I think it's sometime between late summer and then fall. The last time they had one, the F-Sport coupon expired in November 2010 but I think it started in September 2010 or something. I threw it away so I can't remember.
Thanks! Did you dealership put "Lexus" on your rear end or did you put one on? I'm actually pretty used to having it without the badge, this being my first Lexus. 
Thanks, RastaRacer! Yeah, I remember you mentioned your springs. It is noticeably stiffer than the factory F-Sport suspension when you hit little bumps in the road. I don't think there's any noticeable handling improvement. I've only had it lowered for one day so far though.

Ground Effects Rear Bumper Lip Installed!
I searched around for a ground effects rear bumper lip and finally ended up buying one.
My installer guy put it on with the 3M method plus some screws in hard-to-see places. I was thinking about the cut and drill method though if this does not work out.
I like the clean hint of aggressiveness it adds. Too bad the F-Sport package does not just come with a full body kit!
I took a few photos with my cellular phone. I would've wiped down the car and used my digital camera but it started raining when I stopped to take the pictures! I'll take some better pictures in the future. Hopefully I'll have the F-Sport exhaust and other things too.

UGH I was content with just my recent mod of installing the F Sport splitters but after seeing your ummmmm "rear" now it looks as if I may need to look for a gfx lip too 
Love the look of the ride though I don't know if the gfx sides would make a big difference
those look too similar to the oem sides IMHO

I felt the same way. I wasn't seriously planning on the doing the rear lip until recently when my brother suggested it and the guy who installed my lowering springs said he could do some body work too. I haven't added anything to the car the whole summer and the F-Sport exhaust didn't go on sale, so I went ahead with it!
You already got the front splitters so the rear would be great next, if you couldn't get both the rear and sides and had to pick one. Rastaracer was saying in his other thread that once you get the sides, you start to notice it but it's hard to go off of the photos. I kind of want the sides now to "complete the set" but only if they are reasonably priced.

our ride is just too ,too quiet and my wife had an x pipe on her C Class so we're both used to a niceee growl when accelerating ! Though the gfx lopsided isnt that bad off a price at $300 something from Sewell so I just might bite the bullet though I'd need to ship it to my buddies house so my Mrs won't see it ssssshhhhhhh

I agree, the IS is too quiet! Doesn't seem like Lexus is gonna do the F-Sport sale this year, so if the F-Sport exhaust isn't on sale by the end of this year, I think I'm just gonna buy it. Tired of waiting!
Haha. I won't say anything.
Be sure to put up some photos of your car once you get the GFX rear lip put on, man!
