle..

BTW - it looks like the IS-F crash bar and foam were used in the swap as well...
Javy... we all have opinions.. and that is normal..
I can give you a whole list of R.I.C.E., I see on here everyday.
I'm just saying.. If I'm going to give my car a R.I.C.E., I might as well use OEM parts...

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that there's a line that gets crossed. If you put on an IS-F spoiler, fine. IS-F tails, fine. Maayyyybe an IS-F bumper, okay. But when you put on the IS-F spoiler, IS-F tails, AND the IS-F bumper, now you're crossing into poser territory. I'd like to know if this guy left his car debadged or not, too...

i think theres a fine line between whats socially acceptable on forums. i remember back when i was on MB world guys would be cool w/ putting every thing amg on their car, but the moment a non amg car slaps on the badge the other benz guys rained furry. i guess it kinda works the same here, we all walk a fine line with the mod's we do i think.
but at the end its the guys car, we can cry rice or w/e but at least he doesnt have a huge wing ready to take off into the sky =/
(btw this def is not my cup of tea either, just it could be alot worst than a IS-F bumper)
