Default Introducing myself just picked up a Is F

Just wanted to drop a line and say hi to everyone here.

Picked up a used 2011 yesterday with 6700 miles.... Took it through the canyons today this car is a huge difference from my last car

I have been a member of Azine I modded up my 07 TL-S here's a few pics .... I was more into a slammed stanced look but this time going for performance









I've got a lot more mod options with this car but that means $ haha

Here is a pic of the stock car as of now.



I have some good plans for this car

Thanks bro! Glad to have a car with rwd and power lol

Not sure yet I was thinking some ce28s in bronze or te37sl's something lightweight and forged.... Was going to put my vsxx on for *****s and giggles but I think the offsets may be too aggressive? They are 19x9.5 +28 & 19x10.5 +29. Not sure I like the vsxx look on the IsF though

That's really aggressive for the ISF I would love to see it done though. Congrats on the new ride!

Thanks guys ......

I'm surprised how weak the IsF figments are..... I thought my TL was week lol I am running 5mm spacers on the TL too so my offsets are more than listed but that's the rims true offsets

I'll try and snap a few pics get some opinions on what they look like

Good choice with the '11. You get the benefit of that mechanical limited slip differential that debuted on the '11s compared to the earlier versions.

Roadfly gave a terrific review for the '11 ISF:

Yea his set up does look sick! I like my vsxx on my TL but it's not the look I'm going for with the F I want to keep with lightweight forged rims

I love those wheels I had em on my S2K. 20's on this car look sick. If you stick with 19's then sporty tuner rims look better than stepped lip designs.

and BTW WELCOME to the forum!!
