Default I upgraded my molded Wald spoiler.

Hey guys. I posted a couple of weeks ago that I got my Wald spoiler molded. Well, even though it looked really nice, I felt like something was missing, so I made a little change.

Here's how it looked when I got it done:





Here's how it looks now.



I think it looks better now. What do you think?

LOL, your post is misleading. I thought that you added IS-F tips on your IS for a second until I read your signature that said IS-F.. lol

Hey guys, thanks for the comments! I swapped bumpers and taillights with an F! I'm already debadged, so it's easy to fool people into thinking I have an F. I changed my signature cause my car looks like an F, so I might as well call it one!

lol, just kidding. I traded in the 350 for the F. The dealer let me swap the trunks. Easy swap too. It's tough to see, but the right side sits high by like a mm or so, so I need to make adjustments. I also think I'm going to stick the "F" only, on the back. Since my holes are filled, I'll just cut the stem off the F. I made sure to debage the swapped trunk to take the "F".

I'll admit, your post scared the ***** out of me, lol. It's fine though. From that thread you posted:

What might appear as a gap is actually a dark shadow. The gap is "normal" and is the same on the ISF and ISX50. I've lightened a portion of the image showing the normal gap and eliminating most of the shadow.

I just went and looked at my trunk and it looks the same. Also, when I swapped the trunks, if the OEM F trunk truly was longer, I think it wouldn't have fit when I bolted it up to the 350. You had my heart racing for a minute though, lol.

HAHA... Man it's the lighting that gave it the illusion of a bigger gap... It's good to see more F's in AZ. I haven't seen too many on the road.

I was gonna ask you to sell me your stock IS-F wing... I guess thats out of the question haha

That wing would have looked good with my new F-Sport wheels I have coming my way.
