yes the car is parked outside of corporate office pretty often

i don't have exact words on the parts, but i think they mostly tried to evaluate on the market. even with the slightly better rate now, i think all the parts are still very expensive

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but lately it seems that I cannot stop obsessing about the TRD rear diffuser! I must have one! It is the perfect combination of style and functionality; nothing else on the market seems fulfill both criteria quite as well. Unfortunately, it also seems that this thing is almost completely unattainable. Does anyone know of any private IS F owners who have actually taken delivery of any of these Circuit Club Sport Parts?

I am in 100% total agreement. The rear diffuser is subtle but adds a nice look to the F's rear end. If that were available, I would buy it right now.

Plus I want the orange drivers/passengers racing seats with the F logo on the side...Oh My! I know they would probably be uncomfortable for everyday use, plus it would suck for blind spots, but those are just pure sexy!



Edit...I want the front underbody splitters, and the 10-spoke aluminum rims too...

Ditto. I'd purchase the rear diffuser and front splitters in a heartbeat. It's a simple and clean look for the F. Does anyone have any idea if they even make these parts?

Father is a Parts Manager for a Lexus Dealership....had him look into this....he said they don't sell this stuff in the US and couldn't get it through his "official channels".

He also told me the stuff would be mega expensive to get anyways...

Something of an observation... did anyone notice how the outer sections of the tail lights are missing the 3 LED's that the street cars come with? Pretty interesting they made a separate tail light just for this car.

JDM tail lights do not have the three lights on the outer most sides. Believe they were put there for DOT standards.

Yes user Ashbechan here in good old New Zealand has a fully specked phase 3 CCSP IS-F.

If youlook down the 1st page there should be a thread with pics and his car.He's just in the process of cleaning up some carbon parts.

Hey thank you Coryn I missed this thread.


Hi guys, yes I have a IS-F CCS-P as Coryn mentioned. I am cleaning up parts and removing/ photographing the items on the car so if you need to see things either look in the thread I started or just message me.

Regarding the bonnet, the whole item is 100% carbonfiber with a thick weave cloth on the underneath (Still 100% carbon no FRP) and then the upper layer is the normal common weave everyone loves. No rain guards or air funnels but I admit it does vent a fair bit out the bay just from looking at the heat escaping on idle at stop lights. I have noticed engine bay feeling cooler than my last IS-F and I can get some temperature data if someone needs it.

The diffuser is amazing, I love how subtle yet clean it is, and again this item is 100% carbonfiber with no FRP in the construction.

Figured I'd resurrect this thread instead of starting a new one. Nowhere is it listed the size of the front Brembo's. With the OEM being 360mm that's an odd size the Brembo typically doesn't do for race cars let alone a street kit, which brings me to this question: are they 355mm or 380mm? If 355mm is that a "downgrade" as far as thermal capacity since the rotor is losing 5mm diameter (too lazy to find surface area) ?
