Default IS-F, uncovered, in the wild

I haven't seen these pics on here before.
They were posted by Enzox on Supra forums.







A few more pics can be found here

Though the IS-F looks ok in these pictures alone, that link really shows how much better looking and better-designed the hot AMG and M cars are. They have just been in this game longer and it shows; their body kits are much better integrated, designed, etc.

Also, why can't Japanese cars get wheel offsets right? They always look so damn tucked in, whereas German cars are always spot on.

hate to admit it but that car actually looks much worse than a regular IS. Oh well.. I would have looked better if they did something like a slightly more agressive rear spoiler, moulded in those fender vents, and gave it a different grill, smaller sportier mirrors, and gave it the stock fog lights back or maybe at least those optional HID fogs except make them standard on the IS-F. Also more unique colors would have been nice instead of recycling the standard IS colors.

Nice to see it in a different color. You cant even tell it has a vent behind the front wheels in this color. Looks very much like the regular IS350.

Either way, if I was goin gfor the F-series cars, I would definitely get the special edition color no matter what. In this case, it would be the blue that we have seen countless times.

yeah looks very tame with subtle differences. I wish it at least the mirrors would change too.

Agreed x100... That rear diffuser is pure sex. I'm also liking the trunk lid spoiler on the IS-F. I hadn't really noticed it until now.

Nice seeing some other shots. Car looks sort of dull here, IMO. I really want to see it in person.

Good find. That is the standard wheel color for the BBS made 19" for the IS-F, gunmetal gray.
