Sorry, let me clarify, I don't have sport pedals, but if i wanted to upgrade, rather than having them cut my black pedal aka "hack" job. They could just install the newer sport pedal?
I guess i'll just have to ask the service advisors.

Prepare to pay a bit, it would be a worthwhile upgrade.

For those of you with IS350's and sport pck, have you gotten anything from Lexus in regards to the recall yet?

I have not received anything yet for the wifes 2008 IS350 sport.

I will probably ignore the recall, I must be one of those people who actually removes the carpeted mats before placing my winter rubber ones in place

From what I have heard the letters are going out on Monday, you should all start to see them next week.

I got that done today. It's not that bad. It feels like it's higher than before.

Yeah they called me...and I told them I had sport pedals...they put me on hold why they talked to their service adviser. Then they said he didn't know and would call me back the next day (Saturday). It is now Monday afternoon and have yet to hear back. So, I am guessing they have no clue what to do on the sport pedals....and until they do I'd rather die of a stuck pedal.

Keppie are they doing the ECU Brake override upgrade as well?

I took my IS350 in for service and they said they are required to do both.

And in the meantime I have an HS250H loaner. Interesting car to say the least. Definitely not an IS350.

Definitely not....


......

It does have nice interior ergonomics, though.
