TOM'S front air splitter/rear diffuser for IS-F + other goodies

On the TOM's design I am not sure it will improve things much since it still retains the stock bushings. I found that because the multilink rear is over constrained anyway, the bushing just makes it bind in certain cycle angles. By adding a rod end to the inner mount, most of that cross bracing is not really required anymore because there in not much torsion imposed on the arm. Big handling improvement and it freed up energy in the suspension in favor of traction. I could probably whip something up in a few months or so and test on my car.
I think the front splitter looks good but the rear diffuser looks a little cheap...and the angle is way too steep.

If you guys want some control arms I can mod my IS300 design, and make some for the F. $500 probably. Similar to these.

u should try and make bushings for the ISx50, I think that those cars need it more than the F, our cars even with springs and sways are still not quite there in the handling department

First of all thanks for better pics NDK83. Now I know I like this rear diffuser. Problem however is I was told all parts are wet carbon fiber and the rear to me does not look so, and the sides I can't tell either. Can someone, maybe Nigel, confirm one way or the other. Front def look carbon.
Thanks!
Thanks!
