Where to buy the CF hood?

Hi @Imac33, thanks for your interest. Actually we can get you any NOVEL part you need. We recently met up with the NOVEL team in Japan for Tokyo Auto Salon. They're an awesome group of people that are really interested and passionate about becoming a true global aftermarket brand for Lexus.

I sent you a PM. Feel free to message me back at any time!

Thanks,

Bo

So, maybe it's just me, but from what I can tell from all the social media I've seen of Novel at the Nurburgring, Novel has just rebranded an IS-F CCS-R? Hood, rear diffuser (TRD), front splitter, even the wheels are from the CCS-R. Not very good for marketing if you ask me (or at least not very good for marketing Novel aero)!

Novel did crash their F. It might have been the one with all their original aero then being the CCSR was there maybe it was loaned out to them and they put on their Novel stickers... Im just guessing.

Both look nice (Novel Aero and TRD OEM Toyota parts). But yes, if they are advertising on a ISF, they may want to switch the car to to have their own parts not the TRD parts..... unless its for a short while. It almost makes it seem like they are advertising TRD instead.

Hey guys, just to clear things up, that wasn't the actual NOVEL ISF track car they've been building. They teamed up with a race team in Europe that had a different track prepped ISF and they basically made a clone to compete while their ISF was being worked on. So all of those CCS-R parts are all legit and the NOVEL livery was placed their as a partner sponsor.

There are 2 NOVEL ISF's right now so don't worry, they still have one in their stable.

Now... check out those amazing fenders!!...

BP, do you know how much damage was done to Novel's F that hit the guardrail?

That thing is all business. Looks like RR Racing's F

From what I hear the damage wasn't too bad. They assessed the damage and it seems like they should be back up and running soon if they haven't finished the repairs already.

NOVEL didn't mess around. They are a super premium brand and I know firsthand they've been striving to be one of the top Lexus aftermarket brands in the world, not just for quality but for style and brand image. They're super cool guys to boot.
