Default 2002 IS300 to ISF Conversions?

Just wondering if anyone has attempted anything like this on a IS300? I was thinking of changing the front out to be honest.. But wanted to see if it can be done

It can be done with alot of modifications. Anything is possible; however would it look good? IMO no...

Please dont do that to your IS. I had an IS300 before my F and never thought about changing the body lines. This car is great as is... If you really want a change. Try getting a TRD kit.

again just my personal opinion.

Edit: There's actually body kits out there in Japan that simulate the IS-F lines.

The front end is my favorite part of the IS300 .... I wouldn't mind swapping the back to the newer IS though lol.

It doesn't look bad but just the regular IS bumper is so much better.

That pic is actually a screen shot. In the bottom of the right corner you will see a half circle from my video player.

Not when a 2jz-GTE is so much cheaper and easier to find and make loads of power.
