Congrats, but the pictures aren't showing up.

Blue onyx pearl is one of the nicest colors out there. I just saw an 04-06 LS430 yesterday in BOP and it was beautifful.

That's how I had it originally, and it didn't work that way either. I have just changed it back without spaces and it still doesn't work. WTF!!!

Finally got it. When I was posting, I had it in advanced editor mode and used the "attach image" icon, I just switched back to basic and it had url tags and quotations, etc. in the links that I couldn't see before. The color actually looks darker on here than the original images on my computer. Oh well, hope everyone can enjoy now!

GreyHound, where you been lately? Out driving yours I guess . I think the SWVA 2IS club is now in session - FINALLY!!!

Where in VA are you? I picked up my almost identical 250 AWD (blue/tan/lux/nav) on the 24th as well. I'm having the tint and spoiler done this week. Congrats!!

Default About Time !

Congrats ! Its worth the wait for sure. Ground effects look Good ! A excellent choice in color if I may say so. yes now there is two

I saw a red IS in Charlottesville last saturday on the way to DC. Thats the closest one I have seen to SWVA. It could have been a 250, it wasn't going that fast.
You will notice a lot of people checking out your ride, even when your going down the road. I have seen people almost snap their head off twisting around trying to figure out, just what kind of Lexus is that? They notice the big 'L' in the grille, especially the yuppie bmw herd.

I like that there isn't that many(any) IS (first or second) generation around. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a 328/330 or the jellybean(G35).

Exclusivity, the IS 350, that what I'm talking about. Enjoy your new ride ! You will like the headlights at night swinging around curves for you. Its pretty cool. I don't like the auto/rain sensing wipers. That is about the only thing I would change. Oh and a louder exhaust note. you'll hear the fuel injectors more than the exhaust . May have to submit a PO to the wife for the Tannabe exhaust.
have fun, congratulations, Very nice car !!!! Hope to see you around in your travels.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've been on cloud 9, as I know everyone else has before me.

I've been contemplating that one myself, I would really like to hear one in person. I just put the Joe Z on this weekend, it makes and ever so subtle difference in sound at higher rpm's. I bet it would really bring out the Tanabe. I guess I need to save something for later, though. Father's Day is right around the corner...
