Just wanted to introduce myself. Ive had my 2008 isF for about two years now , picked it up with 7000 miles and just finally getting some mods on it. The F acts as my wifes daily driver so I cant go to crazy with it .

When i first picked her up





and just now slowly getting some parts for her . Started with the Toms carbon rear diffuser





and then a set of KW v3's





Very impressed with the v3s , the car rides so much nicer than stock , best mod so far.

Picked up a set of DPE s20 rims and had the faces painted matte black with the lips painted gloss black .

Talked a little fitment with CalitriSC , and ended up going 20x9 +35 up front with a 20x10.5 +40 in the rear. 245/30 up front with a 285/25 in the rear. Not bad for a wifes daily driver







Car will end up going a lot lower, but it rubs a little in the rear on big bumps , so i need to pick up a set of Cusco rear arms to get some more camber.

Do you need a snowplow in the part of California you are in? :P

I try not to modify my wife's automobiles...she is usually with the kids and I try to leave it OEM..

F looks different with the modifications..you will know its yours for sure.

Must be the latest KW packaging, always see the Porsche design one in the past. Good choice.

Nice job, looks good.
I would suggest Figs Mega Arms and Figs Toe Links as opposed to the Cusco parts.
