2008 Lexus IS-F Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour
Well ever since I did the video on the 2011 IS-F I have been on a search for the famous ultrasonic blue mica that had been featured in all the original press releases for the IS-F upon it's release. Plus I wanted a more smooth orchestrated video that taught viewers a little more about the history behind the car, my search is over and I hope everyone enjoys! In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2008 Lexus IS-F. This car is also part of the vast hendrick performance collection. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
Thanks a lot to Hendrick BMW of Charlotte, NC for allowing me to film this video! For more info on this vehicle as well as others visit www.hendrickbmw.com

How to Roll a Fender - Lexus ISF (Making room for wider tires)
**JUST SAY NO to the "baseball bat" trick!** This is the easiest, most accurate, proper way to get the job done. This is a 2011 Lexus ISF. My new, wider Pirelli tires came in a few weeks ago but i knew before i put them on, i would have to roll the fenders. In this video, you see exactly how to do it. I bought my roller off of Amazon.com but it can also be found at http://www.eastwood.com. The new tires are 235/30/20 (front, 9" wheels) and 285/25/20 (rear, 10" wheels). The wheels themselves are custom, 1-off 3 piece wheels made by AZA ( http://www.azaforged.com ). As it stands, even with the fenders rolled, the 285's in the rear barely clear and i could not use a spacer. I tried, it doesnt work, so dont bother asking.

Lowered Lexus IS-F - Correcting Rear Camber & Toe - Figs Engineering
Already being a victim of premature inner tire wear from lowering my car, i had to find a solution quick. The stock ISF has no camber adjustment and not enough toe adjustment to get it where it needs to be. The solution i found was Figs Engineering adjustable lower control arms and toe links..... Check out http://www.figsengineering.com if you have a Lexus and need parts like this!
I finished them this evening and it was too late to go get it aligned. I have an appointment on Monday..... We got them as close as possible using the old tape measure trick. The camber is all but gone now! FIGS FTMFW
Also shown in this video is, KWv3 Coilovers, AZA 20" 3 Piece wheels (20x10 rear, 20x9 front) wrapped in Nitto Invo rubber. A Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust system by ISSforged is also shown....
