Goldendoodle? My kids wanted one but they became wildly popular around here and rather expensive for a dog. I like their personalities though.

He's an Aussie Labradoodle. Been on our radar to get one of these "designer" dogs when we went to a fundraiser in 2010 and one of these puppies went up for auction. Always been too expensive and wanted to get a rescue dog instead, but my coworker had one. Long story short, not even a year into ownership, her dad found out he had cancer and they couldn't keep the dog so we were able to adopt him.

What brake rotor is that? Looking for something similar - looks good!

Had to run to a few clinic locations this week, and it was sunny, so I took the fun car.

Some photos of the F how it stands presently.

Gonna be reclearing the diffuser (the desert has not been friendly to the top portion of the diffuser).

Also gonna clearcoat the front lip for better durability.

Just chucked in this oil catch can. I already had the same type installed but one of the local IS-F club members had a cool idea to get an F logo etched into the top, so he did me one at the same time. Impressed at the way it came out.

Could you take some close-up pics during re-installation of the lip please? As per recent question on FB mine doesn't seem to fit well, so it would be awesome to see where your srews sit in the bumper, etc. I really hope I can still fit mine as I love the look of it. Aligning it just seems a pain so I can use all input available.. Tia.

It has been said before, but that stance is awesome. :-)

Installed the RR Racing tune, RR carbon intake tube and aFe dry filter in my 2011 IS-F, and after taking it for a drive to get the KCLV levels back up, this thing is definitely even more fun to drive. The power/torque throughout the rev range seems to have a lot more urgency, and it just keeps on pulling.

Only other mods are an X-Force catback exhaust, oil catch can and throttle controller, but it's now a completely different beast with the way it puts the power down.
