Need to paint the roofline. I know it's CF but it just doesn't look right at all.

I think I just jizzed in my pants.

LOVE the white IS look and the IS-F is a piece of artwork! Dyno'd one and if I had the money would be driving one right now.

Oh okay, now I see some real exhaust tips:



IS F by 0-60 Magazine

With track performance a common theme among IS F builders, 0-60 Magazine ups the ante on their IS F project with a supercharger to tease out another load of horses from the big V8. Carbon fiber body components reduce weight while lowering the center of gravity and a custom roll cage adds stiffness and protection. A beefy brake upgrade kit was added to balance the performance equation.

Highlights:

Exterior
• Seibon Carbon Panels: Hood, Fenders, Trunk, Spoiler

Interior
• Design Craft Fabrication custom roll cage
• Sparco Chrono Road Seats wrapped with interior-matching leather

Engine
• Greddy MP92 Supercharger w/ custom aluminum intake manifold
• Greddy Intelligent Informeter Touch
• Greddy Intake and filter
• Braille Carbon Battery

Exhaust
• Custom system using Greddy Spectrum Elite components

Suspension
• Tein Super Street Coilovers w/ EDFC Kit

Wheels
• Yokohama Advan Racing RZ Wheels
o Front: 19x9”
o Rear: 19x10”

Tires
• Hankook Ventus EVO V12:
o Front: 245/35-19
o Rear: 275/30-19

Brakes
• Performance Friction Lexus IS F Z-Rated brake upgrade kits (front and rear):
o Forged 4–piston monobloc calipers
o Radial mount caliper brackets
o 2-piece rotor/hat assemblies (372mm front; 355mm rear)
o Z-rated Carbon Metallic ® multipads specifically for IS-F chassis
o Stainless steel braided brake lines
