December 31st, 1969 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.Wald designed Lexus IS-FWald Black Bison IS-F

    Too much plastic gimmickry. Take a look at older cars that have been modded this way, they look so much older and ridiculous because of it...

    That's somewhat disgusting.

    This is an ugly photoshop,

    just look at the back vent, just so baldy made,

    the front one on the side is comming from a gtr

    :( The ISF can be made into a better looking car, but this is not the way to go. :S

    I have been physically harmed by a couple of photos. I am not sure if I will recover. This is an assault on the senses.

    It looks like a pretty car camouflaged with slabs of plastic shit

    first of all, the IS is just ugly. period.
    second of all, most attempts at making it look better are analogous to spraying perfume on a turd. not gonna smell any better
    third of all, lexuses are cars for people who don't like to drive

    Why does the gallery appear to be showing two completely different kits? One has a CF decklid with integrated lip spoiler, the other with a body-color plastic wing plus different diffusers and front brake ducts.

    "first of all, the regular IS is just beautiful. period.

    second of all, most attempts at making it look better are analogous to improving the original mona lisa or the ceiling inside the sistine chapel or van gogh's starry night. an exercise in futility.

    third of all, Lexus cars are for people who appreciate resell value, reliability, and quality service"

    Alas, it has been fixed.

    I think it is better looking then the regular IS-F

  13. ma_Rice1 avatar by Rice1 #13, Posted: 1/27/2009

    I'd prefer the looks of the older IS better than these newer models.

    Turkle you mean psychically or mentally but not physically
