Good thing Ventross isn't even making an IS-F hood....

In all honesty I saw this IS-F in person twice...

Once for an event in SoCal and the other was a few days at Sema 08 in Vegas.

I was very impressed with the CF work on this IS-F.

Joe, do you know if it has to be painted with a clear coat or can it be fitted straight on? Sorry, I have no idea on aero parts, and I have never had CF before.

This Just In..

The MotorworldHype.com/Ventross IS-F is gracing the Febuary issue of Super Street!

It just came out today and there is a lot of cool stuff in this issue besides the IS-F. Definately worth picking up if you see it.

AndyZ,

do the Volks rub? Are the fenders rolled? Any other mods to make the wheels fit?

The rear fenders are rolled but that was after we dropped the car.

If your car isn't dropped there is a chance that the fitment we used wouldn't rub but I'm not 100% certain on that.

At the risk of sound repetitive, do you know if it has to be painted with a clear coat or can it be fitted straight on?

To my knowledge, the parts will have a clear coat just as shown in the product photos.

Just needs to be installed when you receive it..
