Wow, looks much nicer in regular pictures.
I'm loving those sideview mirrors. (Sewell should offer these for the people with 06-08 IS)
The front bumper looks nice. A modest version of the ISF bumper.
The grill doesn't look too bad now.
Still dont' like the taillights though.

I liked the new side signal mirrors and wanted them on my 08, but now that I see the chrome around the turn signal, I am having a change of heart.

very very subtle change, especially on the front bumper. I had to look at the pics for a min until I realize where the difference is. I guess that they have the auto folding side mirror on the 09.

Thanks for the pix!

the chrome grille surround is slightly different and the pillars between the air dam and fog lights is slightly bulkier and more IS-F-ish

I would like to see 09 IS-F tails, if they change the amber to white. would look very nice, though it will look much like the ES350.
