A friend and me rolled the rear fenders of my ISF with a roller fender and a heat gun. My friend had already done it on 2 or 3 cars before. In 1h30 we had made the 2 fenders. 

Order placed! Order number 4008. Thank you Pete !!!

Guess it depends on what you are ultimately trying to achieve with the car? If it's purely cosmetic, I'd keep an eye on the US forum parts for sale section. Lots of folks upgrading to coilovers, so you can snap up their old lowering springs?

I'd go with coilovers personally, just because the ride was awful in my view on the OEM suspension setup.

Looking at the RR-Racing or KW setup instead. The BC's were a huge improvement for me in terms of ride comfort. Actually softer than the OEM setup!

I will send you a PM !

@Peter P18 please send me your bank details and I'll proceed to the bank transfer.

Tell me exactly how much I have to send you knowing that I live in France (Nantes, 44300)

Thank you very much! The price is very interesting!!! 67,94£ for front and rear brembo pads shipped to France!

Hello, 

The back height of the car suits me but the front is too high. I looked at swift sport springs but they are sold by 4, I can't buy only the front. My ISF has 108000 miles and the front shock absorber assy were replaced at 95000 miles.

I found this topic on the US Lexus forum (photos pages 5, 6, 7) :

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f-2008-2014/613660-isf-front-lowering-kit.html

It is about this product :

What do you think about this kit?

My opinion : Very easy to install but for bolts and spacers, the price is not cheap (same for the shipping cost : 172 $...)

I'm still interested too!

@etienne1201 Etienne I shall put you on the list and with @Peter P18 look at the costings of getting your set to you, the car is looking great 👍 

Where's about in France are you so we have an advanced idea of the cost.

Great! I'm in Nantes, Loire-Atlantique (post code 44300)

@Big Rat, If the price is interesting and if it is possible to send me the USRS in France, I'm interested.

@effordoff , I tried my new LC818 19x10 ET38 all around. What do you think of the fitment? It seems to be the same on your car? I will have to roll the rear fender because I have rubbing issues.

I tried my new wheels, but I will have to roll the rear fenders. The front is ok.

Thank you! Yes it's the Bayson R front lip :

http://www.baysonr.com/08_14_Lexus_IS_F_A_Style_Front_Lip_Polyurethane_p/flip-pu-isf08-a.htm

It's in Polyurethane and I didn't paint it. It was easy to install, I put the screws in the bumper without drilling before.

New front lip : 

I will make a video during my holidays (in a week). It is not yet installed definitively, but I think put the switch in the ashtray and plug it into the cigarette lighter socket

New mod: I wanted a more beautiful exhaust soud without spending too much money in a complete exhaust system. I bought a QTP qtec33 cutout  in the USA that I have welded on my stock exhaust. I activate the opening and closing with a switch. I'm very satisfied with the soud.

Square setup LINEA CORSE LC818 19x10 ET38 

Tires FALKEN FK510  255/35 R19 front and 265/35 R19 rear

Thank you! Yes the price was much more interesting than in France. In addition, at the time of my purchase there was very little choice in France.

Next mods :

- wheels : LC818

- exhaust

Hi,

Here is my lexus isf that I bought in england a few weeks ago: year 2008, 107000 miles. 

Here are some pictures: cleaning of the seats with soap of marseille, complete cleaning of the body, plastidip of the emblem and the front grille

Hello, just to check before buying the LC818 in 19x10 ET38 at the 4 corners, I measured the distance between the outside of the rim and the outside of the fender: here are the photos to compare with the "tire rim calculator".

Front wheel:




Rear wheel :




It's clear that the rims will come out of the fenders. In your opinion it's still good even with the rear fenders rolled?

 Fronts are 8.5 inch, et40, 3mm spacer and 255/35. 

Rears 9.5 inch, et40, 3mm spacer and 275/30

Did you rolled the rear fenders? No rubbing issues?

Very nice! What are the spec of your wheels and your tyres?

Hi,

I'd be careful buying replica parts mate. Often missing the fixings or tabs the OEM parts come with. Mine is a genuine Lexus grill for the IS-F, just from the US market.

I bought mine secondhand via the US forum, then had my Bodyshop paint it for me. The badge was included in the sale, but if you do decide to take a punt on this, I highly doubt the badge will be included.

Pretty sure it's the same size and style as our boot emblem? If so, you can pick one up via your local Lexus dealer, or eBay?

Best of luck! 

Peter P18, my ISF has the pre crash system with te very very expensive emblem on the front grill. This emblem has a function? If I replace this one by the same front grill and emblem as you I will not have problem?

I sent a e-mail to the second address and unfortunately they only ship to England.
