Default 2016 IS 200t at SEMA

Just got back from the SEMA show and took these pictures of a modded IS 200t F Sport.

I have to say it, that rear is hideous. Everything else is pretty nice but I've never been a fan of different colored hoods and trunk lids.

was the carbon fiber on the qtr panel wrap? it's not listed on the board. I like carbon fiber, but the trunk is a little od imo. maybe if it was on a white car it would look better, but it's been done before for a show. it also shows apex'i smart excel controller...I wonder if it's a prototype cause I don't believe there's a topic about it any where on here. not to say that everything made for the car is always listed on here, but for the most part, someone drops a little knowledge.


thanks for the pics.

I agree on the rear. The carbon fiber hood is cool but the trunk should have remained blue. Also, whatever those pieces at the bottom corners are, are hideous!

The front end is to aggressive and dont make the rear. the rear is so plain. Only if the rear was aggressive too then it would be perfect.

I like the front, but the back is ugly!

Never been a big fan of changed trunks but I think it would look better if they had a gloss black or gloss CF wrap on the roof (and remove those bike racks or w/e they are), and have it as a one stream design.

I like *most* of the car.. I HATE those air canards on the rear bumper.. I've never been a big fan of the Siebon kit, I don't like how the skirts fold up in front of the rear tires and same with the front lip how it folds up at the ends of the bumper.. I prefer the Skipper look myself..

I really like the trunk lid but it would look better if the roof was wrapped in CF to make it more consistent with the front of the car.. I wonder how fitment of the trunk lid is.. If the gaps are nice and even all the way around..

Insane brakes on that thing though! Yeah and ditch the roof rack..
