the Front Brace and Trapezoid Brace from GSF as shown in this picture, it's directly fit.And it really improves the feeling of chassis,it becomes much firmer but not too rigid.However,I think the better center of gravity of 2ur also helps

Interesting that both the front brace & trapezoid brace are an exact fit! The Rear body brace I take it is where they do not fit 100%? With the 17 IS rims, what is your tire setup?

Yeah,the 4gen gs changes a lot at the rear in chassis so it can't fit. It's a 2017 IS rims and is 18inch,I still use pirelli p7c2 with the stock square 245/40 size now and it's OK for me,no tyre roll with vsc on.

I think the F-style tips would look amazing. Would give the little hint that your build is unique. I look forward to more updates if you do it

Yeah I agree.i will update the thread if i do it.
Maybe I'll try to put the stock gsf catback on it, the exotic sound of gsf at low rpm is great.

That is a fantastic idea & I agree with you on that! Can attest with you about the low GSF rpm sound, as it sounds fantastic

I'm curious,

What headers did you use? Stock isf? Did it require any modification to fit?

Always wondered if gs460 owners could use the ls460 and isf headers.
