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.

The first picture is done by Photoshop???

[BlitzBlitz]

dont like it.... it looks like they are trying too hard to make it look aggressive....

[nns]

Works for me. It looks like a beast.

[Gtrr33]

i love it

[b-dub]

WOW, usually I hate WALD kits but this one on the IS looks like sex on wheels.

[shenmecar]

whats the point of the bit of carbon fibre on the lid?! just decided to put it there i guess.

[TOPEC]

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

[MDMA]

looks pretty sexi i wud look twice if i saw it on the road .. dont like how they used the same CF side vents on the lip (8th pic) as c63 or other amg cars .. other than that this thing is DEADLY

[!SG]

i like the stance... good wheel fitment!

[RRxtar]

those arent even real

[!SG]

one can dream that stance and offset actually exists...

[JSALES]

looks dope

[TOPEC]

they were never fake to begin with.

[heleu]

they were never fake to begin with.

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]

How is that a "Black Bison"?

[Kalize]

CSL trunk lid spoiler????
looks OK...hate the exhaust

[kc1337]

I think i just threw up in my mouth, WTF IS THIS SHIT?!

[TOPEC]

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]

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]

trunk lip is pretty sweet

[TRDood]

c63 amg much?

[alex.w *//]

the only shot that looks nice is the side shot.

[tonyvu]

i love that front end!

[keifun]

the front bumper looks hot.

luvin' the deep dish rims too...

[Armind]

the front bumper looks hot.

luvin' the deep dish rims too...

[itachi1314]

luvin' the deep dish rims too...

but the rear is pretty rice rocket.

[nevermorez]

Love the trunk lip. I do wish they extend it all the way though. And I could care less about the fake exhasut, as long as it still pwns.

It is not disconnected because of vibrations. The tips were designed so at a certain speed, the bumper / tips act as a diffuser. This was disclosed by Lexus Japan a while ago. A lot of exotics actually have very similar designs with disconnected tips.

[nevermorez]

I agree. Ferrari also has the same design.

[B4N M3]

the front and side look awesome...the back looks waaaaaay too busy...and that CF lip is nasty...just put a CF hood/trunk on it....
