Styling and design
The hood of the IS500F Sport Performance is raised two inches with the standard IS. Similarly, the front and rear bumpers are stretched to give more muscle position to the F Sport performance. The 19-inch, split-10-spoke NK alloy wheels hold those muscles even tighter. According to Lexus, NK alloy wheels are one pound.
Other exterior upgrades include an updated lower rear diffuser, Black F Sport spoiler, dark chrome window trim and distinctive black badging. The F Sport Performance badge also carries inside. The heated sporty steering wheel, door and window scaffolding plates, accelerator pedal, brake pedal and footrest all receive F-Sport styling treatment.
