Nice. 
I'm jealous. Picked up a blue onyx with nav/lux this weekend. Yours makes mine look pedestrian (I hate that expression but it fits). Speaking of the stock 17" wheels, I think Lexus should give AWD owners the option of 18" wheels w/summer performance rubber. At least give us the option of the summer tires on 17" wheels. We opt for the Lux package and then get less expensive wheels that may actually weigh very near the same as the twin spoke 18".
The reason I would prefer an 18' wheel with summer tires is that I like to buy dedicated snow's (wheel and tire). Now, I will probably wait for the mediocre A/S tires to run out a little and then wrap the 17" in snows and buy a dedicated set of 18" w/performance rubber. I know that some people think this is actually the better choice because you can choose a very lightweight wheel and choose virtually any tire. So I guess it could be a toss up. It is just a lot more work and $$ to do it this way. I'm cheap I guess.
Great car, great look, will look good with the tint, and are you going to lower it?

p.s. Please don't post "how much." I want to try to ignore the fact that I paid too much. I don't need hard data to back it up.

Lexus Champion
My service advisor told me that employees of the dealership received a 100 dollar a month lease payment offer from the dealership, as in they could lease a new Lexus vehicle like any other customer, BUT the dealership would pay 100 dollars of their lease every month, and to top it off Lexus paid another 100 or maybe it was 150. Anyhow I think the grand total was he basically got 250 dollars of every MONTH on the lease of any new Lexus, which would probably cut an IS350 lease practically in half.

Employee deal
Not allowed under the contract to disclose, but it is similar to someone mentioned, but it is for ELITE Master Certified Employees only. But don't worry about what others pay, just enjoy the car. Believe me I probably would've never started driving one if my wife didn't work there. Just never thought to spend that kind of money on a car.
