Tell us what you think! There's another car that some of you may be familiar with as well

AND yes I know! this thing needs a desperate drop! The owner is working on it

The ride itself is MUCH better though so I think there is mixed reviews on this. I presume in a few days the springs will settle and I'll take more pictures. But these springs will be up for sale once more options are available.

Enjoy the pictures, sorry it was sundown so this is the best I can do. Yes my car is very dirty and the wheels are even worse, the picture show like they are curbed but they are not, it's just the brake dust being pushed around.

Here are some full pictures of our project in all its glory!

Hope you guys like it!

P.S. The front lip, rear diffuser, and carbon trunk with intergrated spoiler are all officially dropped now and are available through Ventross (a division of Vorsteiner). I'm not sure about the advertising policy on this site so I wont post the link but just google it and you should find it.

"Vorsteiner has officially announced Ventross: a sub division and brand under the Vorsteiner group, which will primarily focuses on high-end Japanese import vehicles sharing the same high end technology backbone from the Vorsteiner heritage.

The Lexus ISF that was originally built for Lexus North America for the 2008 SEMA show will boast the latest dry carbon fiber aerodynamics consisting of: VSF Dry carbon front add-on spoiler with center vent opening; VSF Dry carbon fiber lightweight rear boot lid with integrated wing profile (Up to 50% weight savings over factory steel unit); and VSF Dry carbon fiber add-on rear diffuser. A three-piece forged aluminum wheel set will also be available in 19- and 20-inch sizes.

The Lexus VSF concept project by Ventross was a joint effort with RJ De Vera and Motorworldhype.com In 2009 Ventross plans to build a full carbon fiber aerodynamic & light forged wheel package for the Nissan GTR, so stay tuned for details."













Enjoy everyone!

Guess I'll have to wait until next spring to swap them back.

I did go to Lexus to have them add the 2nd set of TMPS to my car's system. Tire Rack had installed them but they needed to be registered with the car. After a quick stop off to the dealership I was able to get them registered.

I couldn't get the car color to be accurate and the bulb color, so in the close up, I just tried to make the bulb true.

IS F by Import Tuner Magazine/TEIN

Lexus Description: Import Tuner Magazine and TEIN suspension company put their collective heads and expertise together to create an IS F that's focused on track performance, while still remaining practical for the street. Weight reduction, added chassis stiffness, special suspension and big sticky tires take care of the corners, while a comprehensive nitrous system boosts the engine for bursts of overtaking power. Coming soon to a track near you.

Autoblog's Take: What would an Import Tuner vehicle be without a healthy shot of NOS and a TEIN figurine? Certainly not up to the mag's idee fixe of bikini-clad babes and bright-colored body kits. Thankfully, TEIN was around to stop the madness with a set of coilovers equipped with its EDFC electronic damping system. The Tom's front and rear suspension braces should do wonders for chassis flex, along with the rear strengthening brace, and we can't deny any vehicle that's sporting stitch-welded body seams, adjustable front control arms and biggie-sized Brembo GTs. We give it five points for a complete package, but deduct two points for excessive vinyl usage.

Exterior

* Five Axis dry carbon front lip
* Black chrome dipped emblems and front grill
* Smoked headlights
* S&A Design vinyl

Interior

* Bride racing seats (Brix II for driver, Xax II for passenger)
* Custom tinted interior trim
* TEIN Dampachi mascot

Engine

* NOS 12.8 lbs composite bottle
* Nitrous bottle opener
* Single fogger wet nitrous system
* Quick release bottle bracket
* Ntimidator dual LED purge kit

* K&N intake
* Tom's Linear Throttle Controller

Exhaust

Suspension/Chassis

* TEIN re-valved Comfort Sport monotube coilovers with Electronic Damping Force Control (EDFC)
* SPD Metal Works adjustable fr. upper cont. arms
* M1 Fabrication stitch-welded body seams (strategic locations)
* Tom's upper performance rod
* Tom's front and rear suspension member braces
* Tom's rear body strengthening brace

Wheels

IS F by 0-60 Magazine

Lexus Description: With track performance a common theme among IS F builders, 0-60 Magazine ups the ante on their IS F project with a supercharger to tease out another load of horses from the big V8. Carbon fiber body components reduce weight while lowering the center of gravity and a custom roll cage adds stiffness and protection. A beefy brake upgrade kit was added to balance the performance equation.

Autoblog's Take: We know first-hand that the 0-60 crew knows how to drive (we rode with Spinelli in a GT-R), so it's no surprise that the buff book's IS F blends the right amount of power with the proper dose of stick. Although they haven't provided us with output figures for the GReddy-supercharged bent-eight, our educated guesstimation puts it somewhere in the neighborhood of 550 hp. That extra grunt and the carbon fiber body panels should do a lot to cure the IS F's biggest issue: weight. And with a custom roll cage, TEIN suspension, upgraded brakes and a set of Yokohama Advan RZ wheels wrapped in Hankook Ventus EVO V12 rubber, this is the first IS F we'd actually like to drive. We await a call from Mr. Scotto.

Exterior

IS F by MotorworldHype.com

Lexus Description: MotorworldHype has taken another path that is a bit less aggressive, yet more easily accessible for the average consumer. Lots of carbon to reduce some unwanted mass and a well-rounded package of suspension, brake, engine and cosmetic changes provide sharper responses in all directions.

Autoblog's Take: Show before go or a well-rounded package? The MotorworldHype IS F is equipped with all the tried-and-true show-car standards: Volk TE37s, Michelin Pilot Sport 2s, a carbon fiber splitter and diffuser, along with a Brembo GT front brake package. While this IS F might be a good representation of what your standard owner might do to his V8-powered luxo-sedan, we can't help feeling like this one was phoned-in.

Exterior

* Carbon fiber aero package featuring carbon front chin/splitter and rear diffuser
* Weight reduction package featuring carbon fiber replacement trunk lid
* Lexus Starfire White paint
* Gloss black emblems
* Gloss black window sills and roof
* Matte black tips

Brakes

IS F by Fox Marketing/Artisan Performance

Lexus Description: Fox Marketing and Artisan Performance teamed to create this subtle yet aggressive makeover of the already aggressive IS F. The subtle part involves the numerous bodywork changes, which enhance rather than rethink the lines of the IS F, making it look even more muscular in the process. 'Aggressive' can be applied to the engine which gets the full twin-turbo treatment. Fox expects the changes will yield something north of 600 horsepower.

Autoblog's Take: We've already gotten the details and a few pics of the Fox Marketing/Artisan Performance IS F, and we're suitably impressed with the custom body kit, burnt-orange hue, blacked-out roof and iForged wheels. Add a bespoke twin-turbo setup, JE pistons and Crower rods good for an estimated 600+ horsepower and we're willing to overlook the custom Callaway golf club set in the trunk. But what we can't overlook is the lack of braking upgrades and the simple set of Eibach lowering springs. Balance is key, and that's the only thing the Fox/Artisan IS F is lacking.
