What's wrong with that? It's the same car with different options.

The F Sport has the same engine (2GR-FSE), the AVS system, the optional VGRS system, 16 way adjustable seats instead of 10 or 18 way, 14" ventilated front rotors, optional cabaret red interior, aluminum interior trim with aluminum pedals and black headliner which is exclusive to the F Sport model.

The F Sport is great! However, it's a waste of money for someone who is going to take off all the F Sport options and replace them with parts that are much more expensive.

Here's a non F Sport with an F Sport front bumper in a color that isn't available with the F Sport:

Post #22 explains we bought the F-sport kit We were one of the first to buy the GS when it debuted. Literally the first Saturday it came out. Our build thread explains everything. This is a GS that hundreds here have seen as we have taken it to various Lexus and non Lexus events in the SouthEast. Response has been overwhelmingly positive.

As you can see we use the highest quality parts so far in our build, no fakes or knock-offs or things that look like things in our build.

Exactly. We did want the cabernet leather, that is the biggest item missed. Otherwise with the use of RS*R coilovers we would love the functions of the F sport + mode in regards to suspension changes.

Next are big brakes planned and our kit install. Your big brakes look incredible.

So heart not so pain Btw this rim + tyre profile setup is WedsSport recommended profile for Lexus 2013 setup. Anything more the rear will protrude out of fender, the front will hit the inside when full lock.
Thanks. I'm seriously considering between these, the TRD rims as well as the F-Sport rims from Sewell Lexus.

Oh and there's a facebook page for Singapore Lexus fans :

Hey,

To clarify this, we know this vehicle very well and they are custom springs on the vehicle. Done the right way

nah just saw his sig that said "custom" springs. after seeing the cheap replica rims figured maybe the owner went cheap and cut his springs.

Please see the wheels up close and personal that are on the vehicle. We love to educate the consumer!

Sorry a marketing piece doesn't cut it for me nor is that going to educate anyone. I keep reading on multiple forums that you make replica, knock-off, rims. I have yet to read or see anything that makes me think other wise. Funny how your offering the same things, even down to an iPhone case, as another wheel company also located in FL

TRD rims too ex! $6K++Can get better rims with dat kinda price. I find pricing of Sewell stuff a little on the high side! & the F-Sport wheels the offset & width not agressive enough!
