No NAV system???? FAIL...........j/k
1. love the exhaust
2. love the wheels on the MM
3. the hood on the MM looks like a 250/350 with slits. No bueno IMO. Bulged hood with slits would be better.
4. For the love of God, no spoilers on this car if it's not a sanctioned race event. These are not rice-burners, so please do not disrespect this car by doing so.
5. Would give up my wife's chihuahua to drive this car for an hour.

Yes, please. Do want. I'm impressed they think the stock transmission is up to the task with only additional cooling. I wonder if the motor retains the A/C compressor, etc. Hope the engine doesnt have the dreaded "engine knock".

I actually like the wing on the orange car more if I had to run such a big wing. That one on the silver car is hideous and looks like an Ebay piece!
The "street" version looks pretty tame and besides the hood and front / rear aero it's not all that much different from a normal IS-F....does the street version have the same weight reductions? Otherwise you are just paying for a glorified body kit car IMO.

The intake/exhaust looks nice as well. The "intake" looks like a JoeZ intake and they have the secondary intake blocked off to pull air from the fender. I wonder how well this car will do at Pikes Peak...isn't that a super high elevation?
Congrats to Lexus for pulling this off!

Couple of things I noticed. 245/35/19s in front and 265/35/19s in back. That would give the car a 1/2" rake. The sizes and tire manufacturer is different from the specs listed. The brake calipers look like stock F pieces. The pads are probably different though. Slotted Brake discs in front and drilled in back, that's very strange. Like the disc hats
The high rise intake manifold looks like a nice piece.

The Rears are straight up OEM.. (w/ race pads in my opinon)
I personally like their Intake Pipe set up....
