Man, your car looks really good. I'd love to do that on an IS-F.

I'm sure it would look good too But there is the new "RS-F" that should be released in either 2015 or 2016. The bumper on that thing looks really aggressive.

This looks like it belongs on the car. Amazing fitment and look. Very very aggressive. Reminds me a little like:





just a little. It's so aggressive. These Audi's are aggressive in style up front and I think the 3IS bumper on the 2nd gen IS is such a bold move. Love everything about it.

Very impressive job on the fitment. One question though, have you ever considered going to a 350? Seems like a lot of work for a rather pedestrian model.

Thank you The fitment is really really really good. There's only a couple spots that aren''t completely "flush" but its not too noticeable unless you see it at specific angles or you're looking for it..

I agree, this front bumper conversion on a 2IS > 3IS any day. All I'm missing is the beautiful seats and LFA Gauge Cluster lol

I thought about it a while back and almost did it (well actually I almost traded it in for an FRS).. until I decided that I would probably miss my 2IS so much after I traded it in. Plus, I got this car for a great deal so I'm gonna take advantage of that. I'm thinking that in the future I may buy a different car for my DD and do a 350 or F engine swap. Or worst case scenario, just supercharge and headers, and more performance-based mods...

Also, I have one more picture for you guys

I haven't seen too many pictures of my rear end from the Pursuit so not sure if it wasn't as populously accepted by the Lexus crowd or if they were too mesmerized by my front conversion. In either case, I'll take some *** shots later on this week or next week. But there's the picture by Jordan Mo Photography! Thank you for the coverage!

I guess the seats can be custom fitted? The LFA cluster is fun first time you play with it but nothing special after a couple of minutes. I'll like it more if it has better screen resolution and moves sillently and faster from side to side.
