^ Yeah, they are heavy and do not provide any performance gains at all. That is why I sold mine among other reasons.

It looks much better with the 5 Axis front end!

Seems like the M5 is also trending towards this look:

I like it, but I think it's a little to aggressive for the whole car. Now if you made the rear and the side skirts just a little more aggressive, it would balance the agressive look in my opinion.

Not bad, but I like my current front end much better.

I have to say I like it. Some people prefer the subtle look. Some people say they think it looks like some sort of transformer, or something out of Japanimation. I figure you have an F for a reason. I'm tired of us getting confused for a regular IS or is that F for F-Sport? Anyway enough ranting.

The IS line is baby GS so if Lexus follows same formula and build GS-F with similar front end to 5-axis car then we may be looking at the next potential IS-F

Not bad. I think it'll be even better if it came with only 2 doors. I really hope Lexus will come out with an IS-F coupe.

After seeing the 5 Axis 4GS, it's making me want to trade my IS when the 4GS comes out next year. I'm just drooling all over it! Well, if it looks exactly like that.

Let me see if I can add the sides, and maybe do a reworked rear (that sounds....)anyway. I'll see what I can do.

MB, BMW, and Audi ALL have coupes in this segment! Lexus NEEDS one in order to fully compete...

Coupe would look nice but 4 door is just so much more convenient. I couldn't go back to coupe anymore

Nice photoshop!

I love the 5-axis GS version as well and will wait to see what happens in the near few months....I hope the new IS-F is a bit more roomy for 5 + fold down rear seats will put me back in the hunt, otherwise will wait to see what new cars are offered in 2013/2014
