No it's not, for the 2011+ IS F-Sport:

Front bumper spoilers/lips, rear trunk spoiler, different grilles, grille surround, different wheels, black headliner, different seats (leather/Alcantara for USA, leather for Canada), different steering wheel, aluminum pedals, aluminum door sills, different shocks, different springs, different sway bars, larger vented rear brakes (IS250 only), different rear suspension geometry (knuckle and control arms are different).

In Canada, the F-Sport package also had rain-sensing wipers, memory seat (driver's) and mirrors, auto dimming side mirrors, power tilt/telescopic steering column, heated/ventilated seats with perforated leather.

That's off the top of my head, there might be a couple other things I am forgetting. Note that none of the stuff that came on the F-Sport model was actually the F-Sport accessories which are sold by Lexus USA. The different shocks and springs for example are not the same as the F-Sport lowering springs or the F-Sport Bilstein shocks.

so basically all that stuff to convert, you might as well just bought an f sport off top lol. unless the OP just does all the cosmetic "upgrades"
