I concur.

In some areas (especially where I live), it's extremely difficult just to find an IS. My dealership only has like 5 2IS's on the lot at any one time. Then, add to that the fact that NONE of those 5 are 350's. Then, add to that that they get optioned the dealer's way for the region.

Now you can see why it may have been a special order.

BTW, nice color combo. You're like my cousin (blue onyx with sterling)

I did install the Rvinyl red outs, but I was not happy with the look. From a distance they looked great, but up close the were too noticable for me. They did not have near the "shine" that the rest of the taillight assembly had, so I removed them. I guess that's why people are buying the IS-F tails.

Thanks everyone for the great comments! The IS350 is one impressive machine. It's also my first foreign car.

Very nice. But looks like you have a dealer frame on the back. No free advertising for any dealer in my book unless they pay me for being a rolling billboard. Get a nice plain frame and ditch the cheap plastic frame the dealer gave you. Otherwise, nice ride.

Looking good

Nice color combo! I like the lighter interior you have. I like how easy the blk interior it to keep clean with winters here but like how bright the lighter colors are!

Congrads on the car!

Yeah, I still got the dealer frame on. I agree with you on no free advertising, but take a closer look at it. It's actually a nice chrome plated metal frame with chrome caps over the screws and has the Lexus logos on it. Just so happens the dealer name is Hennessy. If your a drinker you know that its a popular cognac used in many cocktails, so its kinda cool.
