The Back looks good, big F-Sport badge though.
the trunk spoiler isnt going to be body colored for the F-sport?

1. I love the charcoal grey trim instead of silver
2. Grill is okay....not a fan to be honest
3. Wheels need to be 20s...why a bigger car than the IS still has 19s?
4. Front/side/rear valance fine

Overall, I'm happy they are doing it!

Agree. Grille looks happy...would definitely like to see other pics. That said, Lexus really seems to be taking this seriously. Maybe if F Sport takes off we will see forced induction options from the factory in a few years.

lol, to be fair, you see 19s on m3 but you don't see 20s (stock) on m5

ok, jokes aside, is that a custom car? nice touch on the front grill trim, silver instead of chrome

"The F-Sport wheels require the use of spline-drive lug nuts, which are included in the available Wheel Installation Kit."

Are these just special nuts requiring a special socket or do they replace the studs in the hubs? I'm guessing just nuts other wise you couldn't swap out for winter tires/rim combos.

Wow... !!

Another special concept build GS350 by Troy Sumitomo & the Five Axis Design team..

The Paint color scheme, grill and Tail lights were the give aways for me!!
- You can also see the IS350 from SEMA 2008 in the back ground.

The Paint Color is:
PPG Vibrance Orange Glow 3-stage paint with silver satin accents


Here is a thread with lots of pics I took of the 2009 IS350 F-Sport Concept:

Like the IS F Sport that was displayed at SEMA, the GS F Sport body kit, the grille, the paint color, the matte finished taillamps, gray trim are all one-off by Five Axis.
