Of course Lexus will honor the warranty .. these are almost entirely cosmetic accessories!

why do people want F/I, F/I 250 = buy a 350, F/I a 350 = buy an IS-F

Wow, very nice.
Ceramic brakes are sick, the calipers look so familiar "Stoptech's"
But at least, its better then what other manufacturers offer.
I see myself upgrading the clutch for sure and maybe the sway bars.

a supercharged IS350 is quite a bit cheaper than a ISF espcially for me since i got mine fully loaded for $35,500 with only 13k miles

I must strongly disagree with your logic. Throwing a used car purchase into the mix is like throwing a muscle car into the mix. You also have to consider the added depreciation that would come with an aftermarket SC. The car would actually be worth LESS after spending $5K on the SC. The total cost of ownership of a 2IS with an aftermarket SC would easily be more than a stock IS-F.

theres no real point for lexus to make a factory backed supercharge with the IS350 and IS-F around

well in my situation its pretty logical.. i dont plan on getting a new car for a lonnnnggg time and supercharging it is my best bet for going fast, cant afford the new ISF and i dont mind depreciating it, im not gonna get rid of it till it falls apart completely, its not like a car is an investment...
