I have the body (minus the rear bumper, not trying to go super copycat). It's an IS250 6MT. Let me know what you think
Hi John, I know you put a lot of work into this and can appreciate time and effort put into your car I know it was very big job. But to me it is kind of super copycat job when you use hood, front bumper, front fenders, and side skirts. The whole purpose behind F having a different body is one distinguish IS-F from standard IS line and two enhance the performance aspect of F.
I, use to own IS350 and would have never have done this to my old IS why would I try this hard to make it look like something it isn't. The IS-F is so much more than just cosmetic aspects of the car it's the motor, transmission, suspension etc. I've seen some awesome custom IS250 and IS350 out there and would have gone that route rather then try to copy IS-F, but to each is own good luck with your car enjoy and drive safe.

The reason you don't see more IS-F slammed on air bags is because THIS IS A PERFORMANCE CAR!
Mine is slammed but only within reason to keep the car's stance for aggressive driving. It would suck you have to take corners at 30mph so you don't rub just so you can have that VIP look.... :P LOL

I am not going to say whether I support your decision or not...but the work u put in is awesome, it looks just like an F. If you can get the rear bumper done you could fool anybody. Then you can go to lexus and tell them they forgot to put the v8 in your isf
