is250 converted to isf or before the origional owner trade the car in, take off and sold the wheels and brakes and may be even suspension and put on some cheap is250 brakes wheels. but yea definitely a rip off if you buy this car off them

who ever traded that car in...got the dealer really good!!

Woah i cannot imagine an F with small 250 brakes...atleast 350 brakes would have given sufficient braking power.

Fraud-tastic! Assuming its an ISF that got stripped for parts before being sold to the dealer, I wonder what else is missing? Shift **** & seats, perhaps?

Link is working again. That car is in sad shape. 250 brakes and ISx50 wheels. Everything else looks like an F. That car is truly F'ed.

Bwahahahaha!

After reading this thread, I was like, "hmmm, I'm surprised they didn't sell off the taillights." Then I looked...



lol!

A few things that actually surprised me though:

1. The spoiler is there. If you're gonna do the wheels, tails, calipers, and rotors, why not pop the spoiler off for an extra $300?
2. CF interior trim.

I would say seats, but I don't think the F seats will fit in the ISX50 if it has the A/C seats.

That dealer got raped!

Are the struts interchangeable between the F and the X50? I wonder if those are swapped.

The seats will fit, you just can't use the ventilated capability. I wish I had 'em!
