Wald Lexus IS-F 'Black Bison'
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 love this car
I like this car more each time I look at the first set of pics with black wheels and all the cf, reminds me of aston DBS splitter treatment. I kind of have a thing for Silver vehicles with black or gunmetal wheels.
Look for a resemblance
That was during the DBS pre-launch and Release Party setup. We also had a Casino Royal Edition and a blue green one, and a Nurburgring Vantage, and the LeMans car, along with all the 09's. All the car mags came to our dealer and did the test runs up highway 1.
and here's a customer's S-Car-Go racing porsche
and my accord
Now, I just need some forged gunmetal rims for the fit. I thought about doing black or gunmetal with polished rims on the accord and using the forged 14lb 17's on the fit. All else fails powdercoat the factory alloys gunmetal or black
this is a customers car I did 90% gloss black and a strut kit on the car. came out gangster
a lil black on black with a tiny bit of chrome ($8k worth of chrome strut package) never hurt anybody.
