Dealer Order Guide
Has anyone come across a dealer order guide for the 2014 IS?
The website is terrible and doesn't make clear what is actually available...

Yeah, the website configurator is pretty awful since it limits what configurations you can include in your search. If you're planning on custom-ordering, it's easier to view the features page:
http://www.lexus.com/models/IS/features/
Here, you can check out the different tabs for all the details. Start with the 'All Features' tab first to get an idea of what's standard, then flip over to the 'Options and Packages' tab to see pricing for individual options. As far as limitations for the US market, the ones I'm aware of are:
- Premium Package / Luxury Package / Luxury and Technology Package cannot be ordered with the F-Sport Package
- VGRS is not available for AWD models
- Mark Levinson may not be available for the IS-250 (not 100% sure on this)
The brochure also has a list of all the options like the site, but without pricing: http://www.lexus.com/lexus-share/v2/...S-Brochure.pdf

I think the lexus site is actually good. Some options cannot be added to the F sport package. like f sport and luxury package are a no go. If the dealer sends this order into Lexus, it will be denied. I hope your sales person knows what will work and what won't.

I've been to lexus.com, but never came across the pages you list.
Confused as to why the All-Weather Package, Rear Sunshade and Parking Assist options are not found in dealer inventory in the NY-NJ-CT Tri-State area.
Otherwise, thought F Sport and Parking Assist weren’t able to be combined, but I see it’s an option on F Sport models…?

It is sad that in this day and age, Lexus does not release the ordering guide for their cars while BMW has them readily available. I believe this is because Lexus is not as receptive and encouraging for customers to special order their cars unlike BMW. BMW does so far as to offer BMW Individual, for a truly custom experience.
The best ordering guide I've found so far has been the pdf linked above. I actually picked up the brochure from the local dealership and pored over it at home. What's sad is there's a Canadian order guide posted on this forum, but none for US.
Once you figure out your custom configuration, good luck finding a competent dealer to handle the order. The folks at the first two dealerships I kept telling me my configuration could not be built, despite what the brochure was saying. One told me there were changes to the build options after the brochure was printed. Yeah.

I have a 2011 BMW 750Li xDrive Individual (Citrin Black over Amaro Brown with Piano Black Wood, amongst other special order features) and while BMW is vastly superior to Lexus in terms of special ordering a vehicle, unless in California, good luck finding a BMW dealer competent on BMW Individual! I went through hell ordering mine and ultimately had to deal directly with Germany, which BMWNA didn't like; a lot of wasted time to say the least. In sum, I learned BMW dealers dislike BMW Individual orders because they feel they risk getting stuck with the car if the customer walks...

Park Assist
I think they are referring to this from http://www.lexus.com/models/IS/features/.
In the middle of the image is states "Intuitive Parking Assist" is available on the F Sport. I'm placing my order today and I have this question to my dealer, who is very competent.
