The kit looks good too. Not sure about the front lip though. The white fogs are a must!
Damn Lexus for not making these standard.

I love the 15-spoke rims; it may not be chrome but they look really aggressive. Body kit and spoiler is a must after seeing it on the car. The HID fog lights would be a nice touch, but I don't think it's necessary, especially here in SoCal.

Looks great to me but remember this is not US website so U.S. may not have these options. I'd love to see the rear spoiler with a full pic of rear, I wonder if this bodykit will make the rear look less square? Rear spoiler could help with this possibly.

My Japanese is a little rusty, but I think the Japanese IS can be equipped with a hard disk (30gb) music player for downloaded music. I hoped the US IS doesn't come with GREEN backlighting in the center console--that's so econo-carish.

Who needs an iPod anymore when you've got a 30GB HDD built-in?
Besides storing music, the page also says the HDD is used to secretly record your most frequently traveled roads, so after it learns your preferences for a while its recommended routes in the navigation guidance will become closer to your preferred ways. Just brilliant. Why are we not getting it?

fortunately we can hook up an I-Pod or MP3 player if one feels inclined. I am just glad it can play mp3--6 cd's of mp3 ought to play for a long time. I also noticed that JDM IS can be equipped with a in-car camera as part of the burglar alarm system.
