Default New ES guages



i think these are extremely nice gauges, similar to aston martins...any chance somebody knows if these will fit on the new IS?

^ sorry, it is kinda a stupid question, but I think they would look really nice on the IS...

They may be the same size, but I don't think they're interchangable. Look at the plastic pieces that holds the odometer on the IS...

not only that the speedometer and RPM's are backwords, I don't think it would work unless you replaced the whole dash

I don't see that the ES guage is any better than the IS.
Both design look very similar.

I think both designs are unique, but the IS ones have those added light features, plus look good at daytime and fantastic at night. The ES ones look great at night, but during day look average to me.

Just go down to the Lexus dealer and sit inside in and compare the difference with your own eyes. Never believe a pic online these days with so many features to edit its color brighter.

I like the lightsabers on the IS better than the crappy watch hands on the ES.

you can make it work with enough $$$, but it is really worth of doing it.

if you want cool lookind guages get a STACK guages.

give the aftermarket world a bit time, I waited 2 years before I did anything to my M3.

let those brave ones try and oron out all the small details in tuning and modding the cars for you.
