Anyone tried the CF version? Looks like it's from the same vendor as the ABS one. I haven't found one offered in obsidian and by the time you pay to paint it you're likely around the cost of the CF.

Oh sweet. Looks like I'll go that option. I like the idea of ABS more but don't feel like painting it.

I'm confused on what color is close to MM. they have Glacier Frost #074 but I thought that was closer to white?

its close enough but you can see a bit of a difference

08-14 ISF paint code.
06-13 IS250/350 Paint code.

^^^^. Couple of things:

1. There is a difference between a mica paint and a metallic paint. Metalic has metal flake.

2. Mercury Metallic (1F2) did not come on the 2014 ISF. It was replaced by Liquid Platinum (1J2)

3. The closest color to MM (1F2) is Tungsten Pearl (1G1). My wife had an '08 ES350, when they were parked side by side in the garage they looked like the same color, except when they were in sunlight and you could see the metal flake in mine.

^^^^You can do it with a large drill. Takes awhile, but really not too hard.

Yes, you will get a cel unless you install an o2 Conditioner that you can get from PPE.

There is already a thread on this. I've done it. My suggestion, get the car on a lift. You will get a check engine for catalyst inefficient. You need O2 conditioners. I am running the RR racing one and it has worked wonderfully.

a couple of things. i really got spoiled by the tight handling of my 370Z and have notcied how "floaty" the F can be over corners and even triple digits. im not a big suspension guy and never done any suspension mods before but im looking at the USRS from RRracing. will that help quite a bit of the handling situation? i really dont want to change the suspension dynamic too much except get everything "tighter." i was also thinking the F-Sport rear sway bar as well. inputs from anyone? im not interested in lowering my car as it is a DD.

^^^^Oh, YES Indeed:

See this thread:

My Post is on Pg. 11:

As well as improved handling, you'll get improved brake response due to much lessoned dive. I recommend them highly.

I also have the F-Sport rear bar, I recommend that also

thank you so much. ive been looking into this for a while and you've sold me. now is the FIGS more "looser" than the USRS from RR? someone noted its a 90 bushing compared to the 95 RR uses. also a lot of ppl put the rear sway bar on but i havent heard too much for the FRONT sway bar...that necessary?

Front sway bar is the same diameter as the f-sport front sway bar, from what I understand.
