Default Sik Paint Job! IS-F CCS-R

I just saw this pic of the Lexus IS-F CCS-R at Fuji Speedway on Joe Z's Facebook page - I had to share it with you guys for those who haven't seen it! That paint job is badass! I have so many paint job ideas right right now floating in my head!

I've seen it already, but it shows how dedicated Lexus is with performance and creating a name for itself for competition sake. Orange rims look good, too!

we all think that's awesome...but would you buy a car like that if it came from the factory like that? Would it make a difference if it came with 500hp instead of 416 like a "regular" IS F?

Not sure exactly hp, but we know it shred a few hundred lbs lighter than normal F , and suspension and lighter wheels, more carbon fiber interior. From what it sound , and engine , maybe header and intake and exhaust ? i think there is a new member from Washington just did his car like this but not to this extend=Nuburgring . For daily drive that member looks better

Now im thinking comparison - if that was factory and I had the $$$ in that price range, maybe Id roll with a GT-R or the new Supra that isn't out yet, staying JDM of course ;-)

That's pretty sharp! Good to see Manufacturer involvement in racing. That only helps bring better things to market!

For a race car, that is fine..they are supposed to be flamboyant and loud.

For a car from the factory like that, it looks like crap. Orange Wheels? Hey at least when October rolls around you will be in the Halloween Spirit!

I do wish our cars came equip with recaro seats from the factory... If they changed the orange and went with a blue and black theme, I think it would look a lot more appealing. What's the functionality of the roof scoop? Air for the cabin/driver?
