FYI the car above was used for hot laps by Lexus Racing, so I'm sure the cost was just eaten.

Also, the holes to mount the wing don't line up. Mike showed me that there were literally holes in the trunk lid with some tape over them. Pretty janky. Though supposedly they're returning the car to stock before auctioning it off.

It would be cool to have something like the RC F TE wing aftermarket, I agree. Not my style, but I must say it looks all right.

I think you can just order the Artisan Spirits wing if you're willing to pay fat stacks of cash.

Edit: this is the same body kit they used for the Sema IS 350, but for the IS 500. I'm a stock guy so I'd never do it, but I do kind of like it

Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for, but no kidding, the price... sheesh. Not sure I'd pay that much for a wing, plus the cost of the trunk mod for it. That's probably the price of the RCF track carbon fiber wing if Lexus ever sold it.

And wow, that picture, that actually looks quite amazing. I'm usually not a fan of body kits but daaaaaaaaaaamn. They even have the ISF fender opening... beautiful.

Same on both points. It’s pretty damn sexy!

LOL! They’ve made such a big deal about it, I think they’re losing the media war. I’m seeing more people on YT say: “It’s a damn IS F, I don’t care what anyone says.”

I’d rather we lean in to the FSP’ness, but I may be an island at some point.

With the crazy amount of pollen in the air, I really didn't want to be outside for the length of time it would take me to wash the cars by hand. So, I found a touchless place near me. It works all right, probably about as good as any touchless place I've been to.
