Those breaks look killer man! I love the car. Question: Does the 4th one in the pic (the one with the black wheels) have some sort of wide body kit or just some different fenders/skirts? I like the look

it is an IS-F with the 5L V8. unless it is just a F body kit.
 
the one with black wheels is an IS-F.. got plenty of $$$ in that F. its a wider body IS and it comes with 418 HP from factory...

and yes i know they contrast BUT it got em at an amazing deal that i couldnt pass up on...

and BTW they are black roofs... my car is going in to the shop soon for either a black roof or something even more special :D

EDIT: what color should i paint the brakes (if i decide to)
 
wow the all white one is awesome (the first one in line.. Im sorry but im not into different colored body parts. Your car would look alot cleaner if it was all one color. But if that's not where you're heading then do your thing.
 
you guys should check out the car club...

myspace.com/hiprofile

and HIN miami is sooooo close!

I don't make enough money to even look at you car club on myspace :laugh:. I love your car man. I don't think you should paint the brakes. I've always loved the IS. What numbers are you putting up now?
 
Rob, you lexus is serious!

my only criticism is the wheels, I think you need something darker to complement all of your Carbon Fiber.

well factory the car comes with 230 HP to the crank... i know it dynoes 10 more HP than the IS300 n thats is a around 185-190 WHP

its slow but i like to cruise anyways LOL

Oh ok. I thought the 250's came with 204-205hp from factory? Either way its still a nice car.
 
How do you keep buying and buying and buying stuff for your car!!!!

Looks very very good just as it is. But getting some darker rims will do you better with the cf everywhere...

And if your thinking a CF ROOF. DOOOOOO IT, DOOOO IT!!

They do. I'm not sure where 230 hp came from. :shrug:

The IS300 is 215 hp, and the IS250 dropped to 204 hp dispite being a newer model.

The car looks amazing Rob! Personally I think it needs more go, and less show. The brakes seem a little overkill for having stock power.
 
well thats what i was told by a tech here at lexus saying the new HP rating brings it down but since the IS300 is 225 and this one dynos 10 more to the wheel they told me around 230...

i have a 10 lb bottle thats already color matched... im contemplating doing at 75 wet shot but for sure purge
