Agreed.
I must admit I am flat out impressed by Lexus at SEMA this year. Some of those IS-F projects have crazy upgrades. We've got IS-Fs with twin turbos, a supercharger, and a bored, stroked N/A motor. The TEIN IS-F has some pretty crazy chassis and suspension mods.
Lexus has NEVER had this much aftermarket support this quickly, nor has Lexus been as open to aftermarket as they've been with the IS-F. The F division for Lexus really will change the image of Lexus amongst enthusiasts and a lot of people.
I can't wait to see the full specs on some of these cars.

If I may add, I happened to visit VIP Status and took a teaser shot of the VIP Auto Salon IS-F.
Wasn't the best time of the day to snap the shot but I did my best on the PP.

You and Mike said this but I don't get it (being impressed with Lexus) since only one of those projects (f-sport mods) is from Lexus. The rest is all from tuners.
A 'division' with 1 model. 
But hey, certainly a more serious effort than L-Tuned was.

Yes, most of the projects are from aftermarket tuners, and it IS impressive the amount of aftermarket support the IS-F is receiving. The turbo kit from the IS-F Artisan project car for example should be available for sale. I'm sure a lot of the parts used on these cars will be available for sale.
The F division only has one model now, but in the coming years it will definitely get more models, and will gradually change people's perception of Lexus.

The Fox Marketing / Artisan IS-F is incredible in looks and specs. Whether it actually works and is reliable is another thing. But it's great to see it.
