When I emailed asking about an upcoming promotion, the guy at Sewell said there were no plans for it and that the sale last summer was a one-time thing to launch the F-Sport line. But who knows.

Well, if they want to sell any F-Sport stuff to me they will have another one. The economy isn't near recovered enough for sales to just stop happening. Either way they will deny it all the way until the day it happens. Lets face it...they want you to not think there will be one so you buy at the regular price.

totally agree!!! I want to buy all the f-sport parts for my 06 IS350 but they have to do another big discount sale if they want to see my money

Count me in too if the sale happens again. Last year the sale ended the week I got my car. I wanted some parts but after paying about $2k in taxes on the car I did the smart thing and held off. If they do another sale like last year I'll definitely pick up the sway bars, lowering springs, and sport pedals.

I go to Sewell and definitely try that coupon code that people listed earlier. I didn't know about it when I went there.

I was lucky enough to buy my car 1 week before the promo was over. I was able to get springs, sway bar sets, intake, and shift ****. Wish I had gotten more though.

and how are the designs "unique"? no, really...

considering that some of the most popular f-sport parts are rebadged parts from other aftermarket manufacturers, there's nothing "unique" about f-sport parts aside from the brand. that, and those same parts can be had for less than what their f-sport-rebadged counterparts costs.

if anything, the only thing you're paying for is the ability to piggyback the parts onto the factory warranty, and that's only if you (over)pay to have an authorized lexus dealership install the parts.

okay, maybe you really, REALLY like the blue theme... but seriously?
