They made some seriously surprising parts. As 1sick said, I am absolutely AMAZED at the carbon ceramic brakes. That is something I never saw coming, especially since I don't believe we've seen ANY Toyota car EVER with anything similar to these brakes. And here we see them debuting them as an OPTION for Lexus' smallest vehicle! They are really getting serious here, with the stabilizer bars, and so many options for the stick users. Very impressive.
I just wish the stuff wasn't designed so... I don't know, cheesily. The underbody stuff... fine, blue is ok. The brakes are nice too. But I just can't get over how cheesy and half hearted the F symbol looks in comparison to AMG, M and even V, especially plastered on that phallic carbon fiber engine cover. It is, for one, a good start though, and I am still mightily impressed.

I was quite surprised too, I don't see what a clutch upgrade is going to do for a car with 185 lb-ft of torque though. Improve clutch feel, I guess? The short shifter and Bilstein Shocks are what I would be interested in from that list.

Sorry, but I'm completely unimpressed. All show. Not a single GO part. Exhausts and intakes are lame, and everyone at Toyota and TRD knows it. 20+ years of TRD USA and they still can't hold a candle to Comptech. They suck.
BTW - Comptech doesn't have a spoon feed from Honda these days. TRD has access to EVERYTHING, but won't deliver.

This is much better than what L-tuned offered, I still can't believe it.
My assumption is the Carbon Ceramics will be really bought by IS-F owners.
GO LEXUS!!!
Good times for 2IS owners!!!
