NEEZ IS-F booth car
Check out this IS-F in the NEEZ booth at Auto-Messe in Japan not too long ago. Satin black paint with carbon-fiber hood, roof, trunk, wing and skirts. Notice the redesigned side mirrors with blinkers, inserted Fog-lamps, shaved rear door handles and copper-finished forged wheels.
Those with a keen eye will also notice all the chrome window trimming has been painted black too. Stealth!
Looks like a knock-off 5Axis IS-F build.
anyways, enjoy!

Very Five Axis like. I like the Yamaha hood badge, represents it right!

I like this car better than the 5-axis.. It still looks very much like a stock ISF, while doing sensible and not over-the-top mods .. Love the whole CF, black pearl look (CF side skirts are pretty slick, but probably fit only the darker colors).. Yamaha badge, fogs lights in center of front bumper and tint are very well done

Since the car was painted Satin black, I think the carbon fiber should have been left un-glossed or better yet, dry carbon. Personally, I think that would blend better with the rest of the car.
Besides that, very nice build.
I didnt realize that was a Yamaha emblem. Good job Ryan for calling that out!

Yes, different wheels for sure. I think if the CF was flat/matte it would look exactly like the 5-axis car's finish.. The glossed CF looks pretty good and nicely contrasts the flat paint.. I also like how the CF is flat on most of the side skirt, but is glossed where it meets the doors.. Nice details IMHO.

They only shaved the rear door handles? That looks strange.
I would have shaved all of them and used the MagicTouch
touch-sensitive pads to open the doors. I almost did this
on my GS...
Satin black cars have officially been done to death.
The wheels look like the HRE MonoBlok series with different
center caps in them.
Kind of a shame to do all of that to a real IS-F. It would have been
cheaper to just ruin an IS250...

The three tuning forks of the Yamaha logo mark represent the cooperative relationship that links the three pillars of our business -- technology, production, and sales. They also evoke the robust vitality that has forged a reputation for sound and music the world over, a territory indicated by the enclosing circle. The mark also symbolizes the three essential musical elements: melody, harmony, and rhythm.
