'12 to '13 Differences
Hi guys, I'm relatively new to the IS-F, only had it for about 2 weeks, and wow is this an awesome car! I just picked up a 2013 dark grey (sorry, don't know the color name) with the red interior. Absolutely perfect combination!
However I have noticed when looking at a lot of aftermarket parts that there seems to be a distinct cutoff from the '08-'12 IS-F's and the '13-'14 ones. Specifically I'm looking at a carbon fiber trunk spoiler, carbon front lip and an intake pipe.
I was under the impression that all the models we pretty much the same, save for the suspension upgrades in '11 and a few minor things. So my questions is; is it safe to say that if I buy an intake and spoiler advertised for a '12, it'll fit my '13?
Thanks!

Great Combo indeed, and congratulations on the purchase.. to answer your questions, yes all mods will fit on 2013 model. Also, im curious to know....do your headrests have the F logo embroided in them?

Congratulations on your purchase. I have the same exact combo except mines a 2012, I love love mine. Best of luck with it! Btw, how dark is your tint. Mines getting done tomorrow and wondering how dark it's gonna look. I'm getting 20%!!

Cool, thanks for the input guys. I assumed as much, I was just surprised to see things labeled as '08-'12 specifically. That means I'm going to have new carbon fiber bits on the way soon!
caveman, thanks for the color name. It really is a great color, and changes a bit depending on lighting, which is really cool.
NarsISF, nope, no F on the headrest, just on the seat bolster. Was there a version that had it on the headrests?
JdSwiper, the tint is 35%, so yours will be a little darker than that. This color combo looks perfect with tinted windows!

I have 20% all around on my Nebula, and i believe its a perfect tint shade...you dont want to go too dark because then it will take away from the interior

Oh yeah, that looks awesome! Must only be the '14. Damn, that sucks! How much would those be to buy from the dealer I wonder...
Seems weird that they would change something like for only one year though!

I though I'd resurrect this thread and show off the new stuff. I went ahead and bought the "for 2012 ISF" carbon spoiler, and of course it fits absolutely perfect! Looks really great on the car and I think the colors compliment each other perfectly.

Thanks gentlemen!
I certainly hadn't seen this particular color before either. I was originally looking for USB or white, but I really wanted the red interior and was willing to basically take any exterior color to get it. Because, well, the ISF looks pretty amazing in any color! Luckily, this NGP with red interior popped up not too far way from home and I just couldn't say no! Luckily for me it just happens to be really rare.
