Yup, they look good but it is IS250 FSport. I didnt see 350 and that is a problem.

I remember seeing them.. Felt they were a bit over the top and wasn't a big fan. I could be remembering the wrong thing though. I really think there needs to be more factory performance options with the f sports

^^^ This. What's up with Lexus and the visual gimmicks? How about another 50hp on 350 instead?

Love the 2-tone interior and red stitching, but not a fan of obsidian wheels, door handles, and side mirrors

Agreed! I like the colour matched mirrors and door handles much better.

+1 on the black everything not working. I think it looks 'riced', outdated and isn't classy enough for a luxury car - at least on the white pictured. Maybe the whole 'plastidip everything' craze has ruined the look for me.

You're in luck! x4 door handles blacked out + x2 mirrors black out at 20hp each = 120 hp!

I wonder if they had an overstock of obsidian handles and mirrors and was like oh **** how do we get rid of them. I know make some bs limited edition and put them on ultra white cars.

When is this supposed to come into effect? My 2015 doesn't have the black handles, mirrors, etc. IMO those make the car look cheap. They should do the black roof on the IS like they do on the F-Sport CT instead of the handles and nonsense.
