the matte carbon fiber on the interior center panel looks like carbon fiber vinyl wrap, which can be removed easily - i'd guess it's probably the same texalium weave seen in other IS-F's underneath the vinyl wrap.
it also looks like the previous owner painted the brake calipers F-Sport blue and slapped on some F-Sport decals for the F-Sport BBK look, even though F-Sport BBK's have larger calipers w/ a linear (vs. curved) decal and two-piece rotors...
which look something like this:

same for the rear.
again, just looks like the previous owner painted the brake calipers F-Sport blue and slapped a F-Sport decal on them.
i wouldn't jump to the conclusion that you got "screwed", because i still think it's inconclusive (despite the pics you've posted).
if anything, it's more like, you got an F w/ customized touches.

oh yeah the defenitly look like not real f sport brakes, either way they still stop perfect for me. and 32k for an Isf with 41k miles is a pretty darn good price, and anything extra is a bonus to me..i wonder if the 2011 headlights are fake too...lol

32k is a good price for 41,000 mile car, is that your out the door price? If so, that is even better.
It is a shame the car has been modified with the sticker carbon fiber, painted calipers and changed headlights and dangerous lug nuts.
I would be upset if I bought a car like this and the previous owner mickey moused some stuff. Good thing you found the forums to you can correct some of it.
Hopefully you can fix it all and bring it back to its normal state!
As far as parts for the car, make sure you have your VIN on hand and hit up your local lexus dealer or order parts online from Sewell Lexus.
