Default My new 'F'

This fell into my lap last week so myself and a good friend (quick350) couldn't pass it up. Hope you guys enjoy! So much work to get the car on the track but what a great starting point!

So, is it a widebody 350? Are you putting the IS-F motor in it? Details!?

That definitely looks like an ISx50 grill and not the IS-F one.

It's complicated but it is fully purposed GT2 race car based on the IS platform. You can't really call it a IS350 or ISF. It's original chassis and it's front grill are from a standard IS though but so is the ISF, so once again it get's complicated. It does have some really cool ISF inspired fenders so, there ya go. Still deciding on powertrain, among other things.
