You know what I've just realized?
The IS looks bad *** in any color. Every time I see a different color in this thread - I regret getting pearl white, until I walk outside see it. I've honestly never loved a car this much, and I've owned quite a few.

Wassup everybody. I've just become a proud new owner of 2007 IS250 RWD in Glacier Frost Mica, black interior and with stock 18's.
The only modifications to the car came from it's previous owner which includes a Borla Street catback exhaust, carbon fiber rear window spioler and an Injen intake.
Coming from a fully built 2004 Subaru STi and a 2004 Toyota Corolla (work car) the IS is a breath of fresh air!

Those mods are a nice start! I wish mine had come with an intake and exhaust.

So far so good. Got the CF wing, pillar covers, emblem inserts and license plate frames done. (front frame will be here today - they screwed up my order) 6k HID highs/lows/fogs, white LED strips, white LED parking lights, installed a relay to disable the DRLs without a bulb warning. Custom front plate mount. Painted the OEM 18s black. It'll do for now.
Planning to do an intake & exhaust, 19" black rims of some kind, CF grill, lip, cross drilled/slotted zinc coated rotors and will probably go with those aluminum caliper covers. Also want to swap out the headlights and taillights for 2011+ units and change the lower bumper reflectors to those LED lights I've been seeing.

New Owner IS350
Hi All, I've been reading the threads on here for the past few weeks. I just bought a super clean 2006 IS350 w/ Luxury package. 73k miles. I freaking love it! Only issue is dash rattle so far.
1. Model- IS350
2. RWD = Beast
3. Exterior Color - Tungsten Grey
4. 18s wheels stock
5. stock spoiler
6. Interior color - two tone light grey w/wood trim
7. I drove a 99" toyota tacoma for the past 13 years so it's refreshing having a car with all the bells and whistles and some actual power behind it.

By the way, your IS is looking good bro!

I just purchased mine last night and it's still at the dealer until Saturday so no pics yet but:
1 2007 IS350 (120k miles! VVT rattle recall still open)
2 Black Sapphire
3 Factory 18's
4 Black interior
5 luxury package with nav, mark levision (?), hids
6 Factory rear spoiler
My initial driving impressions are:
I was surprised by how docile it was just tooling around and was very impressed by the WOT performance (even with the crap gas they've probably been putting in it). I was expecting the paddle shifters to be more responsive. Not sure if the TCM is like those on the Dodge/Chrysler vehicle where it "learns" your driving style and shifts accordingly.
Coming from an 04 BMW 330Ci 6-speed this car is almost intimidating with all the electronic gadgetry.
JoeZ intake, mid-pipes and spings or coilovers are on the short list.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for?

Forgot to Do this first so here we go
I just bought a 2012 F Sport with 19k Miles on it... So far I have added CIA, Catback exhaust, and Stance SC5ive 20x9 Wheels...
The car color is the red metallic color (I cant remember the specific color name)
Black interior
Various under the hood parts are painted to match the exterior color. Specifically the engine cover.
Currently dealing with STS for a turbo system upgrade. But the tuning issue is presenting a problem.
