Default Sameer's SGM ISF Introduction

Hello All,

I recently acquired my 2010 SGM ISF about 2 months ago from Pohanka Lexus in Northern Virginia. I'd been searching for an ISF for close to a year and finally found the ISF I wanted in the color combination (SGM on Black Leather), 2010+ (w/ LSD), Certified Pre-Owned through Lexus, and fully dealer maintained (CarFax documented every 5k miles for oil changes and scheduled maintenance) and of course, relatively low mileage (picked it up with 39,xxx).

So far, I've been loving every aspect of this car! The dealer worked with me on the price as the front bumper had two holes from the front license plate holder. Thankfully we don't need front plates in Florida and it was the first thing I fixed when I drove it down. Being the **** person I am with my cars, I decided to get the entire front end refinished to get rid of any highway chipping. The car is absolutely perfect now.

With out further due, I'll let the pictures do all the talking!

19'' Volk ZE40's put on two days ago 19x8.5 +33 w/ 245/35 Hankook V12 and 19x9.5 +40 w/ 275/30 Hankook V12. The rears were slightly rolled to accommodate the wheel/tire size and the end results speak for itself. I've always enjoyed the OEM+ look and always take the direction with all of my car builds.

Very nice! That's what I need to do to my front end is completely refinish the front bumper and hood because of the previous owner not putting a clear bra on the front end

Either way congrats car looks great

Very well done. Loving the bronze ZE40s! And good call with the no front plate. Wish all states would adopt that, instead of ticketing for the sake of generating menial revenue.

What are your plans upcoming for the F? Continue enjoying yours!

Thank you! Yeah, it would've drove me nuts to see a freshly painted bumper and then the hood and front of the fenders to have chips in the front end.

Thank you. The F is really a swiss army knife and does everything so well. I have the RR Racing USRS coming in next week to install. Looking at either the DownForce or TOM's front lip to purchase next. May look into some aftermarket suspension, but would like to get a bit more acquainted with the chassis before I start messing with it. Clearing over parking blocks is a plus

Sweet lookin' F esp. with the ZE40s.

I know what you mean about those parking blocks, I can't seem to keep away from 'em.

Makes a worlds difference and honestly with the car being almost 6+ years old - it looks brand new and up-to-date with the GSF/RCF still The technology could be updated, but honestly I'm more interested in the platform as a drivers car. It still has all the creature comforts you could ever want.

Thanks! Hate those parking blocks, lol. I have the RR Racing USRS coming in this week, so I'm sure it will tighten up the front end nicely and hopefully stray me away from lowering it.

Nice!

I have the downforce lip and I like it! Fitment is perfect and doesnt hang too low, but will still scrape on some driveway entrances. :/ It's also like half the price of a Toms. Looking forward to seeing your build!

very nice. When I got mine I should have had it sprayed too. The original owner never had a bra on the car. I hit with the Dr colorchip and clear bra'd over the chips ghetto style. LOL. Figured I was going to be hitting the track so Id paint it later lol.

Congrats brother and may happy miles to you. I dont care what anyone says either, those are the nicest oem wheels for the ISF

Best colour by far!

Glad to see another good looking SGM F running around.

Liking what you've done so far, the RR-Racing USRS is awesome! One of my favourite mods so far.

Keep up the great work!
