Had to get my windshield replaced today because a couple weeks back my car was hit my a rock or something on the fwy and it chipped the glass.... fast forward a week later, the crack had gone all the way to the top of the windshield 
Cerritos Lexus was quoting me $998 just for the windshield alone. I got it done locally for 1/4 of that price.

Took Eva into Cerritos Lexus and I told them I wanted to get my oil topped off as I was low about 1 quart since my oil change 2 weeks ago. All the porter guys there seemed lost as if they had never seen a Lexus before. I told them I was already on the waiting list for the engine overhaul and that it was a known issue that my car burns excessive amounts of oil. They acted like he had never heard of such a thing....

I'm debating if I should let them touch my engine with the whole overall procedure. I would assume that their porters would at least know how to check and top off my oil. Took them 3 people just to figure out how to do that.... I manage the performance department here at McKenna BMW, Audi and Porsche and all our porters are pretty knowledgeable about cars so that's how I'm basing my observations.

i haven't been to McKenna before, but a few of my friends have and they have nothing but good things to say about the service department. i can't say the same for Shelly BMW (don't get me started), but i digress.
alternatively, drive a bit farther down (past Cerritos) to Lexus of Westminster and ask for Charlie Sarno or Pete Phat. both service technicians are great guys and come highly recommended.

Thanks guys... overall I've heard nothing good from Cerritos. I'll talk to my service adviser there and tell her to cancel my order for the engine overhaul. I spoke to her today and she still gave me an ETA of 6-8 months. That was the ETA she gave me like 2 months ago. I've seen guys in the "carbon buildup thread" say that Longo only takes like 2-3 weeks tops. I'm clearly going to the wrong dealership!

Yesterday night I was driving around Westminster area and my car suddenly started idling funny as soon as I came up to a light. Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree with the VSC, check engine and traction control light. Drove it back home like that and the lights were still there this morning. Seems like another case of the engine misfire...
Took my baby into Longo Lexus as Graso had suggested. Right off the bat I could tell the overall difference in customer service. I dropped off my car this morning and he is going to get the process started so I can get the overhaul situation taken care of asap. He hooked me up with a Lexus loaner car as well (ct200h). This thing gets like a million miles per gallon.
I'll report back as soon as I hear an update from Mr. Wong, I would highly recommend him for anyone else looking to get their Lexus serviced.

So after having the car unwrapped for a couple weeks now... I have decided it's time for a new color.
I was toying with the idea of a complete murdered out theme. Gloss black or satin black. But... I thought to myself "has anyone here done a gloss or satin yellow 2is"
After many google searches I have managed to pull up nothing on the keyword searches. I'm sure someone out there has done a yellow 2is but I have yet to see it.
Should i pull the trigger on the yellow and have a yellow and black themed car?
Opinions please because I'll be buying the vinyl wrap within the next day or so.
Thanks!

Would the yellow be like your orange? I like the idea of black on black on black but with no repercussion for my actions and the fact you've gone brighter, I say go ball to the wall matte yellow... LoL
Whatever you do, I'm sure it'll be good. Plus you could say first yellow 2IS - you know because there was a couple yellow first gens out there
