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.

No. That's a Mini Disc slot. It's standard issue in Japan in lieu of a cassette deck.

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.

It's a safety issue. There was also a proposal to make amber a worldwide standard, fyi. Not all countries agreed though, so it is tabled for now.

How about a photoshopped IS-F outer taillight with the new inner taillight?

I wonder if that will look weird...

Thats sounds logical, but not entirely correct...

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.

I see they made the top part of the doors and the armrest on the the sterling interior black now - smart move - they get dirty so fast!

Mister T

I believe it's a marketing decision.

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.

Thats my idea... those theives. I was the first person to do that in October 2005 when I bought my 06. And I wanted the Grey Birds Eye Maple in my car too.

They keep stealing my ideas! If Aluminum gauges show up in the IS... I'll SUE! =)

I think it looks better with the black and it's a lot cleaner!!
