Can I ask why does everyone's front bumper have that little cut out square in it? Also what are the rectangle raised things under the headlights for/do?

I have an 09 IS350 in tungsten pearl and absoltely love it. It bearly fits the stroller and babyseat, bur I like it over the GS and especially ES. Thats what the wifes 4runner is for. There are more differences thst I noticed from the 06-08.

-White leather stitching
-Buttons for the sunroof instead of the dial
-Nav buttons are bit different
-Most important, we 09's can shift in drive mode while moving

I am GM, Ford, Honda, Nissan & Infiniti ECU tuner and I own the dyno shop too. Unfortunately there is no product for Lexus.

Looking real good there! Love the color and wheels.
FWIW, new seatbacks were done for '08, not '09.

They got rid of the dial? That sucks--I love the dial.
