Why is the back so low or you have 3 dead bodies in there?

Sounds Great Rick..!!

Did you spec out a custom set or find them already available.. ??

Also, what are your tire plans?

Which car or picture are you referring to??? (shhhh it's a secret but my big Hello Kitty in back seat weighs a TON!)


JoeZ: They told me 8-10 weeks so must be a custom set but I'm getting really impatient at this point since the entire order had to be pre-paid! Tires I will most likely try the Falken Azenis 615's as I like the tread pattern. Always been a Toyo fan prior...

One thing on this IS-F I CANNOT STAND IS BRAKE DUST! I just washed the car yesterday and it's dirty today, is there any way to swap out the pads for something else?

Took 2 days to remove, sand, prep and repaint my OEM rear badges. Costed me virtually nothing versus spending $300+ for new badges

Funny how small things like this really change the look of the car!

thanks for the comments guys!

I'm really itching for a rear diffuser right now but besides the WALD and Vorsteiner piece I'm really not sure if any others....

Has anyone here used the Vorsteiner piece painted black on white color car?

wow thanks JoeZ, my IS-F is still runnig all stock body/rims so I wonder if my car can pull that rear valence off?

I just wish it the center had more fins....

Gosh this car really has pretty limited mods, not much left to do for the car besides the front lip and rims.

Hey Rick, you can do it. Just get some spacers and you're all set!
