lol same, especially the wallpaper with the black IS. I have a starfire pearl and would like to see how the rims look in a good quality picture or in person, but I bet it'll be really hard to find.

I've seen them at a local Lexus dealer but it was on display and unmounted. Quality is very good IMO. Those rims are in my future plans.

I am running 45 PSI rear right now....it's all a matter of preference. I've got a bit of a stretch on my tires, so I am trying to maximize my contact patch, and 45 seems to be just about perfect. Without the stretch, I might be more like 41 rear.

Looks like a neat site, not yet linked through Lexus.com, hopefully it will be accurately informative as the line progresses.

Sweet. I would have liked them to do the performance tests on an IS350, but I guess it would be the same difference. I love the wallpapers! Thanks.

I'm not sure if it's true - but I read that the carbon filter is no longer in the path of the air. The activated charcoal is at the bottom of the box because the gas vapors are more dense so af the engine is off, the vapors go up the tube and down to the bottom of the box where the carbon filter sits instead of behind the filter element thus reducing a little more obstruction. That's how the IS-F is (I believe).

Make sure you disable your pop-up blocker.

As far as I know and seen the Carbon filter remains at the same place in the air box lid. Also from what I've discovered is that the Carbon filter doesn't obstruct airflow at all.

mozillas pop up blocker appeared when I first tried. A small prompt under the address bar appears when it blocks a popup. Then I just click the button and allow pop ups for f-sport.com

mmmm 1900x1200 IS wallpapers

Correct James!!

Since the same OEM lid is used, the carbon filter remains permanently attached in the F-Sport intake application..
