does anybody know? I like them new LED headlamps and would like to get them installed if I knew for sure they will work in my IS350C.

Hey there. Welcome. I think they were discussing that here but not sure if it answers your question.

The black window trim really ties together the black car. But the tires look way too dinky and the wheel gap- like so often- ruins the whole sport-look idea. So close, yet so far!

Thanks for the link; looks like quite a few members are wondering the same; I'll follow that thread as well.

Starting on Page 2 of the Toyota USA Newsroom's IS C Image Library ( http://pressroom.toyota.com/pr/tms/l...spx?ncid=13517 ) is a bunch of pictures of a Deep Sea Mica IS C.

Full disclosure, though: Lexus merely took the 2010 pictures that were in Ultrasonic Blue and photoshopped them into Deep Sea Mica.

Joe do you have any "insider" knowledge on what to expect on the next gen IS? Also someone posted earlier in this thread if the headlights on the '11 model can be swapped to the 06-10's. A mechanic at my dealer said it wasn't possible because of the wiring. Can anyone research that a little bit? I'm guessing the LED DRL's doing double duty as the parking lights they stay on all the time.

Sewell already sells a plug and play kit to swap the 2011 lights. It's crazy expensive but teaches you to never listen to what the guy at the local dealership tells you.

Oh and another thing about the 2011 IS 350, they have the headlights and tailights slightly factory smoked which looks awesome.

Default F sport colors

Does anyone know if the F Sport package is available in all colors, specifically GFM? I am probably not going to try to extend my lease in October so I am looking at my options.

One dealership I talked to said the 2011 F-Sport package was not available in all colors and that it was only available in certain colors. Not 100% sure if this is correct but that's what I heard from one place.

That is what I was afraid of. It would look really good in GFM

You are missing at least one color. I've got a 2011 IS 350 F-Sport in Tungsten.

I just picked one up in November. I really wanted GFM and told them that was the only color I was interested in. They told me they did a nation search for an F-Sport GFM and zero came back. They had a starfire pearl in their inventory but I was stuck on GFM. They said I had to special order one to get GFM, approx 4 month wait with a $2,500 non-refundable deposit. ...I told them I'd think about.

the next day, they called me up and offered me a REALLY good deal on the starfire pearl... I love GFM and all but I couldn't pass up on that deal lol.
