tas02, those are all the pics I have from the Supra event. Trying to get more and I texted Mani to let him know I started this thread. Hopefully, he drops in and provides more pics and detail. The 2015 MY was my doing because of the updated front end.

Ken.

Nice. I can agree that TRD makes some top quality parts. Apparently the full package for the F costs about $70g's. You could buy two more F's at that price .

Hey all,
Don't post much here but I've been following this forum for a while. Thank you Ken for the thread. The car was just finished about two months ago. So far I'm loving it and enjoy driving it. My inspiration for the updated front bumper was from the 2014 SEMA car. Not totally happy with the fit of the front bumper so I'm looking at other options, including putting the stock bumper back on. Hoping to do a track day soon to stretch her legs a little. Couple of build pictures below.

Where do you get this bumper, this really looks amazing. It really looks like an ISF bumper with the OEM fogs etc. I am in, I want one.

The bumper is not a bolt on. Lot of cutting and shaping to fit. Difficult to get a Lexus quality fit out of it

Congrats on the amazing build...!!!

Why the almost complete tear down and mechanical parts pulled..??

Also for clarification.. what year is your IS F

Did you use the Lexus USA built Silver CCS-P for the donor parts ?? or did you import all new parts from TRD /Lexus Japan ??

Wow, amazing build so far! Everything works even down to the color choice! It's not your typical bright orange, green, or blue. It's elegant and aggressive. It's really nice. Well done sir.

Welcome to the IS F club

P.S. -> The CCS-P acronym stands for "Circuit Club Sports Parts"

Wow!
One can only hope Lexus brings around a new ISF that looks as good as that!
