I knwo what your saying But that will mean any stacked exhaust for an ISX50 will be considered a fake IS-F in your eyes, cause right now this is all we got. I dunno the way i see it, is basically that its giving respect to the IS-F, a more aggressive stance and look (Esp if u got the sound to back it up). Once again as long as its not rebadged to an F i dont think there is anythint wrong with it. Most tuners go quad, Stacked is the Lexus quad.

I am still waiting for an appealing vented CF hood and this one was almost there. I normally don't condone knockoffs if the price of the original part was well justified in terms of functionality, quality, fitment, R&D…etc. But it's not like there is an OEM IS-F conversion body kit around.
Wait so the hood on this car is an actual Five Axis hood? Im confused . I also take it u didnt like the SEIBON hood? BTW you want one for looks? or wweight savings?

nope it isn't a Five Axis hood. I wish this Korean kit replicated it though. What I don't like about the Korean hood is the steep angle of the vents, it just doesn't flow with the car lines and they are bigger than they should be.

I saw the seibon evo-style hood, it's not for me, I am after the euro look rather than the tuner look. And yes CF for the looks only

Not gonna lie, that looks pretty clean. They both look good! But I wished they hadn't copied the tips exactly like the IS-F.

I only like the hood and front bumper other then that, hopefully there will be real performance mods for our cars..so we can use this kit to back it up?
