[QUOTE=IS3003o3;5830015]actually this is the F-sport lip. (courtesy of Sewell)



So is the F-sport lip really just a left and right side 'extension' to the lower lip in front of the fogs? Or is it the entire bumper? (Not to the mention the different grill, lower grill)...

pretty much just an extension for the left and right sides

Will definitely take care of this for sure. I actually came from a family of Lexus cars. Back in the day my dad drove a GX470 while mom drove an RX300. Sister drove the IS300 (hence why my username is IS300. i made this account back in 09 and forgot about it haha) After my dad got a Ford F250 super cab I ended up taking the GX for myself. That all changed when I sold the GX for the Audi and now back into a Lexus again. Feels goooood.

I have to say that i went to the dealer a few days ago to pick up a part and they had a new IS350 AWD outside. I have to say overall that i'm very dissappointed and it makes me even more proud to own my 2008 with the sports package. First off the split 5 spoke rims on the new IS350 are 17's and not the standard 18's that come on 350's, they also look redesigned and IMO look cheap. Overall the LED DRL's are the best part but it does not make up for the ugly mirrors, tailights, and front bumper. Overall I think the car looks cheaper than it did before, not to mention the wheelgap on the 350AWD with 17 inch rims looks horrendous.

Overall congrats on your purchase but the first thing i'd do is slap on new rims and drop it for sure.

Nice! This is the exact car I've been looking for. Congrats on the new purchase and welcome to the boards. As of right now, there doesn't seem to be much info on the 2011 350awd. What are the pros/cons between the 250awd and the 350awd?

Side note: I'm curious how many 250awd's Lexus will sell now there's a 350awd out.

Now, lets see some more pics!

everyone has their own opinion right? I do agree that for a 350 they cheaped out on the 17s. If you get a chance to look at the 350 Fsport later when they come in (rwd) i think you're opinion would change significantly.

I agree with my95tsi, the only thing good about the 2011 are the headlights..oh how I wish they were cheaper!
But still, beautiful car you got there, congrats!
