I can't believe the size of the exhaust; it looks almost as big as the stock one on the IS 300

The exhaust is the first thing I noticed on the car. I can stick my hand in there.

If anybody is wondering how they got the car to look still while everything else around it is moving (which is a very cool effect that gives more of the feeling of the viewer driving and being in motion rather than just watching someone else drive)... you basically just have to get a truck or some other vehicle on a platform and then match the speed of the camera man's vehicle to the speed of the vehicle in the picture almost exactly, then set the lens to where it stays open a little longer than usual (to get more of a motion blur from the objects around the car), and then snap away.

I'm not into photography, but I just read how to do that a while back on a website because I thought it was such a cool effect.

The things above the rear windshield are some sort of air diffuser. They claim to provide additional downforce at high speeds. Read that in a recent Autoweek.
