Re: Transkit for IS350/250

Ordered one up when I first saw it posted. Well see how it looks when I get it. The only thing that bugs me about Meko kits is they don't include photo etching parts. It would compliment the kit even further if it had the IS-F badges.

Yeah i agree, badges would be nice. Can you post some pics, and mockups of the kit when you get it?

Most definitely. Those pics are not the greatest so I'll make sure to post up some closer shots. From the looks of it though a good majority of it is there (quad exhausts, rear trunk spoiler, front/rear lights, wheels, rear undertray, etc.). The Wald kit is a toss up for some people but overall I like the look of it but probably wouldn't opt for the wet carbon rear trunk spoiler; rather the FRP body color matched version.

Re: Transkit for IS350/250

Kit finally came today. Too bad no one was home to sign for my other 599xx kit.

Sorry for the pic quality. I usually come home late. If there are any specific parts you want pics of let me know.

Overall the kit looks of good quality. I haven't fit it to a lexus kit yet but soon.





wheels and front bumper




front bumper shot




w/ flash to show more of the kit lines

It looks great! If I had a 1:1 IS-F this would be on my wishlist.

Re: Transkit for IS350/250

Does it come with the IS F hood? That looks excellent for what it offers.

I take it they are made to fit the kits stock tires? I kind of figured they might be...oh well, thats why we have aftermarket wheels and tire sets
