One of my friends told me he saw a IS2500 in Texas, i asked him if the last zero looked off. he said yes. why would someone put another 0. It doesnt even make sense.

I agree with most of you; if I had a 250 I would never get a 350 badge, but at the end it's his car and I think he has the right to do whatever he wants

There's always people that can tell anyways

IS250 has single-piston front calipers.
IS350 has 4-piston front calipers with much larger rotors.

06-10 IS250 sedan has solid rear rotors.
IS250C, IS350 and 11-12 IS250 F-Sport sedan has vented rear rotors.

True and in the end 99% of people are not going to know the difference. Still makes me wonder what the dude was thinking
