Default Front Lip, Rear Diffuser, New Wheels, Thoughts?

After the Joe Z, Takeda intake, front lip, (with blacked out grille) new wheels, I just added the rear diffuser last weekend. If you live near Vancouver, B.C. Canada and the Pacific Northwest look for this 09 on the road. Thoughts?



Canadian Model, Matador Red, 2009 ISF

It's a clean look. The Tom's diffuser has an OEM-like character to it and it really flows with the rear of the IS F. It's just good to see another MRM modded. There aren't too many, and that's saying a lot considering SoCal has arguably the largest batch of IS F owners. Most of our meets, every other color is represented....except for the Matador Red. Keep it up! Looks good so far!

That's a very nice look, BJM.

Are those oem RCF wheels? And which front lip did you go with?

I was trying to keep from spending anything on appearance mods, but couldn't resist getting the Toms rear diffuser after seeing one in person on a friend's car.

Time for 2012 headlights

Replica tom's lip looks pretty good... is that painted a matte black, or is that the raw finished plastic?

Thanks for the comments. bnizzle87 what does MRM stand for? It came with the enclosed wheels, which are nice but prefer the new ones I bought. The front lip and diffuser where flat black so both where Plastic Dipped....

What other mods do you recommend?

Nice work! Car is looking sharp. You should come out to the next OpenRoad meet. I wouldn't mind hearing your intake in person.

This is solely your discretion. Personally, your aesthetics have been taken care of, unless you prefer going with a different set of wheels or coilovers for an adjustable ride height approach.

Performance parts are logically the next step. There are a few options for headers, and coupling them with the Joe Z exhaust will unlock a fair amount of power. For added power numbers, there are two tunes available for the US market, and both will gain even more HP as well.

The most important part is that you mod it the way you want. Forget others opinions or bias- this is your canvas to work on. Make it unique to you!
