Default F Sport Accessories at NAIAS in Detroit

Does anyone have any info about the F Sport accessories being shown at the NAIAS in Detroit? Lexus Enthusiast posted a picture of an IS with what looks like new F Sport wheels and probably exhaust, but I can't seem to find any real information.

Scroll down on this post to the IS that is sitting on 4 poles.

The wheels are already on the Lexus website. Click on the f-sport tab.

OK, the wheels on the website are different than the ones on display. I like the display car!

Are the F-Sport springs worth getting at all? Are they just to drop an inch and that's it?

Thanks for the video MDTaco! Nice to finally have confirmation that this stuff is coming, instead of just assuming it would be.

x2 ! Excited about the lowering springs @ 1 inch as it just may be the best compromise for both function (still providing enough clearance for our Canadian snowy winters) and form (decent looking drop).


For a brief moment in the video, I thought the background car accelerating was the F-Sport exhaust on the 3IS, but it's got to be the only production super car in the world with an F1 banshee scream like that!
