  1. HI All, Ive only just joined up last night and am glad to see so much interest in the IS F. I have a 2010 white IS F that has been completely wrapped in matte black vinyl. I also have the US spec wheels on the car that don't have the chrome highlights on them, just all dark grey. With the dark window tint the car looks pretty mean! As far as exhausts go, I have looked around and decided on a pretty unique option. I didn't want the loud drone that V8's can make at low revs (actually, my girlfriend refused to get in the car if I put a loud exhaust on it!), so with the help of Sid (service manager from Lexus Chatswood) we bought a solenoid operated valve, cut a hole in the pipe just after the middle resonator, and welded the valve on to the pipe. We then wired the switch in to the centre console. So now I have a fully standard exhaust when the valve is closed (and the missus is in the car!), but when the switch is flicked I have a straight 4 inch dump pipe after the resonator! The best of both worlds! Not sure if it has massively improved the bhp, but it certainly sounds a lot better, especially on the track! I also had an Injen intake pipe on but just removed it after a few months as the initial off the line performance was diminished due to the increase in airflow - it gave the car an almighty kick at around 4000rpm though! Feel free to get in touch if you'd like more info, and I look forward to keeping up to date with the forums.
