the F sport is what brought me to lexus, up until then, i was never really interested in them. love the agressive styling, monster brakes and big wheels. it's the perfect balance of sport and luxury. and there are more suspension changes to the f sport than just the shocks, The F Sport treatment further fits stiffer springs, different bushings, retuned adaptive variable dampers, thicker anti-roll bars, variable-rate steering, the luxury model features are pretty cool, i would have liked the adaptive headlights, but that's about it.

What are the part numbers for these F Sport suspension components (anti-roll bars, springs, etc.)?

I think the Luxury model is great, but I don't feel I'm missing a thing with my F-Sport. I wouldn't use adjustable lights because I rarely drive at night. The seats in the F-Sport are also extremely comfortable and have lots of adjustments, so I don't know what more I would need. I rarely use my rear sun shade because my windows are tinted and I want to see if there are any cops behind me.
And I couldn't get the Cabernet/Aluminum interior in the Luxury model, so that would be a deal-breaker for me. Plus, those wide staggered rims just make the car look so aggressive and I don't need to change them.

I just learned something about the difference between the two while I have a luxury loaner .. My 12 year old loves playing with the rear armrest controls. Glad I didn't get that feature! The rear sunshades are kind cool to have though.

My 7 year old grandson likes to play with them also, but he's learning to use them carefully. He only rides in the car a couple times a week, though, so I like having him learn to use them

There needs to be a way for the driver to over ride that lock esp the audio, the A/C i don't really care about...For those that leave the side sunshades up 24/7, how is driving at night with them up? Is it hard to see?

Hate to bring up such an old thread but I just did this conversion to my 2013 FSport. You need more than you think you do to do it.
Parts that are different
the upper portion of the door panel.
The window track
Quarter glass
window trim
it wasnt bad to do but figuring it all out as I went was super time consuming. I will take pics if anyone is interested.

Could you show me what the finished product looks like? How much did it cost overall?

Yeah selling the entire door is more cost effective for them. And buying the parts from the dealer is way too expensive. Makes it not even worth it.

I have a 2013 Lux model GS350 and I love driving at night with the sun shades up all the time. I definitely don't want people staring into my car at all......... so mine your own business... 
Very nice to have them. They are up all the time and driving at night with them up is a breeze. I can still see out of my rear view mirror perfectly.
Sorry guys the Lux package is way better than your F-Sport.... The F-Sport just takes all the fun out of getting aftermarket stuff like rims and brake calibers and what else?
F-Sport gives you NO luxury.... Where's your passenger seat memory function or your 16 way power seats? Is this just all for the driver??? No adaptive lighting... No rear side seat shades. (I bet without those shades your car is HOT as what opening the doors in the sun.)
My car stay cool in the sun....
No rear seat controls - this is a must if you call your car a luxury car...
What luxury do you get in the F-Sport... All the things I can get with the F-Sport I can do for less money on my own.
You F-Sport lovers can't revamp your car into Luxury models only unless you have that money 2 or 3 grand or more to do it and is it really that serious to change all that just to say that you have luxury features???
Just get the luxury model and you won't be disappointed.....
