Looks sick bro.. Seen it on instagram. Don't understand all the hate. Dude bought an ISF because he wanted one, shouldn't matter what he does or doesn't do to it. Break necks all day homie!!

Nice setup bro! I'm heavy into the stance scene, so I actually appreciate, like a few others do, the work that went into it.
I wondered this as soon as those rims on your F but are you running a custom dish on the rims???

What wheels are next man? A lot of the hate comments are funny to me. About ruining a performance car ect. When in reality 90% of the people on here don't track their F, never will and barely drive it hard. Basically drive it back and forth to work. Yea you could do that with an IS 250 too and could have saved $30k. Lmao

I guess with this style alot of hate always has to be anticipated. Some of the comments don't sound any different than the subaru crowd really. You can bag any car. Doesn't matter the intent really. But I know how it's gonna come with the "it's a race car not meant to be bagged" comments. Same with the Subaru crowd over on NASIOC lol. A "race car" nobody races lol
Too each his own though. Everyone likes what they like

Hate? WTF? Hate is this.
What is this BS politically correct, free speech killing term "hate"? Because someone disagrees with you, it has to be hate? Grow some 'nads and quit being a thin skinned chick. Really - just because someone doesn't like something it's now "hate" like the idiotic term "hate" crime? Who really give a flying F if you're motivated by hate or just plain stupidity? I don't. Criminal is criminal. Prosecute, sentence, execute. That simple.
Some people think taking a car designed for mechanical performance and turning it into a bosozoku contender is a waste.
Here's the deal and it's been true since the very first days of hot rodding - there are mechanical performance vehicles and there are visual performance vehicles. Turning a mechanical performance vehicle into a visual performance vehicle offends everyone who bought an overweight four door sedan with visions of beating Michael Schumacher (or really Kimi Raikkonen) around the track. Really? Get off the leg you silly yard dog, this is NOT a race car no matter what you would like to believe.
OTOH, Lexus did a lot of homework to make this car a driver's car. To be fun at the track even after most other sedans would be begging for mercy (about 10 laps into a session). Really? You want to make it look like a caricature? Bosozuku? Because to someone focused on mechanical performance, this is what you're doing. And it's offensive. Why? Because some idiot in an M3 or a C63 AMG is going to see you, take a pic and post it on the web and say "What kind of idiot buys a 400+ hp car and does this to it?" Making all the efforts of the mechanical performance people seem completely and totally in vain.
Maybe a lot of you missed CARS2. I didn't. What did I see? Japanese imports focused on flashy light shows, not on mechanical performance. That's the public impression of import performance. Sorry to say it, but it's true, and visual performance cars do nothing to dispel this perception.
Why did a guy stop in the parking lot at Kroger in the bloody pouring rain today and honk at me and my 26 week pregnant wife? Not because I have a slammed car on bags. Because I have a bone stock looking Supra I drive in the rain (don't ever let your wife tell you a black car is the only color you can buy - I never drive my F in the rain if I can avoid it) and the guy couldn't believe it looked so (stock) good after 20 years. You have no idea how many times I have to say, "No, it's not for sale" when I drive my Supra.
So do what you will, and the comments will come, but really bagging a mechanical performance car diminishes the entire concept behind what the IS-F was intended to be. It only makes the rest of us work that much harder to dispel the belief the F is a joke and not a real contender from a mechanical performance perspective.
