Same car as SEMA and LA Auto Show....

Where are these pics from??

Edit: Detroit Auto Show

 

Oddly enough, the first car I saw in those pics was the LF-A roadster...

 

Great pics... So is this a regular 350 with IS-F mods? Looks really good..

 

"That blue" is the IS-F

this car is the only, to my knowledge, Silver (aka TP) IS350 with F-Sport Parts installed..

I think we now need a thread merge with the other IS350 F-Sport thread.

and a thread title correction as well...

Well its a regular IS350 with F-Sport parts installed...

(not IS-F parts)

 

Am I the only one who doesn't like the F-Sport wheels?

 

This is the same exact Tungsten Pearl IS350 that was shown at SEMA in November 2007. There are much better pics available of this car and the accessories, by the way, in the stickied F-Sport thread.

Threads merged and title edited.

that car is so bada55, i would love to drive it :[

 

do you think that the springs will be made for the IS250 AWD??

 

I like the amount of drop from the springs, definitely looking to get a set of those once they become available.

 

Do not like them and I am sure they will cost $$$
They look to be for track use.

 

So how heavy are the OEM engine covers on IS350s? Is the carbon fiber engine cover really going to provide any weight decrease/performance increase or is it really only for looks?

Does anybody know how much of a horsepower upgrade the F-Sport Exhaust System could provide? I know its not going to be much, but I'd like to get an accurate number so I can decide on whether to get it or not..

Also, I have an 08 IS350 with the x-package. Do any of you guys think getting the F-Sport lowering spring set and the shock absorbers would be a waste of money considering I already have the x-package, or would it be worth it? I know some of you guys will suggest to get an aftermarket suspension setup, but I'd really like my car to stay strictly OEM.

Thanks...!

 

This is totally a 'bling thing.' No distinguishable weight savings at all.

The F-Sport springs and shocks offer a bigger drop than the X-package suspension. X-package gives a 10mm drop in the front only, and the rear is identical to the normal/luxury setup. The F-Sport suspension offers a more aggressive 1-inch all around drop.

I can't speak as to any gains from the intake, as I haven't heard anything.

Heard from a couple corporate Lexus people they are not going to do the ceramic brakes

 

I like the intake but I don't think it will do much more thana Joez for a 250.
Or will it?
