Any of u guys with the ISC's gonna pick or look into the "OTRS "
PTR53-00100 $99 MSRP
ONBOARD TIRE REPAIR SYSTEM. OTRS is intended to repair punctures of up to ¼ inch diameter in the tread area of the tire. The tire repair is temporary. Though the tire will last for up to 500 miles, the intention is to allow the motorist to quickly and safely complete the repair, get back on the road, and proceed as soon as possible to an authorized tire repair facility to have the tire permanently repaired.

I think this is more analogous to an uber sports package. Good thing they're only making 100 of these, I don't think there's much of a market for this type of package. Cool idea though.

Here's a cropped version of the rear end shot that was released along with the front end shot at the top of the story:
And here's an enlarged and, again, cropped version of that front end shot:
While my prediction about the wheels in our recent Front Page story turned out to be correct, my thoughts on the special F-Sport grille presumably replacing the standard vertical upper grille bars with a zigzag mesh pattern reminiscent of the IS F and the F-Sport package IS sedans available in other markets turned out to be way off base. If, nevertheless, that grille is giving you a strong sense of déjà vu, you're not mistaken, for that Rorschach inkblot test pattern of a grille that may be construed as a number five (as in its designer Troy Sumitomo's Five Axis outfit) or as the top of the Lexus "F", Fuji Speedway-inspired logo first appeared in the [url=http://my.is/forums/f45/lexus-sema-2008-more-information-emerges-373795/">2008 Lexus IS 350 with F-Sport Accessories[/url] SEMA show car and then in its successor 2009 IS 350C F-Sport by TRD, as shown below:
While I love that grille pattern, it clashes horrendously with the lower grille's -pattern of vertical diamond or lozenge-shaped rhombuses that remind this author of an endless sea of Renault logos. I'd say it's akin to wearing a striped polo shirt with plaid shorts...

ISF and LS460 Sport are the only Lexus sold currently with a M-Mode/Sport Direct shift aka sequential shift mode for the 8spd auto.

IS-C Special Edition F-Sport Grille
PTR54-53100 MSRP $315
The front grille upgrade features a durable injection-molded F-Sport design integrated to the OE surround—adding a touch of distinction to the front end, without compromising air intake or performance.
Note:
CONFLICTS WITH OPTIONAL DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL
The weight of the OE grille with badge is 1.35lbs and the F-Sport grille with badge is 1.25lbs, so the weight delta is -0.1lbs.

That doesn't seem too bad......now the question (for non-vert owners on CL): is it interchangeable with the sedans and 06-08/09+
Well, that's gotta be worth like 0.000001 second in the quarter mile 
J/k.....great info though. Thanks for posting the updates.
