Where are your main areas of concern with the bumper fitment? In pics the gaps look really nice. I'm assuming around the headlight area?

Nothing to add about the car - I couldn't agree more.

I am glad to see another face from Supraforums here in the IS-F crew.

Wow!!

Car looks absolutely stunning!

What colour is that? Really works well with the lines and the updated front end.

Love seeing things like this.

Congrats!

No major issues but few here an there that bugs me.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I'm happy that the car is well received by the community.

That's the best the new spindle grill has ever looked, IMO. Well done.

Yup, it makes you wonder what could have been if Lexus developed a newer generation IS-F with a TVD, updated 2UR motor, etc.

Nice build!

Damn I wish the TRD kit was more readily available and at a much lower price point. Great looking car and great job.

I am really digging the gold paint with the red leather. Really unique and it works well

Oh wow haha... yes, that was a while back! We migrate a lot. I've noticed a lot of Supra guys moving towards the Lexus platform which is really cool especially when guys mod their ISF's like the one in this thread. It's really cool to reconnect with members from other forums. It shows how close the Toyota Lexus community is.

Yeah us supra owners are here always been lurking..

I think the car I had THE most fun in was my RHD Aristo... More than my mk4, mk3, F and JDM supra.

The aristo was just the right about of no ****s given, comfort and murderous power. I think it would be right around the same power as the F on the stock twins. However, the F is MUCH better on gas!

Mani, your car looks sweet and unique!
I gotta say though, that Front bumper looks like a well enough fit to be awesome to upgrade to!
.....any chance you may someday soon write a FAQ w/ some pics of how you've done it?

I met Mani and Ken during this SILV15 Meet. Mani's ISF color is even better in person. It was a pleasure meeting both of you guys and seeing your exceptional rides last weekend...Darshana S...
