Hey everybody, new ISF owner here (purchased 6 May 2019). Picked up this beautiful 2011 USB ISF w/52k miles on the odo from Denver, Colorado (drove back 958 miles from Colorado to California, best 13 hour drive ever). Pretty much all stock minus a K&N Typhoon intake and borla catback (just picked up yesterday, plan to install this coming wednesday).
Recently ceramic coated with Carpro Cquartz UK 3.0 on 8 June 2019.

Quick August Update
Just a quick update:
Installed RR Racing Bazooka tips (in place of borla mufflers)
Purchased USB paint-matched Ventross CF Trunk (waiting to get in the mail before install)
Purchased OEM Black Pearl front Lexus emblem (waiting to get in mail)
Purchased OEM intake from Club Lexus Member (waiting for tracking details)
Tossing around idea of using Duplicolor's Shadow kit to paint rear emblems black chrome for new CF trunk
Overall the cars coming along nicely!

Ventross Trunk Installed!
Finally got this beauty installed! Was challenging figuring out how to mount the trunk components but after all was said and done, looks great. Did a quick compound/polish and ceramic coat to protect the paint. Will eventually get the small knicks repaired but for now, just gonna enjoy it!
big thanks to @DekNgo for the solid deal!!

Novel Diffuser
Just got my Novel diffuser earlier today. Could not wait to get it on the car. Took roughly 1.5 hrs once i figured out how it was supposed to be put together. Very sturdy and definitely an attention-getter.
Novel diffuser installed
Took about 1.5 hrs (had to figure out how this was going to be installed as there were no instructions available from Novel)
Time to rake some leaves

Very nice. I’m watching this and the alphyga GT4 diffuser that has yet to be released. Both look very functional.

Do you have a picture of the prototype? I havent heard anything about that. The Novel was definitely on the "want" list, just came across a good deal and happen to have the funds available. It's definitely one of those pieces that you either think is horrendous or beautiful lol.

This is the only pic they released. It was supposed to have been completed by now. I asked for an update, but did not receive one. If it is anything like their RCF GT4 diffuser, it will be excellent. They completed a milder diffuser based on the CCSP diffuser, but I’m not going mild on my build. I want aero that really makes a difference.

Is it just me or does the trunk not line up properly? I noticed on the driver side on your pics the lights don’t line up perfectly. The trunk light looks higher then the light on the quarter panel.
