Default ISF IS350 Fenders

Do the ISF fenders fit the IS350 ? Or any aftermarket ones?

YES AND NO!!! Your right the IS-F fenders are bigger than the standard IS fenders

YES it is a direct fit and will line up with hood, bumper, and doors.

NO because the side skirts are one piece and a part of the front fenders.

So you would need to purchase both fender and side skirts to get it to match as seen below

Came across this picture a while ago. Doesn't look like he's using isf fenders. Looks like sort of isf style side skirt that attaches onto IS fenders.

Both Aimgain and Artisan Spirits make fender kits for the isx50.

So does that mean that the ISF fenders and side skirts will bolt on to the isx50? I prefer sticking to oem cuz custom body kit installs are such a pain to do.

Ummmm.... what? The ISF fenders are definitely NOT a direct fitment. They are 2" longer than the regular ISx50's. Since the ISF is wider also there will be a 1" gap from the fender to the hood also. You can make it fit but you need to hack up pieces completely, reweld, bondo ect. to make them smaller to fit a regular IS.

The ISF side skirts will actually fit without hacking, you need to cut the ISF fenders in half and shorten them then do a lot of work up to to make the hood line up since there is a huge gap.

Check out this thread for a guy who did the conversion.

That's the kind of information I wanted to know. Yup, not gonna do it. I love the ISF side profile look but not enough to wanna go through that trouble.

It's gonna be a lot of work to retrofit that IS-F Side to the ISX50. If you do it you'll be one of a kind and stand out for sure. I've seen one on a IS300

I know this is an old thread but stumbled across this in a search. That red car is from RD lexus. They make front end conversions, rep stuff , and those ISF "style" side skirts. Company out of domican republic I think. Don't know much about them but I definitely dig the GS conversion.
