Default Bye Bye 2008 Lexus IS-F Ultrasonic Blue Mica...

Well I sold my car on April 1st..I know April Fool's but it's the truth...LoL...got a good price for it. Car went back mostly to stock so I have a few aftermarket parts up in the classified sections. Here are some pics of when it was new to when it was heavily modded...it will be miss but the car I have in mind should be fun...

I'll be dropping by the forums from time to time since I still have a few Lexus cars in the household...

Did you get a replacement vehicle for the F or just sticking with the Tundra and GT-R?

The suspense is killer, my friend! But you had one incredible F! The GTR is a pure beast! Hmm...I'm not sure what your next project will be, but it will definitely be a treat to mod!

Lets semi-hijack this thread by guessing Crazy-Monkey's next ride. I'll start. Since he has the GTR, and he just gotten rid of his 4-dr, then it's safe to assume Phil's getting another 4-dr.

Now is it a 4-dr SUV or Sedan.....hmmmmm

I'm guessing the Panamera 4S in a similar shade of USB?!!!

Doh! Sad to see your ride go man, you're definitely one of the OG... way back when the F first came out! Seems like it's a different crowd now... anyways, I'm excited to see what's next!

Love your car in that pic with your GTR. Anymore pics with the yellow calipers? I think that looked really good.

I was about to ask if you're getting a GTR next, then saw your IS-F + GTR pic

Hmm, CTS-V?

Were your lower driving lights yellow from the bulb or did you spray the lense? Do you have a mod list to what you had on the car?

I said buhbye to my '08 white isf two weeks ago as well. Had it for 3 yrs and loved it as a daily driver. Made a one week decision to do the trade for a new blue '12 gtr. Overall I am impressed with significant revisions and upgrades that helped me make the decision.
