Default Long time CL member, new ISF owner

I recently picked up a new 2012 Matador Mica ISF so thought I would share a few pics of my new ride. I've been on CL for quite a while and have owned 2 LX470's, 2, GS430's and a fully built, custom SC300. My wife has a 2006 LS430, too. I decided to get the ISF to use as my daily driver. When I purchased the car, the interior was Alpine, but I swapped it with another CL member here in SoFlo for his black interior. I currently have a 2013 GTR that is being built to AMS Alpha 9+ specs, so I thought it would be wise to part with my built SC300 and get a daily driver I could have some fun with, too. I have done a few mods to the 'F'; did a full front end Expel Extreme clear bra (full front fenders forward), tint, BC coils with Swift 16/12 spring set-up, SargeISF's D2 Forged wheels and Lexon carbon lip. I plan on installing SPC front camber ball joints (have them already), an intake and exhaust in the near future. So with that, check out the 'F.'

The lip was purchased from SargeISF on this forum. I believe he purchased it from Carson Tuned.

Tee, looks great man! We saw each other's F's at stage 0, now we've both done quite a few mods, can't wait to see yours in person again!

and also very glad to hear you were able to install some coilovers. I was concerned since our F's are 2012. Happy new year! I'll ask you about it when I see you in the near future at a meet or something

Nice Lexus family you have. The F looks good. Did you adjust the settings on the BCs (softer/ more firm)?
