Default What does "No Package" Look Like?

I'm configuring a 350 and I kind of just want a barebones package. But I can't find any pictures of the "no package" option. I'd like to know what the interior looks like at least.

Actually, I think base does not come with the LED lights nor those rims. Could be wrong though.

Base IS350's do come with the HID/LED headlights.

17" wheels though, not 18".

Thanks guys! Yeah, that interior picture is exactly what I was looking for.

The reason I'm interested in the base 350 is 1) You don't know how badly I want to go 0-60 in 5.x seconds dressed in ultrasonic blue 2) I have a Prius and am not impressed by the Lexus nav, back up cams, or any other bells and whistles. Overall fit and finish of the Lexus, even base model, will be better than a Toyota anyway. 3) I am cheap and a 350 base model still has the same engine and exterior.

Regarding the wheels...I don't care either. I plan to drop the car on coils and replace the rims and add ground effects anyway. Also, does anyone know if there's such thing as a carbon fiber trunk spoiler for the 250/350 (like the Wald CF trunk for IS-F)?

And finally, regarding the seats - I never understood the point of the F-sport suede seats. Isn't leather better??

What you are asking for is more like a special order because the dealership always has them in packages. The pricing for special order, you won't get as much of a deal than getting something which is available and in the region.

I believe there is two different kinds of F-Sport seats, one which is the micro fiber and the other which is the leather one (ie. Lexus Japan, and possibly Lexus Canada).

^^ glad we could help out.

The seats are "sportier" I guess.
I personally rather have a cooled butt however I will gladly sacrifice the cooled option for a black headliner

Well not based on what I see...I'm looking at the dealer's page of new inventory (Magnussen Lexus in Fremont, CA) and they have a 2012 350 base model that's $45.8k. The same model configured on Lexus.com is $40k. Why?

Also what the heck is interior color "FB2?"

No dealer will bring a, "no package" car into inventory. When you build a car on the Lexus website you will have packages to select from. You have to special order a car with nothing added. Anticipate 4-5 months arrival. I didn't want nav and the X package was only available in the Southeast via special order. I searched other regions and found X packages with nav. Bottom line, I received what I wanted and paid less than what was on lots. I plan on keeping the car for 8 years so the resale decline for not having nav doesn't concern me. Most smartphones have GPS and a Garmin is $200. I agree the nav is nice and the backup camera is killer but paying over $2k for GPS was hard for me to justify. If the OP plans on turning the car in less than 3 years I think he should order the nav since a 350 sans nav will be a tough sell. The price you pay will vary a lot from dealer to dealer. Some dealers will not mess around with special orders while others have no problem. The dealer risk is you place a refundable deposit , the car is produced and you cancel. Then the dealer has an odd ball car on the lot. Almost every customer will not want the car without nav or at least a package so the car will sit for a long time.
