Default New Paddle Shifters For 2012 IS?
Obviously the only big change for 2012 is the relocation of the traction control switch but has any noticed what looks to be new paddle shifters in the pictures on the Lexus website? Not sure if this has been touched upon yet.

I think it's a convertible gauge.

It is the vert, which I didn't know had a different gauge package. Numbers and needles are different and there's no blue. Real or photo booboo?

A very slight difference. It was hard for me to notice at first. Not bad!

not worth me changing unless I do a steering wheel swap, and they are cheap.
