Lexus F - convertible sports accessories to add photos

The Lexus IS 250C and IS 350C can now be upgraded with a host of
performance-enhancing official F-Sport accessories. First announced at the 2009
Chicago Auto Show in February the parts are available to be fitted in the
convertible IS models.


F-Sport forged alloy wheels can be ordered in either 18-inch or
19-inch size. They are finished in a dark graphite colour to give the IS that
aggressive look. The front brakes can be upgraded with six-piston fixed calipers
and drilled cast-iron rotors. Lexus says they provide a firmer pedal feel and
improve fade resistance under continued and repeated use.


Starting from under the bonnet a light-weight carbon fiber engine
cover is fitted to give the area a hi-tech look. A low-restriction intake that
is emission legal in the whole US keeps things environmentally-friendly.


Interior articles include an F-Sport clutch set for the manual cars, a
quick shifter made of aluminium, also for the manual transmission, a leather/
carbon fiber combo shift knob and nylon floor mats.


The rear also features its own F-Sport brake upgrade which is similar
to the front except that it uses four-piston fixed calipers but also drilled
cast-iron rotors as well. The F-Sport rear brake set can only be used with the
matching front brake set. The exhaust system is stainless steel with fully
polished mufflers. It is fully emissions-compliant.

Bilstein partnered with Lexus F-Sport for a set of shock absorbers
that offer a performance suspension but at the same time keep the ride
comfortable. A lowering spring set lowers the car by about an inch both in the
front and rear.
