The dual dials don't bother me, but that's because I have those dials now. I guess it's a case of "you won't miss what you've never had". So the lack of an F Sport cluster doesn't phase me.
The thing that really bothers me with the IS350 F Sport Design is the lacking amenities - no ventilated seats, or heated steering. With the FSD I'd opt for the larger screen, and drop the moonroof (which I could care less about). But taking away the ventilated seats seems unnecessary and even extreme. Damn, even the IS300 gets both heated and ventilated seats when optioned with either the Comfort or Premium Packages.
So if I want to get a 2023 IS350 F sport and I want the blacked out window trim what option or package do I need to have in order to get it?
I want to ask the dealer to look out for an incoming car that has the options I want, ML, adaptive suspension and the blacked out window trim what package do I need?
I’m still really confused. I see people saying they’ve got it and others saying they didn’t get it. I don’t want the regular chrome.

From what I have gathered, it seems only the special appearance package is coming with the black window trim. That is the car painted in Incognito with the black hood. All other F-Sports have not come with the black window trim.

I don’t want incognito. I thought it was coming on other colors. Ok thanks.
I did notice some IS 500’s coming into dealers, been a long time since that’s happened.
It's official. The dark chrome window trim is no longer an option on the 350 F sport. Greedy ********s.
Good catch! They even went through and updated the stock photos of the cars. Before the 350s all showed black trim. Now they are back to chrome. I still feel like early buyers ought to be compensated.
Can't speak in his case, but in the owners manuals they warn you that the black finish can be damaged (removed) if not cleaned properly or too vigorously.
Same goes for the 2017+ F-Sport front grill trim.
You can easily screw up that finish if you don't take care of it.

I'm glad you brought that up. My 2020 F-Sport lower grille surround is like a darkened gold trim that easily stains. Waxing takes most spots out, but it's extremely vulnerable to staining. The car was even delivered with that trim stained. Is that what you are referring to? I know earlier 3IS's had a different color grille trim color, but mine is that darkened gold tone.

That's crazy. For the last three years I've always wondered what was up with that. This forum once again pays off! At the very least, once doesn't feel alone with certain issues. haha
I guess that'll be a 4th-genthing. I just don't see Lexus figuring a way to bolt up the current V35A engine to the older IS platform. ... it is entirely possible the next-gen "IS 350" will actually use the T24A-FTS, .
Given that i might go for a CPO is500, just wondering if there's any news, chatter, words in d grape vine, or insider info regarding (release of) "4th-gen&/or next-gen is350", or what they might even call it?
Interesting that so much info said the 23 350 FSD would have the base interior and instruments, but my IS350 F Sport is without the dynamic handling package but it definitely does have the F seats and digital tach moving instruments.
Did anyone take delivery of a 350 F with the non F seats and dual gauge analog cluster?
