Hey, I was looking on the new 2002 page for the IS on the Lexus site, and I was wondering if anyone knew if the new models are coming with the smoked out headlights and tailights like they have in Japan? It is really hard to make out with the pictures they have posted, but it looks like the headlights and tailights are different than the current models.
I don't think the headlights will be different, but I'm hoping that the 2002 IS300 will have the black-colored surround/housing for the taillights on the dark colors.
Too bad we don't get a gauge cluster like this (tach in the middle and trip computer):
that instrument cluster is actually one like Modellista in Japan. you may want to ask shin kai if he can get one for you if he can. im not sure on the price or if it even fits the US IS3.
I saw a similar instrument panel in the TRD catalog (in Japanese), at my local dealer. I doubt that panel would work for the US IS300... Notice the redline on tach is 8,000 rpm

I called about it and they are special order, like the sways, and is about $980. Only prob is that its in Kilos not miles, the redline is for the altezza, which shouldn't really matter, and we may jnot be able to use e-shift, or at least see the numbers.
So I picked up another is300, and it needs a new hood. Normally where I’m from in Chicago there’s always people parting out and an abundance of parts available in junkyards, but I’ve had no luck in finding one in GGP. I’m thinking of buying a black hood and sanding/ spray painting it with...
So ive had this for awhile and ignored it, but now i grabbed the code and it said rear right abs sensor was "out" or giving the code. I changed it the other day the old abs sensor had metal shavings on it but no gunk i probably could've just cleaned it out. But put the new one in hoping that the...
Sorry if this is redundant, I can't seem to find any threads that talked about this anymore, how do the FRS and BRZ seats fit in the is300? My stock leathers are getting pretty beat up, and the padding in my passenger seat is to s***, not to mention the general lack or shape on these.
