No! Did you fall and hit your head?! Come on man! I couldn't ever drive anything sack-less like that. I intend to make the F my daily while buy a monster horsepower car next, something obscenely fast. And then just put a quieter exhaust on the F, take off the crazy parts and have a fast sleeper daily and then real monster for the weekends.

josh car looks great. i had thought about getting another Lexus, LS 430 or 460, but since I have an 07 GS350 that my wife now drives, i was think Mustang 5.0, or GT Shelby 350, but Ford of Orange has a 20k mark up on the Shelby's, so that was a no go. i was looking at Sequoia and Infinity Q56 also , then all of a sudden while on Autotrader i look up the IS F, not sure what made me do it, but two weeks later i'm in an 08 and glad i did. a few questions

info on steering wheel
info on where to powder coat wheels,
info on painting calipers

i'm thinking either silver or blue caliper, light grey wheels with blue on the letters of the wheel name.
picture for anyone that has photoshop skills

Good thing you bought the ISF Eddie.

The steering wheel is a custom steering wheel from Australia.
I'm not sure of the best place to powder-coat your wheels, there a lot of options down here in socal.
I got my calipers painted by some dude on Craigslist but I recommend Tommy @ Music Box.
