Side markers?
Does anyone know why the American version of the 2Gen IS's do not have side markers? I noticed that the Japanese version have side markers and they look awesome.
Sorry, I tried copying a picture from www.lexus.jp but it's in Flash Player, so I couldn't copy pics. Anyone else have pics?

I guess this car is treated more as a sendan than sports car in Asia.
Also, it may have something to do with market sale strategy when they brought into US market... Like offering a base look in the first year, fin antenna in the 2nd year, and side-mark in the third year.... SIGH, they all are available in JDM initially.
My guess only!

i don't think the pic is bichon's car... i could be wrong. but he is just posting a picture of an IS with the ings kit and it happened to be a JDM version. but i've been browsing around about side markers and there was a post a while back but apparently we could get some ordered but it would require drilling a hole in the side and we're not even sure about wiring, etc. seemed to be more of a hassle so i guess everyone dropped the idea. if anyone has any more insight, preferrably someone outside the US, please chime in.
