Realize, you can cover crap with glitter, but it doesn't change the fact what it truly is.

So while others may THINK its an IS-F, the owner has to live with the simple fact...its not.

PapaHoff I saw your car at the Rallye Lexus meet, it looks pretty damn close to a real ISF!

Your sig says it best:

"- If you can't afford it, drive the car stock.
- promoting knock-offs is shameful on a car enthusiast site, not to mention companies who make/sell knock-offs."

to each their own to be honest... I would actually like to see on of these kits installed in person just to get a feel for how bad the fitment is going to be.
