Default IS 250 conversion to IS-F..anyone?

Hey guys...looking for some advice...Im looking for a third car....really like the IS...but love the IS-F....anybody on here convert their IS to look like the IS-F?

IS-F is not in the budget right now...but need a car soon.

I found one for sale that looks pretty good...but just wanted to get everyones thoughts about the whole conversion and badging etc...i think it looks good.

yes someone have converted the is250 into a isf. but to be honest i rather just buy the legit isf or just stick to your is250 look.

Thanks for the response..I think as long as you do not slap on the IS-F badges ..its not all that bad...its like a 6 or 5 having a M badge when they are not...

It can definitely be done, but personally I think you'd be better off just putting a really nice kit on your 250. My $0.02.

There was a member who did the front end (bumper/fenders/hood) isF conversion and another member with rear isF conversion.

So yes, its possible but front end cost him near 10k. (though he had matte white paint job as well)
instead you could probably save up and get isF.

The whole conversion does NOT cost anywhere near that much. There's a car here in FL that did the whole conversion, looks good but cause he badged it F.

I agree with TokerIS350, there are plenty of nice Kits out there, I specially like the Wald Kit myself... But if you love the IS-F look, go for it... I wouldn't badge it as an F...
