IS-F conversion on a stock IS250 with ugly wheels

 

@chrIS250 ugly wheels? I'm changing those chrome wheels for Vossen CV3 Graphite which I already purchased.

 

This is the third car I customize. I think I have good taste. You'll just have to wait a few weeks to see the end result.

 

what are you paying for the paint job

 

@dmrios88 all the materials came out to about $1500 plus $3000 for labor. So far the car is primered with all the seals removed, the bumpers and side skirts are next. The car is gonna be sealed before applying the paint to ensure the bumpers match the body.

 

Sorry but an ISF conversion on a 250 is not good taste

 

Please no isf bumper, get an is-c bumper or 2012 f sport bumper...but 4000.00 later, why not is350???.......

 

Word!!!

 

get some bbk if your going this route.. but i agree f conversion is lame unless you got a 2jz.

 

It looks like the car was in an accident in the front on the driver side. The bumper reinforcement is crushed, you know about that right?

 

@my07is350 yes sir, that's the only reason why I'm customizing the car because I bought it for $8000 with only 85k miles. The car was in a front collision and was given a rebuilt title, but it drives as good as new with no issues at all. I decided to spend an extra $10,000 to have it the way I want it. Some of you might say "you could've put a down payment on an ISF" but the ISF isn't worth the money, for the same price I could get a viper, z06, nsx, carrera,etc....(used of course). But I need the rear seats because I have 2 kids so this is just a toy to me, no payments all cash. So for those who are with me thanks for your support, as for the haters keep hating and keep making payments in your stock ISx50.

 

...on a second note, this is not a race car so I don't need a 2jz, v8, or a jet engine with 1,000,000 hp. I just wanna cruise it at speed limit, windows up, ac full blast.

 

...most of you people don't understand the concept of customizing a car. Anyone can throw nice rims and loud mufflers on a car. But I think it's better to go the extra mile and have your car stand out from the rest. I promise you I wont disappoint.

 

are you just doing front and rear bumpers?

if you search this forum, you'll find many people have already done OEM rear ISF conversion.

How would you address the ISF Front Bumper on stock isx50 Fender?

 

i applaud people that jump on deals on a salvage title. you can get STEAL deals like it sounds you did because a car was an in accident. and then people are like... 'IN AN ACCIDENT!? YOU DON'T WANT A CAR THAT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT!!! IT'S NOT WORTH AS MUCH!!" while they pay $500+/month on their brand new car off the lot. what's your cost each month? zero.

respect. nice work and good luck with the finished product. yea some people will whine that it's just a 250 with ISF parts but... oh well. i'll take nearly the same vehicle for $0/month as other people are paying 500x as much for. even if you had to replace a major component one day you'd still be ahead.
