"Silly" and "cool" are not mutually exclusive in this case. Of course, you don't need the F Sport cluster, but it feels like it belongs in this car more than the other one, IMHO. To each their own. If the F Sport models had the regular gauges, I would still consider buying them, FWIW.

I got the F-sport and I dropped off my car at auto shop last week to do full frontal clear bra, windows and windshield tint and ceramic pro on all windows.
I am thinking doing ceramic pro on rest of the car too but budget is tight haha.
Also deciding if I should get a black vinyl warp on roof. Suggestion ?

Black roof wrap would look great on these cars IMO. The only reason I havnt done it is that I live in south Texas and don't want the extra heat that a black roof would absorb.

Sure, but I think he was just saying, for a car that's 3-4 years old, under 50k is pretty average/below-average mileage. Besides, why buy a car with lots of miles on it if you can afford to get one with fewer miles?

I kinda think its just ok (cool the first couple of times), I agree with other poster preferring the normal analog speed cluster. Mine is the Executive edition with analog which is what i wanted. I wish it would have the blue light around it like my old 2007 IS250awd had. For me that was pretty elegant and cool.
