I'd take the hood on the CCS-P for sure but for the price Lexus is looking for I doubt it is worth it. I'm sure you could find some similar louvers somewhere and have a good shop fabricate them into the hood for a fraction of the price.

Yeup.. Below I linked a dedicated (now) "Locked Thread" discussing the Japan Launch of these parts & the perspective prices of the Lexus IS-F CCS-P = "Circuit Club Sports Parts"

Lexus IS-F CCS-P (Circuit Club Sports Parts) by TRD Japan

But I guess we can use this thread to continue the discussion(s)... (sigh)

I love Nebula Grey Pearl + that hood!

We tried to buy our CT in that color but they didn't have it in stock so we went with the normal silver....

My comments did not imply that the rotors were stock in any way. I mentioned the hats and the fact that the front rotors were slotted and the rear drilled as being strange. I did say, however, that the calipers looked like stock F Brembo pieces, but that the pads were probably different. The fronts appear to be six puckers and the rear 2 - like stock. To me, the caliper assemblies look stock.

Understood...

So like I said the Rears are just about as OEM / Stock as you can get..

The Fronts are NOT.. (at all) Calipers or the obvious 2 - Piece Slottled Floating Rotors

See exterior brake fluid transfer line on the bottom of the Brembo Race Caliper..

I want that front lip and hood!!!! I really wish Lexus would've teamed up with Recaro or Bride to produce a reclineable race seat (similar to the Subaru STI, EVO, etc) for our F's

To make that part of our next SoCal F meet would be pretty cool. Would be impressive to see all of our F's at Lexus HQ.

@ Joe - Do you know what the circular cutout is for on the right front fender?

It would be impressive..!!!

Looks to be like the port for the compressed air line, for the "Air Jack System"
