Haven't seen anything yet. The only mods are a smoked upper grill surround and a smoked L emblem for the grill, other then those, nada...

I will be making a grill insert for the upper, hopefully it will be molded this week Open mesh and possible hooks for a CAI design and working on.

NP man, if the F is like the gen 1 IS, a lot of companies fall on there face getting things released. hopefully I can make some good parts, just takes me longer haha.

I have been running my car without a grill for a while and it sure seems to breathe better like a big scoop.

Haha, any pics? No worries, take your time, I know I'm in no hurry to put stuff on the car, it's sort of an addiction, once I do, I can't stop

Haha, that's awesome! I can't wait to see what you come up with Are you also going to do the lower grill as well?

Big Mike, who supplies the grill with the smoked surround? I think I'd like to get one, the OEM chrome can stand some revision.

Carson Tuned does, L-tunedparts.com. The link is below for you It is just the grill surround and not an entirely new grill. You can also buy the black pearl emblems or do them yourself if your savy with chrome parts

Thanks, I'll get the grille surround. How about smoked applications for the window trims, are there any? What is your feedback on the PTS exhaust, is it much louder than the OEMs, how about performance, and will the "check engine" light come on if I take off the cats? By the way I also ordered the AMSOIL filter based on what I read from you guys.

I haven't seen or heard anyone producing smoked window trim surrounds. The PTS exhaust is a great exhaust imo. I am personally going to put it on my car here in less then a month or so. A lot of people have been purchasing it since you don't have to remove the stock tips, it sounds great, looks great, is easy to install and you can talk to the maker anytime you have a question on here. I have personally talked to Joe Z and he is a great guy who knows his stuff and put his exhaust through tons of testing to make sure it was right for the F.

The PTS Joe Z exhaust will not set of your CEL. The stock IS-F exhaust has two cats and the O2 sensors are located in front of and behind the first one so when Joe Z removed the second one, no CEL came on (nor has it for anyone else). I believe the gains from the exhaust were 22rwhp (correct me if I'm wrong please). Here is a link so you can hear some videos of it to see if it's too loud or not (I don't think it is, I think it's how the F should have sounded from factory )

Thanks so much for your feedback. By the way, we tried to get AMSOIL filters and they said they do not make for the ISF. Any tips how to get around this? Does this filter have the same measurements of the IS350 0f LS 460?

I would PM a guy on here named Fig. Great guy to do business with and knows his stuff. I purchased my amsoil filter directly from him (he is a distributor I believe). Shoot him a PM and he can help you with it

check out the following site: http://www.lextasy.com/is-f-grilles.htm

looks like a nice product but they only have an upper right now.

That's the same grill as in the post above yours...It is a lower mesh grill, not an upper.
