Wald lexus IS-F
 
Suprised Timpo hasn't posted this already
Wald Lexus IS-F 'Black Bison' detail photos released

Japanese tuning house Wald International has a wide range of styling and performance kits for nearly every Japanese-made car on the market. It's no surprise, then, the company has turned its hand to one of the most recent high-performance sedans to issue from Lexus, and the resulting restyle shows some characteristic Wald touches along with a flair unique to the IS-F.

The IS-F kit offers a significantly more aggressive look for the IS-F owner not satisfied with the reserved yet muscular look Lexus imbued the car with at the factory, while the Black Bison kit goes one step further and adds even more aggression plus carbon-fiber finishes. The newly released detail photos give an up-close look not just at the brawny additions, but the material, fit and finish of the kit - all of which appear to be superb.

Adding larger, more angular front intakes with a separate brake duct and a dual lower splitter, the front of the car looks much more purposefully fast than the stock car. A slightly wider side-sill treatment flows to the rear side skirts, which receive Wald's trademark shark-gill extractor vents behind the rear wheels.

A custom diffuser under the rear end looks like more than just a pretty piece of molding, and coupled with the rear wing, should help improve down force at speed. The IS-F's front extractor just behind the front wheel is left untouched.

Aside from the spoiler at the back of the car, the kit builds on the IS-F's basic look, adding aggressive styling to match the powerful engine under the hood.

I wonder if the top two exhaust pipes are still fake or if they actually put them to use.

MDMA 01-30-2009 05:03 PM

Oh, they're definitely fake. They four "exhaust pipes" aren't even connected to the two real outlets; there's a two inch gap last time I checked.

Looks good, but the front lip will scrape over....everything.

Levitron 01-30-2009 08:10 PM

How is that a "Black Bison"?

Kalize 01-30-2009 08:15 PM

there FOUR real outlets dumbass, look carefully. they may be 2 inches apart from the chrome pieces but there is FOUR.

and again, if the chrome chrome pieces were actually CONNECTED to the exhaust pipes, the vibration from the exhaust will rattle against the bumper and people like u will complain "oh i bought a 80K car why the fuck is it rattling like a ricer civic with a fart can"

the mazdaspeed 6 had the same design, the chrome piece werent actually connected to the exhaust but is part of the bumper. and i believe the previous gen acura TL (not S) is like that too with their square looking chrome piece. but i might be wrong.

see this?

thats TWO GIGANTIC HOLES i see there already and thats only on ONE SIDE. WHATS 2+2=? everyone's answer will be FOUR, but urs will be TWO. LOL

vancitiboy 01-30-2009 09:11 PM

i think it looks ok. Lines that the whole kits follows are fairly true the the cars original lines. If the powerplant matches the actual aggressiveness of the kit I would say it's suits it just fine. A little to much on the front bumper and rear but it does look pretty bad azz.

hal0g0dv2 01-30-2009 09:24 PM

trunk lip is pretty sweet

TRDood 01-30-2009 09:43 PM

c63 amg much?

alex.w *// 01-30-2009 10:41 PM

the only shot that looks nice is the side shot.

tonyvu 01-31-2009 12:20 AM

i love that front end!
