Lexus SEMA 2008: Fox Marketing/Artisan Performance IS F

[Flipside909]

IS F by Fox Marketing/Artisan Performance

Description:
Fox Marketing and Artisan Performance teamed to create this subtle yet aggressive makeover of the already aggressive IS F. The subtle part involves the numerous bodywork changes, which enhance rather than rethink the lines of the IS F, making it look even more muscular in the process. ‘Aggressive’ can be applied to the engine which gets the full twin-turbo treatment. Fox expects the changes will yield something north of 600 horsepower.

I like the looks. Really tasteful as far as SEMA vehicles go IMHO. The front lip and the huge rear fenders look great.

[IS3_FTW]

Im diggin' this color, coming from an owner of a bright @$$ yellow IS

[kstar07]

+1 very tasteful

[mtn]

would love to see the numbers on a turbo IS-F. 10 second car possibility?

I like the look of the car, I'm not sure about the color either.

BASF, although the color is based on preference there's no doubt the paint job is top notch. I like it.

can't wait for numbers on the turbo considering the compression of the engine and all

[Tempest]

Bodykit flows really nicely, color gets the car attention at the show I'm sure, but I wouldn't buy that color.

I'm loving it. A light layer of tint would compliment the wheel choice and black areas nicely.

Maybe even opt to have the headlight housings painted black, and lightly smoke the tails.

[Sonic Boom]

Definitely tasteful. I'm digging the black roof. Along with the above suggestions this one is crying out for some black pearl badging and grill surround. Nice.
