Since the only aspect of the F-sport you like is the grille, you could get an IS350 with the added features of the Luxury Package in Nightfall Mica and just switch out the regular grille for the F-sport grille.

Oh! I didn't know I could do that. Will it void my warranty or anything?

It won't void the warranty since it's only cosmetic, and it will be OEM parts since there aren't any aftermarket options. A few 4GS have done a grille conversion on their car with no problems.

I see. I'll have to get this done separately after buying the car, right? Also, do you have an idea as to how much will it cost?

Judging from the pictures, it looks like the grills may be able to be swapped without too much work. On the 14-16 models, the standard and F Sport grills can only be swapped by changing out the entire front bumper.

Anyone know a ballpark figure of how much a 2017 front bumper conversion would cost?

From the pic, the lower portion of the headlights of the 2017 is less curved vs the 2016.

Can anyone post pics of the 2017 IS in the Nightfall Mica color if they have seen it at any dealerships?

what was the dealership that offered the price?

checked the Canadian website on the new 2017 Lexus, looks like they removed the ML audio on the IS300, so the only way to get this option now is only only IS350 model with the executive/fsport3

Does anyone have any idea how can I get the invoice price for the 2017 IS models? I checked TrueCar and Edmunds and it isn't there on either of them. Do I simply have to wait for it, then?

2017 wise Idk.
Hey! Just wanted to know if you'll have had any sales for the 2017 IS200t? If yes, then could you tell me at what prices are they going for?
