Doing a quick comparison of the IS350 stock engine bay and the "F sport intake"
I would say it probably won't do much of anything.. almost looks like they replaced the rubber intake hose with just a chrome replacement.

"F-Induction" (c) Namir


can we get some F-in induction?

PS. whats this stuff on motor trends article about F-sport
"Lexus Genuine Accessory Ground Effects Kit
For a lower, more aggressive appearance, this color-keyed four-piece body kit includes front and rear valences and side skirts.

Lexus Genuine Accessory Rear Spoiler
This rear deck mounted, color-keyed lip-style spoiler provides the finishing touch for the sport-tuned enthusiast."

Is that the same kit/spoiler thats been available or is there a new F-sport kit?

No prices mentioned at the press conference... One thing I was very impressed by was how the chassis brace does not reduce clearance AT ALL:

I also like the implementation of the F-Sport branding on the chassis braces themselves:





The new wheels? Meh... I could do without them. I do love how the carbon fiber engine cover looks. However, I worry about how a piece like this would survive the engine bay heat. I would hate for this to yellow from the heat...
