Default F sport upgrades?

So I came from an 07 is350 non f sport my new car is 2014 is350 f sport. So in previous years ie 06-13 if you got the f sport package did you automatically get the f sport intake, cf engine cover, springs, exhaust, blue f sport calipers? On the 2014 I know you get the sport plus mode I'm assuming a little different suspension that the regular is350 different gauge cluster..... But are the brakes, intake, exhaust the same as the non f sport is350???? Not complaining at all just wondering if there was a package I missed when I ordered my car

In short, YES... All the same..!!

Don't be confused by the Factory Built F Sport Packages vs. the F Sport Accessory parts sold by Lexus USA / TRD Division... Think in-house aftermarket parts..

You will probably see a few F Sport Accessory parts for the 3rd Gen in the near future..

No, absolutely not. Those are F-Sport Accessories not to be confused with F-Sport Factory like Joe Z mentioned. The 2IS F-Sport 2011-13 netted you aesthetics and slightly stiffer suspension. It was ALL for looks, seats, logos, steering wheel, grill.
