SFP is Lexus fancy name for white, they call it Starfire Pearl. Any chance u have ISS Forged exhaust on ur car? I have Joe Z and always wanted to hear ISS in person. I go to ur buddy's Golfsmith quite a bit, usually to bum their practice area to hit *****.

Never mind I figured it out Star Fire Pearl...cool. Oh wait now I see your post answering me. Anyway there is a guy here at work that just bought a 2011 SFP...it is sweet looking!

No I have the stock exhaust for now...thinking about the following mods but not sure the time frame or priority:

1) Exhaust
2) Wheels
3) Intake
4) HID

I really need to invest soon in a good radar detector as I have a Passport Solo and even though it works pretty good i am afraid as fast as this car is it wont pick things up fast enough...LOL

for radar detector the best on the market that my family has had for years and no speeding tickets is the Valentine One. I got lucky enough that when i first got my car and driver license my dad gave me one. just the only thing is it about $400 to get one but definitely proves to be the best. blessed to have my dad give me one. but Valentine ONe is my suggestion and good investment. I can do 100 mph on the interstate and it picks up a radar about 3-4 miles down or so. But you also have to know the cops and everything. good luck (:

Thanks...yes the V1 is defintely on my list...one question as I have never seen one in person...r they kind of big as they look kind of boxy to me in the pictures?

There is one other Escort (their top of the line one) that I am considering...need to make a decision soon.

They are not too big. Some people say they don't like them because how it looks. But I think it looks good and keeps me from getting tickets. This is how it looks in my 3IS. The only thing is it isn't wireless but I manage.

Thanks for the picture...that is about how I imagined it looked...don't they have a kit where u can hard wire it to your fuse box? I thought I read somehting about that? I guess u still would have wires to deal with?

Here are the two Escorts I was considering...anyone have any feedback? Not the most important factor but I like the blue lights on both of these as it matches all the lighting inside my ISF...

Passport Max

Passport 9500ix
