Sick! That color combo is spot-on for this car. I'll take the front splitter and rear diffuser. The CF trim pieces between the headlights and the front grille seems a bit weird though... I understand that they are there so that the CF hood looks more integrated, but I'm not sure if that works for me.

very nice to see a new concept for the F. after the SEMA event in 2008, there wasnt a whole lot of exposure for the F. nice to see some cosmetic changes. i wished they wouldve popped open the hood to see any mods they made there. the vented hood is something i thought shoulve come originally in the F. with such a beast under the hood, it makes sense for it to be cooled down as quickly as possible. I agree with you Oleg400...that wing needs to go!

When I initially clicked on this topic, I didn't realize what this was. I figured it was some salon that gussied up an ISF and brought it to the show. Now I notice just how interesting this car really is.
IMO, what we are seeing here is significant. Not only have we heard rumors about such a car for a long time, but we are also seeing the efforts of Lexus recent investment in carbon fiber technology.
I am excited to see where this goes...

How much lighter is it I wonder.

Some great (the car actually exist!), some good (front CF splitters, CF skirts and CF diffuser, CF roof, wheels), some ugly (color combo, Seibon TS style hood, and wing)
I hope we will see some of theses parts trickle down to us as FF-sport parts maybe ?

Looks like it's a shade under $86k with that configuration. That's a premium people are willing to pay if they track the car. I only use it for a daily driver so don't necessarily need my car to be way lighter.
