Will do... Probably do it in a few days...

I'm confused. So if you got it for $1300 over invoice then that should have been $40,800 after taxes assuming a low 6% sales tax that comes out to $43,248. Did you trade a car in or something. If not it sounds more like you got that thing right at invoice then added TTL for your OTD of $42,000

Sales tax on a car is 3% in Virginia...

WOW must be nice. Good deal man. Thanks

We have property tax on cars though... I wonder what it's going to be on the IS350... Probably like $500/year at least...

Haha, I agree completely. That was the first thing I thought when I saw your pics, but I read your explanation and it makes sense. However, I wont park my 7 year old car next to the shopping cart return. I just can't do it.

Nice ride and thanks for all the pics.

congrats...technique...guess you were able to get it before me...haha..thats really messed up how they screwed up your order..i'd be pissed...but thats good how it worked out for you in the end.

i agree with you on the rims..they do look kinda weird...maybe i have to see in person to make the final judgement.

Thanks man... I did a few more things today, including added the front spoiler... It's all on my website, but I'll start a new thread since I don't see any DIY thread on the front ground effects spoiler...

Did you wash it by hand or in the car wash?!?

Wow dude, didn't waste any time with the lip install. I guess you stopped and did it on the way home from work...

Technique

hehehe... You probably think I take it to the non-touchless gas station car wash that has those rubber/cloth things hanging down that slap your car right??? You're thinking this because I parked my car next to the cart return at the Lowes the day I got it right???

lol... I actually washed the car myself, by hand... I enjoy doing it and find that no place (even the most expensive hand wash places) dry the cars properly...

BTW, our side-view mirrors continue to drip for like 1 hour... They REALLY hold in the water!

Technique

Ya, I left work early today

Does that cost go down each year as the car gets older?

Wow, very nice. You're a brave man parking that close to a shopping cart corral !!!!!
