Default Say hello to my NEW little friend!

2007 Lexus IS350. Loaded with LUX, NAV, heated/cooled seats, adaptive headlights, rain sensing wipers, ML sound system, Parking Assist, and tons of other goodies.

Since these pics, I've tinted the glass, and added a clear bra.

I've also installed the Sirius kit from Lexus-Parts.com (car came with XM) and I've hardwired my Escort Passport 8500 X50 with blue display.

Sweet Ride!

How difficult was swapping out XM with Sirius? Did you lose any functionality in controls by making the switch??

Very nice. You got almost the exact same setup as me.

I got a 2007 350, red on black, Lux w/ 18", Nav/ML, preferred accessory.

I didn't get parking assist and went with the factory 18's, though.

So long story short, I like the way you think.

out of all the other colors offered for the 2nd IS, this color....Matador Red is my favorite. It's just perfect and not too light or dark in the color. The color seems to be refined but yet appealing.

Congratulations; nice car.

Are you using the shark fin antenna for Sirius? How is the reception?
