Default Why are they pushing this IS-F?
I like to peruse YouTube for IS-F videos and came across this one:

Was wondering why there were a bunch of people pushing this IS-F backwards?

Also, if I'm not mistaken, are those Wedsports? They are hot!

not sure why they would push it backwards considering the engine seemed to be on (didnt hear the engine start up when the driver actually went forward outside of the pit area). on a side note, i wasnt feeling that tow hook on the left bumper side. i recently lost my bumper hole cover and a few of my buddies are saying i should just stick some sort of tow hook there.

Maybe it has some kind of sequential tranny = no reverse?

It likely has no reverse gear.

Feeling it or not... its function over form on the racetrack.

For the street however, you probably should get a new cover and put it on

That is also the first thing that came to my mind.

Yeah, I just ordered it last night. I can see it being useful on the racetrack, as cars may need to be towed, but for street purposes I'm pretty sure it has more of an aesthetic feel than anything else.

Honestly, man, I have no idea. I checked my ride before I left home (it was there). I drove on the 710 towards long beach for a wedding, filled up gas, and it wasnt there when i was at the gas station.

No reverse would be my guess.
