Got mine done today. While at the dealership, I noticed an IS250C on the floor. It had the old mirror in it. It was a June build, and the TSB was dated in July I believe, so it missed the new mirror.
^^^^It seems a bit more stable than the old one. Seems to be a bit bigger. The compass can be turned off. IMO, it goes better with the interior. Also, I think the compass letters are a wee bit smaller. The juries still out on the front push HomeLink buttons vs the bottom push.

I got mine replaced on Tuesday and they installed the same model that I had before (not the one with the Homelink buttons in front). It works fine I guess, a bit more stable.

thats weird. i do think yours is smaller the new one we got is kinda bulky!
Done! they decided to replace my wheels due to brake dust pitting! but they said only once! they said to wax them all the time! so i hope i dont have problems again!

Ya know, I'm not sure you had it done. You're the first forum member who has reported this, and the TSB has specific PNs that include the mirror assy, a cover, and a new wire. I'd question your dealer as to why the mirror still looked the same.

Scheduled my appt for tomorrow at Newport Lexus in Newport Beach, CA at 7:00 p.m. They ordered the parts a few minutes ago. The parts guy told me they might have them tomorrow for the appt.
I was there when they requested new mirror, wire, and something else (3 things). The mirror is new, I can see that, but it's the same model as the original. At least it works better now.

This is completely off topic, but after reading the whole PDF I wonder if the new Torsen LSD could be retro fitted to the 08-09 ISF. I guess there are more things involved, IIRC our current ISF has an ESD which works with the brakes, it'd have to be disabled, right? Also the electronics behind the VSC would need to be updated.
Most performance mods need a watch and timed course to demonstrate actual improvement. Few deliver the advertised claims. Many are actually worse than stock. The best performance mods are made to the driver.
Emotional arguments - They're not just for chicks anymore.

AFAIK, there is no way to disable the electronic LSD. Updating appears to be quite a bit more problematic than just swapping out the skid control ECU since they've moved it to another location in the car. Not sure what will or won't happen if the mechanical LSD is used with the existing electronic one, but it doesn't sound like a good plan.

I sat there for over 90 minutes and they told me they did not receive
87844-53020 INNER MIRROR WIRE
not installed yet, so I will wait for them to contact me.
