That's a lot of work for 7 days. Great job to everyone involved in putting this together.

Thank you for the pictures, that's an amazing mount of work done with very good quality!
Any pics of the car? I'd love to see how it looks.

How difficult was it to swap the center console for the touch pad style controller/head unit? Is it worth a swap if we can find the right parts?

Damn you Lexus! so all the hoopla I read on CL regarding the reason we never got a 2nd gen ISF was because the 31S couldn't fit the V8 was bullocks.

Those wheels look like they were made for the IS and that steering wheel is gorgeous, especially with the stitched airbag cover. Superb.

Agreed, that airbag cover elevates the interior look so much just on its own... Can I have one?

Congrats on building the one car model that Lexus neglected to build with their latest generation of F cars.
