The car also has been DVD/Nav hacked and LMS Air Intake added. In all, it's pretty much set for now. I'll wait for the LMS Exhaust next...

Your car looks AWESOME!
I especially like the Chrome 18's with the BRB.
Congrat's again and good for you for waiting and getting exactly what you wanted
Enjoy,

I saw a is350 at a dealership in Tucson with the chrome wheels on it. I really wanted them until I saw the price tag - $2995. I figured I could get aftermarket wheels for much less so I decided against the chrome option. But they look really good on your car and the tint looks nice as well. I think I'll use your specs for the tint when mine comes in.

I think if you call them up, they've got a referral source that will change the rims and tires for you.
BTW Your IS is hott! I was thinking of getting that color since in my opinion its "rare".
Once again THANKS!

Sorry for the extra questions (I didn't see the info) and thanks. I saw these guys on ebay as well and wasn't sure if I should do it!
Your ride looks great! Thanks again!

The tint shop didn't put the wrong tint. I actually chose it so. I just wrote down the wrong percentages. Thanks for the clarification!

Thanks Phil for that clarification, that makes more sense, the back really looks dark and the front/pass look more like 35%. Still too dark for me, I would never be able to see through that percentage at night. I'd probably go with 35% in rear and lighter on the sides but that's just me.
I have to say that your color is pretty impressive, I like the fact that it appears to change color, I also agree it looks alot like the BMW's Light Blue metallic. The tint looks awesome though.
