Looking at this on my computer vs phone now and I'm a bit more confused than I was before. It looks like nearly every exterior panel of the car was redesigned: hood, front fenders, doors, front bumpers, rear bumpers, rear fenders, etc. On one hand, I admire the work that was put into completely redesigning the exterior of a 7 year old car. It was clearly a lot, and it looks good.
On the other hand, I have to think that just redesigning the lights, grills, front bumpers and side skirts - then saving all of the extra money for a complete dash redesign - would have been better spent. Or new powertrains, even if it was just increasing the redline. We're so starved for performance-oriented Lexus product that even upping the redline to 7,000 rpm and something like 330hp/290lb-ft would have sent the Lexus faithful wild and probably to the dealership with deposits in hand.
