I saw the one of the funniest things last night as I was driving home.

I saw an IS with the "awd IS 350" badge on it except I noticed that the "3" was a little off... it looked a little lower than the rest of the numbers. I was suspicious so I quickly pulled in front of the car to inspect the headlights because we all know that the LED day time runners are a standard feature on the IS350 awd.

Just as I suspected! there were no LED day time runners! A 250 owner had just changed the 2 in his badge to a 3!!!!!!!!! It was the funniest thing ever... a bootleg IS350!

Sorry in advance if this car belongs to a fellow forum member... but I had to share.

Should got the plate number and if the are a CL Member they should be "suspended" for a clear violation.
That's is funny - thanks for the laugh early in the morning!

When I first started going to shows and events with my first IS300. There was a guy that said he had a full loaded IS350. It turned out that one of our members was talking to him and he noticed that there where no IS350 calipers and there was a huge bulge in the floor where the front wheel drive portion of the awd drive should have been. Upon further inspection he had switched the badging from IS250 AWD to IS350 and had been lying to us. He never came back aaround after that show.

I've seen a regular IS250 with an F badge before. 250 replaced with an F, but it's obvious to tell because it doesn't have the F bumpers and the brakes.

F-Sport Badges are fine. NO "F" or "ISF" on 250s or 350's and what SEANIS350 saw is a complete violation of IS ownership.

better than the fake M3's i see, HAHAHAHAHA

they dont even try, seriously...

saw one today, looked like a normal 325i E90 (maybe a 320i), didnt have quad exhaust, or the mirrors, or the bodykit or the rims (had like 16's) just said M3... -_-

We all can dream... Some people can't get one, that's okay. But don't lie about it.

I like to live the dream so I bought a 350. Then again I wish I could have had an ISF Haha!

+1 - I've seen someone driving around a ~1990's Civic that is decked out in BMW and M badges.

Sorry... I didn't manage to get a pic because I was driving at the time.

But it was close to where I live in Toronto and it was an MSG coloured 250...

If I see him in around again I will def have to take a pic and post it up!
