The only hood I would get is a painted CF hood that looked stock.

 

Hmm, I guess you all have much better imaginations that me, because I can't tell what it would look like on the actual car.

 

I don't think it will looks good on IS since IS a not a street racing style car... IMO

 

if you want to replace, replace it with seibon. It'll look cleaner than this hood...

 

no please don't

 

Rice RICE rice. not thank you. you mite as well get one of thoughs clear hoods to show off your engine.

 

i say stay with what looks good eather get a cf hood that is the same as stock and paint it or get a carbon kevlar and hope it matches but that hood is ugly the is has good lines and you need something that adds to the lines. like my olds i put a cowl cf hood on it looks great and it adds to the car. also olds form the 60 and 70 had the style of hood so it goes with the car.

if i were to do anything i would smoth the car the 1/4 pannels in to the bumpers and rocker pannels

 

A painted CF hood would be defeating the main purpose of the CF hood: weight advantage. You're better off leaving it unpainted...unless you want it for looks/bragging rights.

 

Or maybe he wants the weight savings and rigidity of a CF hood but would like it to match the rest of his car...

 

they are seibon hoods.

The 1st pic posted was just a random hood.

2nd pic posted (by me) is the one meant for our ISx50

 

ew ew ew... that hood might be ok for those who are after drifter look-a-like cars, but u'd need a wide body kit, a huge CF wing, many uncoloured CF parts and loads of sticker to go with that.... can you say RICE!!!!

IMO, it doesn't look like something that belongs to a lexus
