I want those headlights that the matte black IS has! What temp are those lights anyways? Any guesses? Cuz they sure aren't OEM 4300. And they finally got the halo's right on the headlights. Nice IS overall...and ya...minus the vents :P.

btw im also very much looking forward to the model photos :P
those are used and the bolt pattern is for F1 cars I think

you can probably only use it for display only

They're just centerlocks...you'd have to make or get custom hubs/spindles for whatever you mount them on, and i think you'd either need wheel retaining straps or cotter pins to meet DOT requirements. They're probably stiff and light though.

Also, the IS-F racing concept definitely appears DTM geared rather than GT racing.

Why does the IS have flat black roof, trunk, and hood? Im not so sure I like that look with the regular paint everywhere else. Nice pics though
