car looks awesome!! nice drops and wheel choice. What are the full wheel and rim specs? where in Cali?
looking forward to your supercharger plans/execution. I'd like to know the progress because I've been debating on supercharging my IS350 also.

It's a crap shoot that takes a lot of money and time. After seeing multiple people say that they're going to super/turbo charge their ISx50 that we've all become disillusioned. Not saying it hasn't been done, apparently less than a handful of guys on the forums have managed to suprcharge the 350 engine, but again - lots of custom work and fabrication.

alright then well sense you all wanna be jerks. Youve all made my club lexus experience horrible . wasnt trying to fool anyone... wasnt asking for a bunch of people to talk about my "isf badge" was going for the hetchs and rims. Supercharging my IS 350 next week but wont beable to post anything now becuz im never posting in club lexus again .... no reason why id wanna sit hear and listen to people hating... was unaware thts what club lexus was about? Later haterz
Was wondering why you decided the F rear bumper conversion and not the front. I was thinking of doing the front conversion on my 07 because I like how the ISF front looks, not so much on the rear.
If you decide to stick around, you will find out this this is a great forum with lots of useful information and awesome members.
Glad to see more female IS owners on the forum.
Good luck on future mods. Looking forward for updated posts and pics.

How is the ride on the H-techs compared to stock? and are you running the original Shocks/Struts? I'm planning to do the same thing but I'm trying to figure out which tire set up on the 19's I can run with out any rubbing and modification.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hey "LinIS" this is one of the reason why you need to stay, There are a lot of useful information and a lot of very knowledgeable people on this forum.
Don't forget to use the "Search" button, That's why I only have one thread open (intro thread, LOL), because I always find the information I need using the search button.

one thing you will learn i think in any car community is that putting higher end badges on a lower end car is a no-no. the general public opinion will be against that for sure. if you would have done the rear bumper conversion but just didn't put the ISF badge on the trunk, this thread never would have derailed. also you get really upset really quick. it's the internet, grow some skin.
i think the car looks good. i love the gold contrast with the black car. i would have lowered a little lower than HTech springs. they didn't seem to lower much. if you want to get a little lower but don't want to spend $800+ on coils i recommend the H&R sport springs to you.
i don't think anyone will have anymore negative comments at your pictures once you lose the ISF badge. good luck supercharging and hopefully you'll stick around. i can guarantee you will learn a thing or two about your car here.

Don't take too much offense to what other members have posted or said. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, etc. Just keep on doing what you are doing. It's your car and you alone drive it.

Good contrast, I've always been a fan of black/gold. Time for moar low hahahha!
My opinion, ditch the F badge and go back to the 350. Just because you have a rear conversion doesn't make sense to rock the isF badge.
