Ah,
Finally some pics. Looks like the tails are modeled after the ES. PhillipsMSPT will be happy about the Birds Eye Maple wood kit. Man does that look sharp. I cannot wait to see this car in person.

The overhead shot of the gray birds eye wood on the center console I haven't seen before. Finally, a wood that works with the sterling interior! I'm excited.

The 2008 IS-F tail lights (World Wide) have the clear lense for the turn signal area.
However, the turn signal bulbs used are of course Amber...
^^ This very same concept was used in the 2001-2005 IS300's (World Wide)
The 2006-2009 regular 2IS models for some reason, Lexus incorporated the Amber lense finish to the tail light designs and of course used a clear bulb instead for the turn signals... just another designers decision..
The 2009 IS tail light could have easily been designed with a Clear lense & an amber turn signal bulb..

Do u think it will be possible to swap my red wood for the gray wood? If so what do u think the approx cost for something like this? How much would dealer charge approx?? Not the steering wheel just the other pieces. $500.00-$1,000.00??
I REALLY like how that looks.

IIRC, the red wood trim retails for around $1500. I'm hoping some kind of GB or sale would bring it well below $1000...but that may be just wishful thinking.

It took over two year for Lexus to release the current IS-F clear tails for an ISx50.. I bet in the future either on an ISx50 or more likely an IS-F, these new tail lights will be offered without any amber lense and they will cost a pretty penny to upgrade.
