Default Are these the braking ducts for the regular 3IS?

Revisited a local dealership today and saw a regular non F Sport IS.

Thanks to the poor car wash, I spotted something that I didn't notice. There is a giant opening besides the fog light on each side. The size of the opening of the bumper can fit an orange but the other end of the tunnel is narrowed in the wheel well area.

Does anyone know what it is for? Braking duct for regular IS?

Andy, I was at my dealer tonight for an unveiling of the IS and I noticed that too and my guess is the same as yours.
