Have any one who installed IS-F Rear Bumper with Aftermarket Exhaust?

Need some advice, how to mod with the aftermarket exhaust to accept the bumper and tip.

• Just cut the exhaust tip off and leave a space between them to avoid vibration during drive?

• Sould cut the exhaust tip off and weld them with IS-F dual tip?


Any idea to install IS-F Fender and Side Skirt with 2IS?

That's OEM exhaust.

Every aftermarket exhaust come with bigger diameter of pipe and tips.

^^^^Same saw works on 'em both. Oh, you do not want to weld the fixed exhaust F tips to an exhaust system that moves.

why dont you just buy an is F

It was not available at here due to duties tax. (Also no IS350 available too)

At here, the price of IS250 Premium Package was $ 110,000. (This budget can buy ISF in USA)

GS300 was $ 170,000
LS460 was around $ 300,000

The goverment charge 300% for import car and also set up ladder step during engine CC.


So, if I put a special order with grey market to import the ISF, the price would at least $ 375,000

In the US, that's the price of an LFA.

There are 2 quota of LFA for Thailand and already bought by some Millionare during " Thailand Motor Show 2010 "

The selling price was finished at $ 1,400,000



I'm only a 24 years old who just graduated MBA and earn money from stock market. So, need around 3-5 years to collect that budget for buy ISF at here!!!

But I decided to pay $ 265,000 for Nissan R35 GTR instead of $ 375,000 for ISF

My friend who move to learn MBA in USA, He can bought Porche 911 for drive to the university with lower budget than I bought my IS250 Premium in Thailand.


Very jealous all of your US market.

There's a 2001 Porsche 911 with a bit over 110k miles on it for $29,000 at the Lexus dealership.

Dang that was a nice car. I kept thinking how much money I would have saved on my IS should I have gotten that instead.

Reminds me of Taiwan... import cars have insane duties and import taxes. It's double the price of USA for cars. My cousins are paying over 30,000 US Dollars for the Civics and Corolla. I feel bad for them.

That's why over half the BMW drivers in CA are probably from Taiwan. They feel that it's dirt cheap coming from Taiwan.

BTW, once your done with your IS-F conversation, I hope that you'll leave out the badging. Otherwise, other car enthusiast will think it's rice on Lexus. My wife's friend bought a 2006 IS250 yesterday, and the badge shows IS350. So sad that the original owner did that. The brakes were smaller and the car was slower.

Don't worry, a set of oversize forged pistons (CP Pistons) and forged Rods (Pauter) that I had ordered will increase from 2,500CC to around 2,800CC also boost @ 1 bar by Rotrex Supercharger C30-94.

I already mod everything suspension parts for them.




Yesterday, I saw one of Lamborghini Gallardo run follow the GTR R35 and can't beat it. ^_^
