LOL very well put, I agree!


So for those of you who painted the grills, did you use matte black or gloss black for the entire grill?

What about the emblems? Gloss or matte?

I have a lot of plans and the mod list is growing thanks to you guys!

I am working on a laser cut version that you can install yourself. The 2-peice grill is a little bit of a PITA to remove and the grill sandwiches between the bumper and the trim peice. Been too busy with other stuff to finalize it.

FIGS, props for coming up with some products for the IS-F!

You are referring to the UPPER grill between the headlights right?

NOT like that ugly ricer one for the lower grill I hope......

no, this was my proto. The mesh will change to a couple options and I will add some features to tighten the things up.

Thanks FIGS - looks very sharp and exactly what I had in mind!

I was going to just spray the OEM grill gloss black like some of the members here but prefer to keep the stock piece intact.

Any ideas on pricing and eTA? Options? Some closeup shots would be nice too

Trust me this much I do hear. I bought all new engine cover clips and while installing yesterday I just thought how much of a PITA it was going to be to remove all of them when I have to do something under there which of course is inevitable

hey FIGS, I was just on your website and noticed you also sell quite a few other cool parts!

Can you tell us more about this heavy duty control arm?
