The one I'm talking about is indeed the one sangmaru listed:

After any coupons or discounts, should be able to get it around $200. I didn't bother with the key blank (what's a key??), this one just goes in your wallet. Touch the door to open, same as before, push the button to lock, same as before, you just don't have to carry the key fob around. It's got the same RFID as the key fob. It doesn't have any buttons like the key fob, but who needs those? That's the whole point of having the touch access and RFID. Well worth the $200 IMO.

i would have to say tint is my favorite. though having keyless entry for me is enough, i think the wallet key is overkill IMO

Are the programming instructions floating around here somewhere? Is it pretty simple to program?

I was under the impression it was in the $400 price range (http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...0-2008-20.html ) - would I have to go used to get it for $250? I have an '08 IS 350 that's over 30k miles now. And from what I understand, if I do one thing, it should be this.

yeah, I'm wondering this too.

I never really considered a GFX kit. Did a quick google search and stumbled upon this thread. Really like the way the kit looked on the first car on top, but not feeling it on the white car in the bottom pics. if it was $200 as a special deal, what's the price usually for a gfx kit? that guy was selling for $400.

lol, as someone who wants to find used IS-F wheels for next spring when I get off my winters, I don't agree with this:

If something makes your car look nicer I don't feel it's about pretending. But I can respect your opinion and sort of understand where you're coming from.

(although I'm really liking the way the F-sport rims look on the 2011 IS pictured here: http://www.lexus.com/performance/#/f...IS/highlights/ . Depending on cost and everything, maybe I'll go with this instead? From what I've read there's quite a bit involved w/ going w/ a size up on wheels/tires )

The URL you quote is a simple manual key they cut for you.

Where would this key go? On the outside of your car next to the handle ... the cover comes off revealing a manual lock where you can use the key to unlock the door (if you don't have a fob/smartcard with you).

The key also hides/slides in the smartcard when you are not using it.

Hope that answers your question.

Review: I love my Smartcard & manual key combination. :-) The biggest pain was getting the right one (my VIN pulled up the wrong part number), and getting the dealer to program it.

I love the clear bra. It's doing a great job of keeping the rocks away from the paint.

I got the sway bar price matched for $200 (on sale at a much farther dealer that they call, confirmed, and gave me), install would have been $100 but they screwed up on something in the past (I just bought it CPO) so they gave me $50 off.

Edit: Looking at your link, Sewell is charing $381.50 witht he ClubLexus discount, but that is also the sway bar set which is both front and rear; I only bought the rear.

This! It's probably one of the best/most important mods if you want to keep your car looking as good as it was the day you drove it off the lot. Soft paint is the worst for rock chips!! I got like 3-4 the first week I had my car, then I got full hood/bumper so now I don't have to worry about it (going back to get mirrors soon).

^ the front is not worth it? Also, I heard there's no point in paying for installation, it's really easy to do

It's simple if you know what you are doing. I also recommend having another person to help you with peeling and laying it out.

The hood and fender is ok. But the hardest part is the bumper due to the shape. Prepare to spend over 3 hours on the bumper if it's your first time. This requires ALOT of patience.

A clean area (garage) is also very helpful. You don't want to trap dust when installing this.

Tools: Squeegee, hair dryer/heat gun, spray bottle, baby shampoo, some beer (this will take a while)

Were you talking about the sway bar or the clear bra? Seemed like the sway bar, and if so, the front, as far as I have read, is not worth it because it adds only a few percentage of stiffness on a RWD car. As for installation, you sure can do it yourself, but for $50-$100, you get the "warranty" which means they won't hassle you in case something breaks and try to blame what you installed yourself and aftermarket assecories.

Someone post a link for the clear bra please? The soft paint and frequent dings is one of my biggest annoyances!
