The IS-F look much cleaner than the Nike swoosh.

Nike Swoosh looks great if you have the led headlights to match

The 2009+ inner tail lights wouldn't sit flush against the IS-F outers, the inners stick out further. Someone should photoshop this though.

You're saying the 2009-2010 inners are different from the 2011 inners? First time I've heard this.

Still a fan of the ISF tails and will be getting those next for my whip. Just debating on which one I want the US and JDM version, I believe only difference is the 3 dot LEDs on the side.

yeah the clear reverse lights from the 2009-2010 are clear, but the 2011 inner clear reverse light are light pink even the turn signal from 2011 are light pink too not as clear, that the reason why I got 09&10 tail lights instead of 2011, Brian

the lighting pattern of the 09+ tails blows the rest of the tail lights out of the water. it really brings the car up to date. Thats why I spent $850 on a set, lol

Interesting. I wonder what the hell Lexus was thinking, going through the trouble of making two different parts, thus driving up their costs, for no good reason.

Why would anyone want 2009 inners and 2011 outers? They wont match. As stated above, the inners will be clear and outers will be pink. Doesn't everyone just go with redouts if they don't have the ISF tails?

that the reason I stick with 09 tails, but not the 2011 because of the pinkish like, not my taste for pink, 09+ and 2011 they both have the same LEDs look, except for the clear on the 09, and pink on the 2011

I know...The Pink really throws me off. I love the look of my 11 taillights, but I dont understand how or why they would change the color. Maybe they just thought the amber corners look dated?

I'll have to take a closer look in person because I can't really see the pink in pictures. Has anyone smoked it yet to see if it covers up the pink?

I have overlays on mine that gets rid of the outer pink, but I left reverse cutouts for nighttime visibility.
