Girrrrrl I thought you handled this already! This was back in March!!
I'd go back and tell them you are concerned with future issues. If they try to say that you are rubbing your butt on the stitch, tell them there is no wear on the leather. If they try to say that the stitch will wear out before the leather, point out the stitch right next to it to show that one is not wearing thin.

Ok sooooooo I will take it to the dealership like i said i know the sales manager so I will keep you posted I am just so scared of what they will say. I have bought a few new cars in the past several years, but never a high end vehicle and I dont wanna seem like a complainer

I wonder if other 2011 IS F-Sport are having this too?
It must not be normal if people from the previous IS years don't have this. Or is Lexus cheaping out on material quality for 2011?

Hey, Superbrino. I have a 2011 IS350 F-Sport too. After seeing the pictures you put up, I went to look at mine. And to my disappointment, mine is starting to "fuzz" too in the same spot where you put the pictures but not nearly as bad maybe because I don't drive it as much as you do. I think I'll ask the dealership too about this when I go in for my next appointment.

duuuuuuuuuude so sorry! def don't want anyone else to have this problem but I was starting to think it was something I was doing like "am I getting in and out of the car correctly?" if thats even possible ... anyway, lemme know what happens ... I have had my car since the end of October and have approx 7k miles on it. I'll keep you posted, minez gettin so bad its like upsetting, pictures dont even really do it justice
I've have less than 1k miles on mine. This is the first car in long while that I've driven with leather and stiching so I can't remember what the seats in the old leather-seated cars we had looked like. 
Let's say if they were to fix it, how do you think they would do it? Would they get somebody to redo the stiching? Or does the whole seat have to go?

When driving my IS, I happen to usually wear jeans. But I'm sure other people wear jeans in their IS too.
I just looked in my family friend's 1998 GS300, daily driven, in the same driver's side spot... and absolutely no problems with the stitching. :^/
