I'm sorry but someone's got to call out that the emperor is indeed naked. Those f car wheels look horrible on the Italia and worse on the isf. They fit like ups truck wheels. What r u thinking dear euro friend?

I am itching to paint the calipers but not sure what color. I was thinking red but that's a bit generic (Black with Red calipers), so I thought yellow but I think they would pop too much. I came across the 2014 Lexus photos in autospies and the car had Orange calipers and I thought they look nice.

Any opinions as for color selection? What do you all think about orange calipers in a black car?

Borla exhaust sikky headers spiral spun cats and a takada intake. I also have excess fuel trim setting a lean code. Any one have this issue or hopefully had this issue.

@GermanISF

I don't hate the wheels on the IS-F, but you gotta take out the screaming yellow Ferrari center caps. Some of us find F badging on 250s and 350s distasteful; wouldn't this be in the same league?

... but hey, if you like it, you like it.

In the Southern US you'll see some Chevy trucks with Escalade badges or whatever. Down here we call rebadging your car "ghetto fabulous".

I don't mind the wheels on the ISF, but rocking a Ferrari badge on a Lexus is, well, what some may perceive as distasteful down here.

To each their own though. Maybe that's no big deal across the pond.

Love the black tips. Are they powder coated?

Injen Dry Filter Intake.

I don't think I saw it posted before so I thought I would contribute. I love the sound. I will update this post with a clip when I get a chance.

Sound clip on a second gear pull with the windows up. Not sure it's incredibly different from stock though.
