I'm beginning to change my mind about the tail lights, if it didn't have an amber section it would look pretty good.

Are they really going to change the IS-F taillights after one year of production?

The IS F remains unchanged exterior-wise for 09 except for the interior updates.

So the current taillights on the IS F now will carry over.

Thanks for clearing this up. I am very close to buying to IS-F tail lights and suddenly saw a post about "new" IS-F tails.

I really don't know why they put amber in the taillights...it would look so much cleaner to make it all red, which most people here who buy the car are going to do to it anyways. Oh well

Wow that black marbled wood looks hot especially with black leather. I much prefer this to my red wood.
