Many IS-F users on here has these universal splitters. Easy DIY installation, don't forget to pick up some bolts and screws.

Those are ISS Forged scoops, I'm pretty sure. They've been out of production for a few years.

Did any F owners purchase this? wondering about the fitment and whether these pictures are the actual pictures of the unit, since it says it's universal and supposed with fit other cars too
