But the real question is - isn't it a worthy trade off ? Utility vs Cosmetic.

As long as the hood doesn't come off in the third world San Diego roads with Everestian Speed Bumps I can sleep on that.

Here is the Megan strut bar that was marked for 2013+, removed the factory black rings. Fits perfect, not even touching the hood liner.

Amazing a part that's like $100-$300 can make such a huge change!
Hey late to the post, but I also have a 2022 IS350 F sport, the only one I can find the lists for the year is Tom's strut bar which is 450 bucks.. Can you post the link to the Megan Racing that fit your 2022 IS350? Thanks

It feels more ‘rigid’, i wonder if adding rear strut bar would make it feel even better, cause I plan to do that in the future
What part # is that please? I looked at Megan Racing and they don't list a bar that will fit the 2022 IS350 on their site.

No issues at all, fits perfectly fine!

Looks like the strut bar interferes with the oil dipstick removal.
