Reading this thread is too funny...some of the people writing comments about the car being a fake or fraud are the same people running replica wheels..

I don't feel strange at all when I first saw this post. We do this "IS250-to ISF-look" alot in Thailand. We have a reason. This is because a new IS250 costs around USD 110,000 and ISF is around USD 250,000 in Thailand (if you can find one or have guts to import it from Japan). Therefore, It is not sensible to buy an ISF in Thailand. Many of us IS enthusiasts in Thailand just scratch our itches by converting the IS250 into ISF, this is done on the exterior just for look only as mostly the engines are still 2.5 V6. Personally, I am proud of the originalilty of my 250 and never consider converting to ISF on my car. But, like many people say, to each their own....

However, I don't see the reason of doing ISF conversion in the US since the ISFs are quite easy to find and the price difference between the two models is not very high. Converting IS250 to ISF isn't economical justified.
