Default Spotted. IS-F...turbo

In Indianapolis, Castleton mall.
black, blacked out headlight and taillight, along with the 944 turbo style "turbo" badge.

is this for real? Sorry for the low quality pic, taken with iPhone.

If that's real then it's pretty stealth.. The car looks completely stock besides the smoked tailights and the badge.

Get rid of the turbo badge, or a least make it original.

The F is an amazing NA car...no need for boost.

I agree , don't advertise that it has a turbo , whether it has one or not. You could end up drawing unwanted attention from someone who might smoke you !

Just got word from a buddy of mine with inside tip. apparently it's NOT a turbo.

IS-Fs are fast cars, why would anyone feel the need to put that on their car? ...then again, my cars are debadged. each to their I guess.
