This IS-F looks even better in the flesh, the computer rendered shots were nice, but in real life the car is absolutely stunning! I got the pic off of Autoblog, pics from the 2008 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival gallary. I love how the sunlight washes over the satin black paint then fades into the paint.

FWIW, the dash is annoyingly high on the IS cars.
The V8 bulge on the IS-Fs hood is too much. Reminds me of a beluga whale.

Are those rear view cameras?
The mirrors look tiny.


BTW - I have always thought that a flat black car was in the same category as a ricer with unpainted body kit parts; It just looks unfinished.

It's a stunning car! Is it just my eyes playing tricks with me, or do I see a rectangular outline on the front passenger door handle where it has been 'modified'?

The door handles have been modified.

Then perhaps the satin black paint isn't hiding the old door handle very well.

I wander if those Five Axis S5-F wheels are ridiculously expensive. They would look real nice on my 8.

It looks to be a higher end more mature crowd at that event. Not sure if this car would have been the best marketing tool for it.

Also this isnt a flat black car, its satin. it has a bit of sheen to it compared to a pure flat black paint job.

This car is good looking though, grade A body work for sure!

I like everything but the annoying outward bulge towards the front of the side skirts.

I'm not feeling the wheels or the total lack of a sidewall on the tires. They just slapped on some rubber bands.

The front is rice, but the paint job is very intersting. It's not my personal taste, but I like that someone tried it.
