This is just wrong on so many levels. Welcome to the world of I steal this from you, that from him...... and try and make something out of it. Ripping designs off is nothing to be proud of not matter how good you "think" it is....it's still a rip off. The end results speak for themselves.

I kinda agree with you. I don't mind adding one or two OEM accessories from IS-F to my IS350, but trying to make it look exactly like an IS-F is just too much for me, it's like BMW 325/330i or A4 owners trying to make their cars look like an M3 or S4, with their FRP replica bumpers dragging on the ground... I've owned an E36 M3 in the past and a B5 S4 now, I have seen it enough, and I don't appreciate those people who made my cars look cheap

It doesn't really look like an IS-F.... it looks like the Five Axis IS-F, which is completely different... and they (Troy Sumitomo and his team) worked really hard to develop.
This thing has a lot of similarities to the Five Axis, I think thats what the post above yours was referring to.

Default The Korean IS-F lookalike kit...

Two of friends that own IS250 in macau got the kit on... and one of them was so badly done... gaps everywhere!

But the other one come out well and here are some pictures (the pictures are bad, will take better pictures when we have the meet in mid Sep)

Enjoy...

IMO the kit looks ok but really need a VERY VERY GOOD paint job however in Macau there isn't one GOOD paint shop...
