Same here and somehow I knew that LFA gauge could be only for F-sport and now here it is. The grill design is started to grow on me though.

I think the Infiniti Q50 looks great....for an older gentlemen I think the IS350 will attract the younger crowd finally. The non-F sport versions look awesome...really classy but aggressive. I actually like the traditional Tach/Speedometer vs. the F-sports. Does anyone know if the non-F sport can get the paddle shifters? Finally, a useable back seat too!

I'm hoping the reviews come in positive for the handling. At this point, that is my only concern...

Yes. Only F-sport gets LFA gauge.

I think the color of the car will certainly determine how aggressive or should I say "in your face" the f sport bumper will reveal. On a white car it will be "in your face". On the nebula gray it looks more toned down as it blends into the color more. Black even more so. Therefore, I won't rule out the f sport. Will be easier to add fog lights to the f sport bumper than to change bumpers.

Maybe we can still work on getting that corrected....!!!

This is a POLL to show Lexus USA our opinion on "Fog Lights" for the 2014 IS F-Sport

Guys guys guys... relax!

What you'll do is get the F-sport, and install the JDM fog lights that will certainly be released at some point.

(See Vossen's white G350, which they installed an F-sport front on, and JDM fog lights that are made for the shape of the openings on the f-sport bumper.)
