But it's never ok to make up modifications. Maybe the dealer told him they did the F-Sport computer mod.

that guy is smoking crack~ look at the prices of his mods/wth is a fsport computer upgrade?/his asking price...

now about how the car looks? 97sc300 is correct~ i've seen PLENTY ridiculous stuff from various ppl here already~ how we build cars in one region might not be the same as how others build in other regions~

*edit* but yeah... imo i do not like his styling choices, had to look up MHT wheels...

I politely asked the owner of the auction to explain himself (about the f-sport ecu upgrade) and to remove the description if it was false. (which it is).

he of course tells me that everything was done by a dealership and blah blah blah. He never admitted to trying to include a modification that doesnt even exist.

Most performance car forums would give you guys crap for running rubber band stretched tires with "ghetto" wheel fitment 3 inches too wide or offsets 50mm too agressive...

I bet none of you guys would like for your cars to be posted on another forum and made fun of because it's not the way they would modify it. Grow up...
Everyone's giving him crap not because of how his car looks (well maybe that's part of it) but because of his description. First of all there's no way he "closed the gap" between an IS-F and that IS350 by installing an intake & exhaust (and a "computer" lol). Secondly, those prices are WAY over exaggarated. And lastly, he is asking a ridiculous price for a 2008 with over 40k miles on the odometer. The guy is really something.

I'd most certainly say that is the "norm" around here, albeit not exactly like that guys', obviously.

I think most of the cars on this forum like very much like that.

The car is modded in a very unique way. It does look like there were a lot of work done on it. I am sure it looked great to the seller and it was something he was trying to achieve.

This Lexus IS350 was customized by a dealership in Florida some time ago, they did put a lot of money into modifying it to the way it is.

I've personally met the owner of the car, the one who bought it off of the dealership. He said it cost close to 100k in the auction when it sold, and he bought it because he liked that the car was different from the other IS's. He liked the two tone color, and that everything was already done with the car. So I guess you can say I'm the only one on CL that's ever actually seen the car in person, at least I think I'm the only one? The owner is actually a pretty chill guy.

Well I thought I'd add my .02

Cool interior, but I could never drive that thing around with that paint job.
