Maybe where the OP is from, there is no IS-F available?

edit: nevermind, read the last post.

Well AGAIN, I honestly think you did an awesome job, it looks fantastic.

And since the price of the ISF is so high, chances are there aren't too many around and hardly anyone would know the difference.

Enjoy your car, be proud of your hard work because you put your heart into it and it shows.

The Lexus IS-F will be worth about 32,000 within the next 12 months, so the car will be affordable, but I am hesitate in getting one because the projected gas prices will be $4.00 withing the next 3 months & $5.00 within the next 12 months. Thus, the cost of filling a tank of gas in the Lexus IS-F will be about 90 dollars per week next year.

The taillights too, and the quiet engine haha.

Sweet conversion! Ive seen it done before not easy since the F bumper is wider than the normal IS. As far as the car.. only Lexus owners and a few others know about the brakes diff.. probably 6/10 people out there will think its an IS-F.
Very well done with the conversion.

That is a very nice conversion job you did! It looks exceptionally like an F...of course except the brakes, taillights and the sharkfin. But I'm sure where you live, people wouldn't even know those little details. The F is an eye catchy car. I'm just curious to know what do you tell people if they ask what kind of engine/HP does it have in there?

I mean to each their own, i'm glad you live in another country since I won;t be seeing that on the roads around here. I do have a problem with labeling it as an ISF since it is not, why the false advertisement? You'd get more props correctly labeling it.
