Default Isf v6 vs. Isf v8

I have a 2012 ISF 350 v6 and want to put the V8 sides skirts on mine but not sure if they will fit before I purchase them and if I'll have to do any mods to make them fit.

There is no such thing as an ISF V6. What you have is an IS350 F sport. No ISF side skirt won't fit

Common misconception...as a joke (to help raise awareness - haha) I made and shared this pic on IG & FB a while ago asking people to understand the difference between these two badges ;-) No hate on the 350 F Sport and I understand for Lexus' it was pure marketing strategy but I think it sometimes offends and/or frustrates F owners bc for the "average person" they don't know/see the difference.

Haha yep! Even the F sport badges are less than 1/2 the price of the F badge. The F sport badge looks so cheap. I don't know why Lexus even bothered.

IMO Lexus was dumb as hell for making so much confusion. Does anyone ever confuse a M3 with a 335 or a M5 with a 535. I mean damn to the average consumer you got a is 250 f sport, is 350 fsport, isf, then we jump to a GS 350 f sport..(no GS-f) Ls 460 f sport, Ls 460....I mean wtf, Then They go and throw an F sign that resembles the ISF sign on all the F-sport models in the exact same place.....That is as dumb as nintendo having a WII, then naming the next console WII-U.....Why not SUper Wii? Damn some of these execs need to be fired

I've never seen so many people rage over badges in my life as I have on these forums LOL. Always entertaining.

so now we have even Lexus drivers who dont know the difference ?!?!

No wonder we have so many members with exhausts . Only way to really make sure people know ITS NOT A V6.......even other Lexus drivers .

Even my brother, when I initially purchased the car, told me that he sees ISFs all over LA. I had to explain the difference and how rare true F cars are

The OP is just a troll account. He signed up August 2014 and this is the first post he's made. It screams troll account.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the OP is an actual ISF owner who made this thread for his or her own amusement.

They already have those for years, they just don't put badges all over.
