Default Identify RC350 FSPORT by VIN?

Is there anyway to tell if an RC350 AWD has the FSPORT package by the VIN#? I've looked my VIN up on several sites and no-where is it listing F-SPORT at all. Just comes up with RC350 AWD. Any help would be appreciated. I tried purchasing some Disk rotars for my brakes, and they came the wrong size and they told me that I do not have an F-SPORT. But when I look up the VIN, they are seemingly correct as no where in the VIN decoder is my car coming back as F-SPORT. But all my badges and interior steering wheel all show F-SPORT and that is the way it was branded from the dealer that I purchased it from.

When going to Lexus.com, entering my VIN # , I can find everything right there.
It shows port installed options, factory installed (which is where mine shows F-sport
options, and so on. https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/history

FYI, If you're just concerned about ordering brake rotors for your RC-F-sport AWD, then all you have to know is that your OEM front brake rotors are 334mm (outer diameter).

What does your steering wheel look like? My '15 does not have F Sport badging on the steering wheel.

Thanks everyone. I contacted LEXUS and they did confirm that mine is an AWD F-SPORT RC350. The brake shop insists that my front rotars need to be 356mm. I see that they OEM ones are 334mm. So of course they will not fit! Let's see if this brake shop can get this right!
