No badges. If you don't have an ISF don't advertise it IMHO. You can have all the pieces and parts, but the badges are too much. Is like putting a volk sticker on some varrstoens.

You say your car is not an ISF but you like the look of the ISF.....so why are you putting the badges on the car?

In my honest opinion, it seems like your contradicting yourself by putting the badges on because as someone mentioned, your missing the hood, brakes, etc. It makes it look like your trying to pass your 250 off for a F. I would put the IS250 badge back on

Nice

but the ISF badges gotta go.

The body parts are fine but you're trying to pull a fast one if you're switching badges.

Looks nice, but it's not a real is-f. The money could have been better spent on a is350.

Sorry, but that is crap with the ISF emblems on there. Backwards wheels, wrong taillights, wrong mirrors, wrong interior, wrong motor, wrong brakes, wrong suspension, wrong hood, wrong fenders, your exhaust isn't connected to all four exhaust tips, missing spoiler. Remove those badges, and it would be a tad bit more acceptable.

Isn't the real IS-F exhaust not connected to all four tips anyway??

There are connected. The ISF mufflers have two outlet tubes per side.

To each their own. I personally have IS250 badges on my ISF.
