I love the white and the BBS wheels in the picture. I'm still on the hunt for my wheels

Yeah that's the emblem for the Pre Collision/Radar Cruise models. Funny because that particular IS F did not come with Pre Collision/Radar Cruise when it was new. It's a non functioning grille emblem.

1. The LS600hL grille emblem itself is MSRP $938.28. It's the same price for the other models. The IS F grille for PCS/Radar Cruise MSRP: $161.39

2. Your local Lexus parts counter.

Just for info ,this pic below is inside a lexus dealership, they have a special room with a full wall mirror when you pick up the car.


I get mine delivered so I have not used that service.

Because mechanical performance and VIP style are not good friends. I'd call it pretty obvious these wheels were bought to maintain the car's track performance, not turn it into a VIP ride.

I think it looks great!

Longo Lexus has had a mirror in their underground delivery area for many years now, but not as nice...

That does look good.

However, over here the room is is a private room for the car and the buyer and they have a lounge set that is beside the car (not in the pitcure below) and serve all sorts of goodies while you finalise the paper work and the dealer explains the use of navi and functions ect,ect. Here is a bit better pic of when they deliver the car. They also have ducts that suck the exhaust gase that they put over the tailpipes so you can start the car, ect.

Cars in mirrors always look even nicer!

RS-GT is a nice tuner type wheel but on a super sedan like the IS-F, the LM just looks like a perfect mix of sport/class.
