It depends what MY IS F your friend is looking at. If he/she is looking at a 2010+, then there's no need for an LSD retrofit, which a few members are fortunate to have done. The new LED headlights are personal preference. Intake, headers, and exhaust still comprise the big mods to do performance wise. Parts from Japan for exterior aestheics still take time to be sent over, wheels included for the most part.

Definitely enjoy that GTR, my friend. A mind-numbing good time that can be with just a tune and some bolt ons

Thanks he is looking at a 2010. I think he is looking into intake and i told him i love the muffler delete. plus its cheap.

The my GTR has 268 miles, as soon as i hit 1000 in about 4 months im doing the hard pipes, 3 inch intakes, downpipes, y pipes, 1300 cc injectors, fuel pumps and tune. will tune to about 600 hp and stay under 600 tq at least until i fully build motor. I choosing who to use for tune as we speak.

Sounds like some power upgrades for sure! It's all about a trustworthy shop. I sometimes wish there were more than a few bolt ons for the IS F. With the GTR, you guys get to really modify them and get them going wicked fast. You're '14 GTR is still brand new. Have a blast with it both before and after the mods are in place.
