I think the same thing, but my definition of sick in this case is not the same as yours. I'm still liking Branew's kit best. I'd really like to see someone make a non-cosmetic splitter lip and rear diffuser with a full undertray. Cleaning up the underside aero should be worth a lot with this car.

I also spotted that IS-F with unique exhaust finishers at the Tokyo Auto salon on the Toyo tire booth:

Those single tips look really bad on the F imo. Good eye Robs IS250 on the mesh, I didn't even notice that at first!

Those single exit diffusers are interesting, but it does makes the rear of the car look like a regular 2IS. Also, the stock muffler has 4 exits that line up with the tips, so wouldn't single tips create unnecessary back pressure? I think the stock tips should stay

And by "interesting", do you mean "horrible"? 'Cause that's what I think about those single faux-exhaust tips.
