Congrats!

You will have to roll/shave your rear fenders for a 19x10 +42.

congrats, you will love the ISF. You can use the F sport rear sway and the rims with some fender mods, just sell off the rest.

Damn I don't wanna do that and I kinda like the stock rims. Maybe I should just sell them.

Luckily I just purchased the F-Sport shocks/springs. I just setup an RMA to Sewell. 10% but easy.

Update:
Just talked to Forgestar. They said the wheels will not fit properly. So I have a set of Forgestar F14F for sale. Anyway what are the recommended sizes/offset for the IS-F? Guess I gotta order some new rims.

nice upgrade I wonder how much did they took in for your trade in and the mileage? I am thinking to trade my 07 IS350 fully load with 14000 miles, I wonder much would my car get?

not much modding you can do with the ISF unless you want cosmetic stuff. But you can do a intake and exhaust. Cooling seats are not available on the ISF

Lovely color. I think that is the best color on a ISF IMO :-)

exahust, intake, wheels, coils, and a splitter front lip would set this off perfectly, without breaking the bank much more than you have.

I think I'm just gonna go JoeZ intake + exhaust for now. I'm worried about emissions though.

I had some serious buyers remorse this morning when looking at my bank statement.. but then I drove it and that all went away!!!

A few more picks of my new sweetie!





You even got a bonus flip-flop candid.

WELL I got some sad news today. Took the IS-F to Lexus and they were able to let me know the car had been in quite a bad accident. Didn't have OEM headlights anymore even. I asked how it didn't show up on carfax or autocheck and they said it happens.

I was able to return the car to the dealer within 72 hours if anything came back wrong on the inspection. So for now I'm back in the IS350.

AWWW man that suck azz dude. Who ever sold you that car was trying to pull a fast one on you. You are lucky to have found out it was hit. Post the VIN up here and from who you bought it from so others know not to buy it.
