I'm Officially in the club! =) **UPDATED W/ PIX!!**
My first Lexus 
After waiting 3 long dreadful months for an IS I ordered at my local dealership (the salesman messed up my order and told me 2 months after, so he had to redo the order), I finally cancelled on them. At one point, I almost gave up and went for the 330i. But I told myself this will not make me happy since 40% of the people I know has one. Boy am I glad I decided to wait and make a few calls out of state. I was lucky enough to find the exact same car I wanted. IS 350 (CW/Blk Lux/Nav/ML Package).
I was just breathless when I saw it. Couldn't believe it was front of me. Still dont believe its actually here, but it finally arrived!
I did all the paperwork and the car was shipped out within 48 hours. The whole process took about 2 and half weeks. I'm a very happy man! 
Just wanted to thank Clublexus for the tons of information that I have read on here.
Thanks to Evotolexus for showing me the whole process of ordering out of state (first timer).
Thanks for IS350_PHIL for taking pictures of the car for me when he went to picked up his car.
Time to mod baby!!
Pictures posted below. Enjoy!
P.S. Only one complaint is that my car has a front license plate which is not required in my state

P.S I bought my car from Kuni Lexus and my salesman was Charlie Mullison. Great great guy. Was a very easy step by step process and he helped me all the way. PM me if you need his contact.

I know its been long overdue, but finally got a chance to take some pix!
Nothing really modded yet, but just want to present some photos.
I replaced Fogs with MTEC 4750 and the wedge bulbs with some J-51s. They look awesome. The headlights match and the fogs are little more bluish. Will take some pix when night time comes.
Future Project:
1. Get some 19" Dubs
2. Drop w/ JIC Coilovers or Eibach Spring.
3. Get some 20% Tint.

CONGRATS! Glad I was able to be of assistance. Was pretty easy after all, right.
Looks good.

Welcome, welcome a thousand welcomes and congratulations on purchasing your IS 350. It's looking really sweet. Are you planning on tinting your windows or doing any mods to your car?...
