Thanks!

Now, if my predictions are right, I believe the non-F 3IS might come with a front bumper part that splits the front grille. This didn't come out perfect, but it should give you an idea of what it should look like more or less...

I'm pretty sure Hoovster works at a Lexus dealer or has some close ties to the company. Thanks for the info Hoovster!

Nice! That means you will have the chance to test drive a 3IS before most of us . Cool! Are you planning on getting one?

I agree. On another note, I'm wondering because of this how much of a problem it will be for many of the guys on here who want to mod the car. I only mention it because say the lower you go, the more likely your wheel will hit the bumper tab which in turn misaligns the bumper. I can only imagine that LED DRL being covered by a part of the bumper or possibly even damaged. We'll soon find out when it lands and people start to mod

Also food for thought, I wonder if they headlights and LED DRLs are connected similar to how the 3GS quad headlights were all one unit or if they are separate.

Honestly probably not until May when Lexus sends us to training on the cars before their launch. As far as I know dealers are expecting their first Demo's in late May and sales beginning in June.

As for me, I'll have to drive it first obviously, but so far I like what I see (especially the interior). I may keep my 2IS (as it's already paid for) and just lease a 3IS though under my master lease program and hopefully keep it stock. We'll see though, I'd like to get a house soon so that would be priority
