That's funny the announcer thought that Lexus had 306 HP then proceeds to smoke the Mustang.

Did you have to shave or roll your fenders with the Tein Springs?

And any rubbing with your current setup?

Yeah we all got a kick out of it, even when you google ISF it pulls up is350 or the f sports.

The quarters are rolled. The front fenders have not been modded. I get some rubbling near full lock in reverse on the louvers in the passenger side liner.

Ya know. It still surprised me how much a roof rack does not look out of place on an F. Could be my answer instead of getting a truck lol.

I've been thinking of adding one to my ISF since I hate not being able to carry my bike on the F when the wife is out with the 4runner.

Have you got around to using it yet for the bike? Thoughts/Review?

Unfortunately not. I have had it on the car driving around to test for noise, but I'm between bikes at the moment. I saw a good deal for the rack and couldn't help myself.

I think it's either 160lbs or 180lbs. It's enough to put 2 or 3 track wheels on along with the cargo basket I have. Lol. Not something I would drive far with but for quick trips to home depot for home projects it's great. Not my photo but you get the idea.
