Default World Premier:The Professor SP1 & TOM's meet MM IS F

Well sort of . Those of you that attended The Pursuit a few months back saw my car. For the rest of folks that haven't this is what I've been up to.

My IS F is on the cover of the 2011 Tanabe catalog and (Tanabe owns SSR Wheels) that is being mailed to dealers tomorrow and is also featured in the 2011 SSR wheel catalog that is also being mailed to dealers tomorrow. Some of you may have noticed it's also on the rotating picture on their home page. The pictures from that shoot were done a few weeks ago with a male model (that is not me) at Redondo Beach at sunset.

http://www.tanabe-usa.com/ Hit refresh if my car does not show up on the main page.


The pictures below are from a photo shoot I did a few months ago. Tanabe/SSR rented the photo studio at Source Interlink (publishers of Import Tuner, Modified, Hot Rod and many other popular titles) for my car, a G37 and a widebody G35. It was truly an honor to have my car photgraphed by a professional and the studio that has been the scene of many a magazine cover shoot.

Specs on the car are as follows.

Suspension:

KW V3 coilovers
F Sport rear sway bar

Exterior:

TOM's carbon rear diffuser
TOM's carbon side skirts
TOM's carbon front lip with undertray
Carbon fiber eBay rear roof spoiler
3M Crystalline window film
3M Clear Bra
Black pearl emblems

Interior:

LS460 door locks
Blue illuminated door sills
Valentine 1 hardwired with custom rear view mirror mount
Navigation override
TOM's throttle controller

Wheels:

SSR Professor SP1 with custom color (no the finish is not SBC and no I won't tell anyone what the color is )

Front:20 X 9
Rear: 20 X 10 1/2
Tires: Toyo T1R

See previous post for wheel specs.

Exhaust:

Prototype HKS SSM (updates to the existing thread to follow soon)

Intake: Joe Z (Blue) with aFe drop in oiled filter.

Brakes: Project Mu NS compound front and rear brake pads.

Special thanks as always to: My wife, Tanabe/SSR, KW Suspension, HKS USA, Greddy Performance Products, Mackin Industries - PMU brake pads, Auto Talent, Tint Factory and Toyo Tires. Various people at each of these companies have helped with my car. Last but not least the members of Club Lexus for the information I've learned from being on here.
