I snapped a couple of "spy pics" of the 2008 IS this afternoon. A couple of thoughts:![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

The new wheels - for reference, the car in the picture is Breakwater Blue Metallic.

Here's another '08, this one in Tungsten Pearl:
- It is absolutely undistinguishable from the 07 model. The only way you'd be able to tell from the road is the finish on the stock wheels, pictured below.
- Just as I thought, the rears of the front seats are the same design as those found in the IS-F. Leg cutouts on both sides of the seatback, and a soft bag-style pouch instead of the hard plastic found in the 07 and 06 models.
- The coinholder is LAME.
- The finish on the new wheels is nice - I liken it to the Mercury Silver found on some Volk Wheels. It's a very shiny, bright, and almost reflective silver.

That coin holder is seriously tempting me to trade my 06 IS350 in for a 08 IS350. Oh, I gotta have it! ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Seriously though, I thought it'd be one of those multi-slot ones that fits in the center armrest. I LOL'ed hard when I saw that pic of the coin holder

Great job secret agent javyLSU.
The liquid graphite finish on the rims are VERY nice. They look so good I have second thoughts about going aftermarket...

i actually think the back seat looks kind of cheap now, espcially with that middle bar showing. having a pocket is nice, but again looks cheap.
looks like maybe a half inch of extra leg room?
