when i first open this thread, first thing i noticed was the wheels and i was like "Nooooooo..." but I must admit those wheels have a good use right now while you're car is in the shop, you don't have to worry about overspray LoL.

can't wait to see it when it's done I'm sure it'll be good. as long as you don't put an IS-F badge, you're good. GL modding

Some of you might say "you could've put a down payment on an ISF" but the ISF isn't worth the money, for the same price I could get a viper, z06, nsx, carrera,etc....(used of course). But I need the rear seats because I have 2 kids so this is just a toy to me, no payments all cash. So for those who are with me thanks for your support, as for the haters keep hating and keep making payments in your stock ISx50.
I agree F's arent worth it.

USB is a great color choice. Still not a fan of the IS F kit, especially on a non IS F but to each his own. I would've gone with the 2011-2012 F sport look. Much cleaner IMO

OK let me make something clear. I'm not trying to make this car pass as an isf, I really like the bumpers because all the other aftermarket bumpers don't look as good as the isf bumpers in my opinion. I took off the badges so no one can tell whether it's a 250 or a 350, but anyone with car knowledge can tell right away it's not an isf. Another thing, this is not a race car so please don't comment on engine upgrades or how I should throw a 2jz in it or a rocket engine that could fly me to the moon and back in under 10 seconds. This car is all about LOOKS. All positive comments are welcome and appreciated, haters keep hating (...and wishing).
