Slammed 2015 Lexus IS F Sport Is a Real Show Stopper

Like most builds, this one started out rather mild. But then, things escalated quickly.

Which rear diffuser it is, or is it part of a kit?

Appreciate the dedication and the work put into it, but honestly not my cup of tea.

The automotive equivalence of sagging your pants and throwing a gang sign while wearing dark sunglasses. At night. Indoors.

Could not have said it better myself. Hideous.

Right I'll never understand the appeal behind this look. Especially once you get past a certain age, or at a point in your life where you're financially able to buy a fairly relatively "expensive" premium car. It's not like we're on Civic forums where these kind of modifications is to be expected. Kind of makes you scratch your head.

It's hard to come down on this kind of stuff cause it's someone's personal taste and personal car. And behind the car could be a genuinely nice person. But at the same time, some day these cars will end up in the hands of future enthusiasts, second and third owners, and also do share the same roads with all of us. In other words, the way you modify your car has the potential to affect or inconvenience others.

I can elaborate bullet point style but would rather not go off topic. Just elaborating a little on above.

I think it looks clean as hell.. and it's on bags so I am sure while normal driving he can put it back up.. I don't like the rear window guard though, really nice mods, good job

When I see pics like this, I can only assume they are "posing" it as full-down. Cannot believe anyone would or even could drive around this way, like the guys with a 1/4" front end ground clearance and 45-degree camber. Show it sitting at a more "normal" level, then a better judgement can be given.

You folks are weird, if this was 5-4 inches higher, comments would be different. Probably age gap on CL.

I just think the slammed blacked out hyper-big-wheel-tons of diffusers look is overdone, overplayed, and overemphasized.

less is more.

I'm a fan of the diffuser and spoiler, and even the wheels, but the drop was too much for me. If all I can think about is "how am I going to drive this without scraping on a pebble", you have gone too far.

Fair enough. Still though, not a fan of how low it is even sitting still.

I will say, kudos on getting it this far though. Braver than I will ever be.

The "bags" are just 1/10th of it. For me anyway.
