If you wanted a REAL IS250-ISF conversion then you should've bought the front bumper+fenders+sideskirts from sewell

It looks like something you'll browse from a Netscape Communicator.

OP, if you need help with quality pictures, just PM me.

If you already have a Z06, you dont need an IS-F. Vette will run circles around it. The bike even more so.

What makes your comment more ironic is the fact that the image you posted up is just showing the "image hosted by tripod" message. But holy crap... Netscape! That takes me back!

It needs the fender flares like how the real IS-F has below the F badge with the air vent. It has a sculpted lines that flow on the side skirt to the back bumper. Even then, it still looks like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Stock photo below from the Lexus website with the fender body work.

I agree with the NO to ISF badges, but you can graduate it with F Sport badges. I did the ISF interior swap and will be doing the rear bumper only and I sure as hell will consider mine an F Sport considering that I already have F Sport intake, and all the sway bars lol

For everyone that voted posing you are all haters lol its just like getting a GTI and upgrading to R32 Bumpers and flares, or Audi A4 and upgrading to S4 stuff, or BMW upgrading to M3 parts or M parts whatever they call it. Everyone is entitle to mod their car with any style they like cause they are spending their own money not ours and it is to their liking not ours because we cant be in the car mod world and only modify our cars to what people like cause then we are moding for the public not for us. No offence to anyone here i do respect everyones opinion, but this is just my 2 cents.

I voted for 2-4.

I feel that it does not deserve to wear the "F" badge simply because it is not an IS-F. Otherwise, it looks good all around.

explain to us how you just flat out called everyone who voted for "posing" a hater, but then turn around and say that you respect everyone's opinion.



/OT

personally, this is one of those cases where you can only and move on.
