Default DO you forsee plenty of tuner support for ISF

The new E92 M3 already has many aftermarket tuner support "Ericsson" just to name one. What are the chances for ISF? The RS4 has already been out for 2 years and to say the least there arent THAT many tuner who is willing to invest into these cars.
If ISF turns out to be like the RS I'd invest my $$ in the M3
Ericsson already has parts for the cf splitter lip, titanium exhaust, not to mention many cf cosmetic parts Nothing yet on the ISF.

The support for our 2 yrs old IS350 is sad too

Well don't forget the M3 has had 20 years to improve(not improve) evolve and that means tons of aftermarket support.

I think there will be some but not as much as the M3, this is a first effort from Lexus.

I doubt it. The IS-F is a first foray into the enthusiast market, and I simply don't believe that most people willing to buy a Lexus performance vehicle will look at aftermarket upgrades.

IMO: i think it would come but not right now since its just starting. they started the F-Sport line and im sure they will add to the line. I think the IS-F is trying to catch up to the M3 and try to earn the same name the M3 has, Speed and sport and mod able !

I seriously doubt there will ever be a "serious" horsepower mod for the IS-F, even from Lexus. It's not in Toyota's corporate culture to consider the possibility someone would want to modify their engine for more power.
