The buttons for the Moonroof are recessed in a oblong "valley" where as the previous didn't have that recessed area.

The font style of the numbers of the tach and speedo are now italicized. The font type on the dash has changed from a regular block Arial type font to the Times New Roman style on the LS & IS.

No it doesnt. It is there to make sure people know it's not your average Lexus.

Thanks for taking the time to post all of those pics! Looks great. I like the new shifter plate... and metal accents on the seats. The skid plates are a nice feature. (I wonder if the lighted portion would be visible in the day-light).

Default Hong Kong version of revised 3GS

Even with the facelift, they are still getting the GS300 instead of GS350, I took this photo at a shopping centre Lexus exhibit in Hong Kong about 2 weeks ago when I was there :

Yes it's still GS300 only in some countries, & they don't even offer the V8 version in Hong Kong, only the GS300 : http://www.lexus.com.hk/

On the downside, IMHO the fanblade wheels are a disaster.
LOL.. I think the wheels are cool.

It's barely noticable, it will washout in bright day light.

I have more pics to post up tonight, a side by side of an 08 and 07 together. Thanks to my good friend Rominl for the help.

Wow. that factory has to make so many different models just in the GS line alone, no wonder they take 4 months to confirm an order in some cases and don't accommodate any custom order exterior/interior color combo requests.
