I am very sorry to delay guys, just finished a 10 hour shift so I will sleep for a bit then snap some pictures.
I have the paper work from Lexus New Zealand. It was bought as a 2012 Lexus IS-F, then the options were ordered which was the stage 3 package and installed over here.
I double checked the differential as I really wanted to know what I had and yes sir I have the Drexler TRD differential. I noticed the F logo as well, what we do at work for layups is wet the carbon with a resin and then cut the shape required, stops any fraying as well as ensures easier even coverage over a large carbon cloth rather than an intricate shape.
Hope the helps anyone wanting to read my ramble. Thank you guys very much for the lovely welcome, I will have more pictures soon sorry.

Oh i see now, so basically its a regular ISF that a dealer customized with TRD parts. I thought that this was a super rare ISF that was built like that straight from the factory. None the less, that kit and those options are very rare and you are very lucky to have it! I dont want to ask because its not polite but i am curious how much the dealer was asking for this beast. I wonder if they even knew what they had sitting right in front of them?

Well technically isn't that just like a Dinan car. They are just Dinan parts but when ordered from the factory with them it's a "stage" badged vehicle. Makes it special nonetheless which is cool.

semnosNSX - you might have alerted me to something I should ask the dealership about, was the car brought over to New Zealand first and then kitted out or if it was built in house then shipped over. I'll see if I can get an answer.
From my past experience buying a GT86 with optional aero kit, they build the car and the aero separate, ship all the parts off the car to avoid damage then it's built up here again. I have a feeling that's how mine came since it was bought brand new from Lexus Japan and then the option kit added on to the build. Which if I think I am right means, it had the kit fitted, remove for shipping, then reassembled here and certified.

FFM - you are 100% correct, the IS-F never had a sub model called the CCS-P, it was only ever a staged package for owners to choose. Once chosen then a CCS-P is made, that's how I see it? I think lol
