Default Few questions? Need Advice

hey all

i am thinking of doing a interior conversion into IS-F like the seats and steering wheel and the speedometer... i only wanna know a few

1.The IS-F seats do they hold your body tighter cuz i feel my is350 seats are not that tight.... will the heated and A/C seats will work with this i am sure it will.....

2.The Steering wheel is nothing special but i like the blue stiching and maybe its smaller idk i might have to check up on that

3. i think some of u have done this with the speedometer and i wanna know what u need to go about i love how the blue light....

the reason i wannna do this cuz my cousin started working in Lexus and i cna get these 40% off so it will be cheap on one hand depends on how much each item will run me ty in advance have a great day

Serge

FYI- I'm pretty sure IS-F seats are heated only, no ventilated available.

The IS-F seats do offer more lateral support than the ISx50 seats. Before you switch though, try your seats with the lumbar support all the way back - this dramatically increases lateral support offered by the seats. The IS-F seats are also heated only - you'll lose the vented functionality you currently have.

The steering wheel is different in a few small ways - the leather is perforated, has the blue stitching, and also has the F logo at the bottom. Size and thickness is identical to the ISx50 steering wheel.

All you need is an IS-F instrument cluster - it plugs right in.

Good luck!
