The Fearless Car Thread

That's a nice lookin wheel. Not a fan of the polished lip though.

I think it makes the wheel look cheap, no idea why. -what?

I think these would look awesome on your car.

^ i want something with a lip.

I would order SSR Type C's off Tirerack... unfortunately they don't have free shipping like Wheelsnext, so that costs me another 300 bucks

 

Ahhh. Okay. A lot of the wheels on Wheels Next are nasty.

With lip:

Are you getting tires from wheelsnext also as a package?

 

yeah, probably just nexen 3000's

don't really care about tires, as long as they aren't too loud

 

this is what those Ruff's look like in chrome 20's

black




I actually really like the chrome, but it might be too loud

 

cause that site looks really tempting! lol.

So I was reading and apparently free shipping only applies to wheels+tires package combo. That's why I asked. lol.

 

Hey all I've been a member for a while on this site, but haven't really posted much stuff. Here's a few pic of my baby
I see that Fearless you're also a member of CL. Also I was wondering if anyone else that is into cars and reads Japanese or other countries car mags, think you can help me out with ideas for mods. TY in advance.

 

nice isf..... hows that thing drive? i was temped to go to the dealer to test drive it. doubt they'll let me do that.

 

It's really a great car to drive around with and I use it as a daily. To maximize this car's full potentials is to put in Manual mode and sports mode then that's where the fun begins. Since I got it in Silver(Mercury Metallic) I don't get too much attention unless they get real close to me. They usually think of it as another IS250 or 350. Not many people know about this car's existence, they even complimented me "I like how you hooked up your ride." You can go to the dealership and ask for a test drive, I doubt they'll turn you down.

 

i seen a white isf today. once i seen the raised hood i was like ISF..... then the rear of the car..... those nice looking exhaust.

i remember when i went to the lexus dealership last time with a friend, they ran over to us when we parked n got out of my car. i drive a mercedes so i guess they thought i have money n will buy. hahahah

 

I really wouldn't think there is much you can do to mod an ISF... its pretty much top performance anyway.

The rims are already BBS and my dealership wanted 6 grand for a set of 4 which was fucking insanity, but i suppose if your looking for something more stylish and wanna blow some serious cash you could get some 20" HRE's.

Interior wise you can buy some Junction Produce stuff and roll VIP style with a JDM Tsuna.

Also maybe 3000K HID fogs and tint all around?

 

crazee...please confirm that two of the four exhaust pipes only functional...:wiggle:?

 

I'm not much of a big fan of VIP to me it's too retarded. All show and no go. I want something that's show and GO GO GO! Having 19s is already pushing it, but I'll definitely want to put on some tints, but not all around since most of time you'll be labeled as a drug dealer and get harassed 24/7. I really like the Wald Intl. front lip for the F, but I would only but it if it was the whole front. I'm thinking about getting a custom widebody kit done for it and probably get the Suruga Speed full cat exhaust for the car. The quad stack exhaust you see on the rear of the car is not functional, it is just looks.

 

Why did you choose a ISF anyway? Even after having an IS250 and loving it to death, i wouldn't pick the ISF over the M3. The M3 is just a better car in so many ways. Granted you have to pay a bit more, but you get so much more with it.

 

nice is-f D;

 

I never did own a IS 250 or 350. Besides I chose Lexus because of reliability and low cost maintenance. Never did like M3s only BMW that I do like is the 645ci. For the price that I got for my F I can still put the new Artisan Performance turbo kit and still be fairly close to the sticker price of the m3 or the F itself. The kit itself cost about only 15k which brings the car to 550-600 hp.

 

i am sorry to say and i have to say this.....not direct to the owner of isf here!!!
If i am looking at a 50k+ sport car, isf definitively on the bottom of the pack when it comes to performance and look imo. isf just disappear into the crowd without an trained eyes....for an average joe, isf is just another is250 or 350 with a bolt-on body kit -out2

 

Actually I'm not offended at all by your comment. Personally I wanted the F in Smokey Granite Mica for more of a stealthy look and also I would not want to wash it so frequent. Having the F being mistaken as an IS 250 or 350 is not a bad idea and especially when you burn your opponent and seeing that facial expression on their face is definitely priceless. Another thing is if your car stands out too much you get unwanted attentions. There's it's ups and downs to owning the F, so far it has not been too bad and maintenace is much much more cheaper compared to the German brands.

 

^^
thats probably the only way to look at it..so, u saying the only main requirement/concern in choosing the isf here is solely on the cost of maintenance, which is fine is this case !

anyway, did u get it with ML audio package?
