i think the 550 is pretty cool, if he did do a legit engine swap to a 5.5 liter engine then why not?? its no longer an IS 3.50 liter engine, so the name IS350 would be wrong, and then every other IS350 owner that sees that goes... huh?, and the IS-F guys question their purchase lol

not sure about the sponser stickers though

as for the car.... veryyyy nice

Nice car! I'd prefer debadging the back instead of IS550 though.

That's Tanabe coilovers? The front seems like it needs more drop.

the question is if the swap is real or not.. if there is truly no swap, take the badge off man.. be proud of what you bought.. putting a fake badge and not being sponsored is wrong

here is a perfect example of what i saw the other night.. wtf?

I think if he had a motor swap you would have heard about it already.

If you have a legit engine swap to a 5.5 liter engine, then the emblem can stay. I think the VVT-i emblem should go though. How did you fit a 5.5 liter V8 where a 2.5 liter V6 was? Pics?

The car looks good overall, but it screams for a BBK! Nicely done otherwise

Stickers aren't bad. Not my cup of tea but it doesn't bother me. Although, I would like to know if it really is a 5.5 liter because if it's not, shame on you. The car looks gorgeous though, good work.
