Same here. I couldn't find a non-sunroof IS F back when I was buying.

Although it's almost always nice weather here, I would delete the sunroof, especially since I do track the car from time to time. The headlight washers, though packaged with my particular build, becomes more of an inconvenience when waxing. It rarely serves a function here in So Cal.

I don't quite understand the red interior thing. I'll admit that the red interiors tend to look really good when new and the leather isn't shiny looking, but then they get old and shiny and they look played out.

lol at shiny and played out

the only thing that makes a matte finish shiny and played out is dirt,sweat, and grease.

this happened with my interior, after i got some leather cleaner, it took that shine off and made it look factory again.

keep it clean, keep it mean.

Good stuff. I totally respect the opinion of those who are in favor of the red...for me the red interiors just make me cringe at the sight of them. So over the top.

I would delete the Mark Levinson garbage system! First time I've ever owned a car who's radio ever died on it. This has been a lesson for me to never get another car that has an 'infotainment' system so integrated into other systems like Navi and Climate Control ever again!

I bought mine used so I didn't have a say, but 100% the moonroof.
That thing is absolutely useless for me and I would've preferred having a bit more head space.

Also the useless nav.

One thing that gets me is the MESS under the hood when you take the engine and side covers off, this is not an attractive look, and the stupid plain oil dipstick oil filler cap water overflow bottle and cap o sh#t better stop before Lexus read this HA HA.

Headlamp washers.

Everything else at least works as advertised, but I'm not convinced they do anything other than add to whatever mess you're trying to clean. It's especially bad, because they normally activate with the regular wipers, when the headlights are on (IIRC, I've long disabled this). I don't know why Lexus thought that was necessary.

I wouldn't delete anything, I would do a color combo I was originally after( like white/red interior or USB/black interior) and add factory LSD, and I would add the "F" headrest like on the later model. Besides that I like everything the car came with
