Forget a truck if you have an ISF.

Some rolling shots of my car that you necessarily don't have the opportunity to get unless someone is there to shoot for you!




Had 6 more good pics but they were over the 10 meg limit to upload

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is how to photograph a vehicle. In motion, at low light and with an absolutely gorgeous background.

I particularly like the reflection of the shooter's car in the 1st & 3rd pics. Is it an RCF?

No, it's my buddy's 09 ISF rolling as the camera car

Funny thing was that I was suppose to have my calipers done before the drive and that fell through due to a scheduling conflict with the shop

Would've been nice to have the calipers done for sure, but next time I'll have them done, and have some more pics to add to this thread with them painted!

Thx for the compliments!

Calipers in any color other than black are over-rated. The orange calipers on the wife's GS F show brake dust 5 minutes after leaving the car wash, and the stickers Lexus put on them are not clear coated, so wheel cleaners destroy them on the first round.

I really like the IS F's black calipers and my glossy black wheels. They just look matte when they're covered with brake dust, and that beats the snot out of cleaning them daily to maintain a decent appearance.

Best of luck with the new color.

Oh, before I forget, I will NEVER again let the wife convince me a black car is a good idea...

Thanks appreciate it!
Yea I've thought about brake dust and how quick it'll dirty up the new color, but I still want to give it a try and see how they look. I've never had nice 6 piston calipers before and I've always wanted them to have a nice stand out color so this will be the first

Lol.... on the black color I hear ya, I've had my fair share of black cars over the years and they look great when they're clean! But *** when they're dirty

Some of the pictures I snapped last weekend during a meet-up / cruise. Being around these cars made me want to buy parts immediately for mine. Lol.
