i saw these before purchasing my OEM ISF rear and didnt want to chance it. Nothing will fit as good as OEM parts.

Realize, you can cover crap with glitter, but it doesn't change the fact what it truly is.
So while others may THINK its an IS-F, the owner has to live with the simple fact...its not.

PapaHoff I saw your car at the Rallye Lexus meet, it looks pretty damn close to a real ISF!

Your sig says it best:
"- If you can't afford it, drive the car stock.
- promoting knock-offs is shameful on a car enthusiast site, not to mention companies who make/sell knock-offs."

to each their own to be honest... I would actually like to see on of these kits installed in person just to get a feel for how bad the fitment is going to be.
