Default Is this the rarest Lexus IS?

Hey guys! i just took delivery of a F sport with around 40,000 miles on it. My friend was the second owner but got it from a dealer that had no idea where it came from. It has a ClubLexus sticker and literally EVERY f sport option, brakes, wheels, intake, sway bars, exhaust. Manufactured 01/07 I was wondering if yall had any idea where this car came from? VIN decoder has said it was to South Bay Lexus in Torrance. It looks very similar to the F sport Lexus IS350 that was at SEMA.

Nice pickup, it's pretty clean! I think it's just a tastefully modded IS. It's missing the F sport suspension and springs and maybe the chassis brace for the full f sport treatment. Looks like it has a megan rear camber arm. Not sure what coilovers those are

Missing the F-sport engine cover and F-sport steering wheel as well. It also has the GFX front, sides and rear skirts. Is that an aftermarket grill?

Nice pickup, great looking car. Please post some pics after you clean that $5000 brake kit and $2000 set of wheels/tires!

Funny, I had seen this IS350 for sale on "AutoTrader" for awhile.

Glad to have found the person who bought it.

There was no F-Sport package until 2010-2011, so it’s just a regular IS with a bunch of accessories on it. Looks like a nice find.

Nice find! I picked up an IS 350 Sport (same color as yours) September 8th from a friend, a little over 52K, for $19K. Completely stock and very clean. Yours is a beauty!
