Pretty sure it's gloss black vs the gunmetalish color of the regular IS. Seems like that's what all the online publications are saying too.

Very nice my man! As an owner of a "Crafted Line" model myself (2015 RX 350), I am certainly enjoying having a model that not many people will see. The black mirrors and door handles are a great touch. I live in Houston, TX and only 2 of the 4 Lexus dealers in the city had one of these. Enjoy and great pics!

Very nice. Bell Lexus in Scottsdale has one of these on the lot. Pretty cool looking in person.

Looks good, for some reason I can take the black handles on this IS but on the GS I don't like it.

the black door handles and mirrors look like they're straight off of a 2000 honda civic dx.

LOL. I didn't want to be the one to say it but that was my exact thought too. Yikes.

I didn't want to say it either, but they do. Haha. I had a 98 civic dx back in college. Luckily it was also a black car, so those black plastic pieces blended in well.
I'm sure the "crafted line" IS looks much better and tasteful in person.

Ditto. I was thinking exactly the same thing. They work on the IS. Maybe because the IS is just a more radical design.

Congrats!! I used to live in Rhode Island. Your pics are making me feel nostalgic. You should take pics of your car in front of the Newport Mansions

Maybe GS is not a sporty car, and the black handle can give IS even more sporty feeling
