The color is: PPG Vibrance Orange Glow 3-stage paint

It's an exact match to the 2009 F-Sport concept IS350 that debuted @ SEMA 2008.

Both of these F-Sport concept cars were built by Five Axis Design here in SoCal.. +

SOO, how come theres not more excitement from GS owners?!?! My 07GS awd is been waiting 4 shocks since i lowered it!!! On the IS site, when they first got word of the F-SPORT products, they couldnt stop talking about it........Here, no own is realy making a big deal about it! Also, the IS pips were able to get inside info on the products, but i guess it seams that on GS side no such luck :-(

well first off i don't think think the awd is getting much love, no springs or shocks from what i read

from what i see, the 3gs and 2is crowd are very different. most people here don't really modify their cars, so the overall response is lower that's for sure. and those of us who are really into modding, we have already gone further and got ours done

Agree 100%

The only thing I couldn't find was the sway-bars, Jay at "Braver" found some in Japan but I think I will wait for the f-sport ones!

Thumbs up Finally, F Sport Accessories for the GS!

Nice to see Lexus finally address GS owners wanting F Sport accessories. I agree that some new wheel designs need to be added. How about some 20's??? Stone out

Has anyone seen a price list for the new F-Sport parts? Someone did post that the sway bars were $495. Not that there's much else there for the AWD other than the brakes -and Lexus was good enough to showcase how bad the blue calipers look on the red car. But I just got the windows tinted today, and even with a leased car, I'm feelin' the mod bug!

From what I've heard, you can take ISX50 F-Sport Springs and use them on a 3GS AWD. A lot of guys from what I've read installed 3rd Gen GS Springs on their IS250 AWD. They seem to like it. But I'm not entirely sure. I'm planning on doing this but was curious to see if anyone has done this...
