Very cool, so you can buy all the circuit club sport parts now from the show car in TAS last year

Good thing I am not into the IS-F, otherwise I would want all those insanely price very tasty OEM performance parts

$18k for the body kit, $14k for the coilovers, $9k for the wheels..........nice

So if you put everything onto a 2012 IS-F, it would cost more then a brand new fully loaded 2012 F10 M5, awesome

I just want the front lip and rear diffuser.

Those aluminum wheels save 10kg. I don't really like the look though (not that I like the stock wheels or anything).

Google translate is pretty useful for these things.

I'll echo the comments about the applauding of Lexus to continue more than just cosmetic changes each year. I'm somewhat interested in upgrading, but have had this body style/interior mostly since Dec. of 05 with my '06 IS350. Debating a used M3 now, until the new F/M3 come out, then it'll be a whole new debate. In the meantime, Kudos to Lexus for having a seat at this luxo-performance table!

AMEN, can't believe they actually came out with those parts.

Used IS F's are going to be one of THE most popular used cars.

I wonder who makes those coilovers. Curious to see how they perform.

What? You don't like the stuff that TRD USA supplies? TRD stickers, t-shirts, and pens aren't cool enough?

TRD USA does suck, but I blame the consumer here. Too many people aren't willing to fork out money for quality stuff so quality TRD parts aren't viable in the US market.

Hopefully that will change...

Damper looks like SACHS, probably Eibach or Swift springs.
