Question Visual differences fsport v non fsport 2011-2013

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there is any difference visually between a F-sport and the top of the range model which is the Sports-Luxury as it came out in the Australian market.
From what I could find;

F-sport has the front left and right lip spoiler which can be retro fitted to 2011 + bumpers.
F-sport has a different looking front upper-lower grill and rear spoiler.

Anything else I have missed ? I would be interested to know if the "side skirts" are the same on both cars.

On a side note. Did all of the top of the range is350's come with the rear power sunshade ?

I think in USA F-sport package applied to base model IS350s only, so those dont have any other options including the rear sunshade. Rear Sunshade is a part of Luxury Plus package (maybe stand alone too)

the sunshade is in the luxury package as mentioned. not all 350's come with that you have find a 2is that had that package.
only use i found with my rear sunshade was when i was driving at night and a truck was behind me. for sure not a necessity but nice to have.

the fsport is slightly lower in the front. i think less than half an inch lower (i could be mistaken). rear is same height

From what I've seen yes. The only side skirt that would've been different is the GFX kit
