my first mod will be to enable it to play dvds, allow me to use the bluetooth features, and plot a destination while moving.

the amount of looks this car gets is mind-boggling...i just went to starbucks and these 3 korean guys got up walked up to the car, and walked around it. then said "nice car, how did you get it 2 weeks early" lol.

VVti just stated the same thing. Lexus hasn't even begun to heavily advertise and the buzz is all over already.....

2 weeks early, I'd drive that thing all day long

Default Spoiler

Spoiler is listed in the new acc. brocure come already painted. Glenn (Parts Manager) at Mission Viejo Lexus order 2 in each color. They look to be double sided tape for easy install. Priced around $200.00.

I think he ordered the all weather mats also. With this rain in CA lately might be a good idea.

No not even. That's UNDER the dealership. They recently expanded their service department to the former Home Base building(big box home improvement store) which was just behind Longo Lexus. Service deptartment and half of the inventory was downstairs, but since the service dept moved to that huge facility in the back, the whole basement is cleared out for Lexus inventory. You should see the Toyota side. Huge multi story parking structure that holds 500 vehicles of their inventory in the back that was just recently built.

You've probably come immune to the smell, and if you're in your car everyday for long periods of time, the new car smell will go away.
