Fsonic, that 2nd and 5th pic are great!
And that last pic for some reason (maybe my tired eyes) really gives an impression of similar designs between the M and F.

ExclusiveIS, I really like the look of the wald bootlid on the ISX50 and on a darker color like SGM. I have considered it on my F, but chose not to since I have no CF parts on my white car, and the bootlid alone wouldn't feel complete to me. If I had the Wald IS-F diffuser, I'd consider the Wald bootlid...then I'd have to get the Wald front spoiler, custom CF pillars and fog light housing, custom CF roof, etc....which I really cannot afford! haha

YEPYEP. So comaro u think the WALD bootlid over the vorsteiner(m3) bootlid?
Only reason I havnt done wald is because the front too. I've thought of running a diff front lip? But not 2 sold on mixing kits?

Guess I'll wait....

You pulled ur car off very nicley I luv it.

hmmm...like you said, apples to oranges! haha. I really like that vorsteiner bootlid on the E92...way better than their ventross line aero bootlid for IS-F. Definitely Wald > Ventross for our F.

Nice meeting you Tommy ~ thanks again for the yummy sandwiches!

The WALD kit truly makes your IS one of a kind! Makes me want your WALD rear trunk spoiler setup, so clean!


As Fsonic said it, we only needed a white GTR, white C63, and white RS4 to complete the deal so maybe next time

Ohhhh so now you want the Wald bootlid too huh?! At least you got to see it in person and make a decision

The F's still new....im in no rush to get myself into a particular kit yet. Nothing I MUST have...

Naw mang, still apples to oranges in my book. Two different parts for two different makes. It's like asking me, do I like BMW or Lexus? Yes, the m3 bootlid looks nice on the m3. Would that same design match the IS? Until they make one similar, who knows? And structurally, the wald bootlid for IS does not look anything like the vorsteiner bootlid for the E92.

One of the best Starfire Pearl IS-F on the boards! That AC lip looks stunning on there!
