Happy? Find me a better pic to use for the front end
Hmn if I have freetime tommorow I'll just cut the headlights orient them correct; scale the grille in and fill the lower grill slat; should be a better rendition then

What the IS-F needs is a butt lift, not a face lift. The face looks fine, but the *** is Asian. We need to make it look like a Latina.

what it needs is an *** lift. I think the stacked exhaust is SO lame. Its trying to hard to be noticed. I really hope lexus doesnt integrate this design cue into its future F cars or the next generation ISF
