Thumbs up IS350 Sport / Luxury Tomorrow! Questions/Pics?

Well I figured I should register..been lurking for months. I'm picking up my matador red is350 tomorrow in dallas texas from Sewell. I know how desperate I've been for information and how hard it was to find so now I'm going to do my part. Here's the specs on the car I pick up tomorrow:

Matador Red

Sport Package Includes: .................... 3695.00
Sport Suspension w/ Lower Ride Height, Sport
Pedals, Aluminum Scuff Plates, 18" Alloys wit
225/40R18 Fr + 255/40R18 Rr Summer Tires, ..
HID + Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS),
Heated & Ventilated Front Seats, Perforated
Leather Seat Upgrade, D & P Memory Seats, Pow
Tilt/Telescoping Steering Wheel, and Rain-Sen
Wipers .....................................
Navigation System/Mark Levinson Premium Audio 3990.00
Navigation System w/ 300-Watt Mark Levinson A
with DVD/CD Changer, 14-Speakers, 7.1 Channel
Speaker Architecture, DVD-Audio and Video ..
Intuitive Parking Assist w/Front & Rear Senso 500.00
Headlamp Washers ........................... 100.00
Lexus Pre-Collision Sys (PCS)/Dynamic Radar C 2850.00
Preferred Accessory Package: ............... 194.00

Sewell only got 2 sport packages in so far, the other one was a white demo with 3,000 miles on it.

So, if anyone comes up with questions or pics or whatever they want to see I'll try to accomodate in the next few days.

Otherwise, woohoo! I'll also be taking it to an SCCA event in a month where I assume it will just go in as f-stock. Yeah, all those gadgets add weight but I'm not an incredibly serious racer... just like to have fun.

Thanks!

Yeah a little concerned about that. Not sure if the PCS will really react to cones since they are so small... I was told it can be disabled though if it becomes annoying. Unlike VDIM which re-enables at about 30mph no matter what.

Ah here it is.. straight from the owners manual:

"The sensor can not detect plastic obstacles such as pylons"

Again it is TRAC that re-enables at 30mph. VDIM is a system control that handles all the other safety features at one time and is never disabled or re-enabled.
