I was borwsing another CLmate's JDM dealer experience (hapaboy) and recall my trip to the dealer at Yokohama about one year ago. I am more a 2IS-oriented person, so most of pics are about 2is. Just bring out old pics to share!
-----------------
7pm, Yokohama Lexus. Seeing people drifing on street.

-----------------
Wow, I wonder if they give me a full-time job only to keep those glasses clean.

-----------------
I got the car and color. Wonder how much I need spend to mod LHS steering to RHS.

-----------------
Cheap interior! But I need this non-leather mod to make her car more JDM authentic.

-----------------
What the~ TV and MD, I must check these add-ons from Costco on-line. (15873? Frequency?) Non-smoker box under JDM's basic model, but it is $200 more in USA (leather divider included)

-----------------
The SC remind me Henry @ CL. Dude, are you going to read this? Jan 07, the LS460 back there was just released less than a week.. but who cares!

-----------------
That is Ms. Tom's IS45 in the pic, and the salesman was trying to damage her wallet with all 9999 hit-point attacks. Two sets of Japanese Mai-Do desserts on the desk, and I always love the hot oshimoli... One empty chair, where is her partner?

Something for taste buds!(o-cha & mini senbe) I wonder if I can just take the cup and saucer home.

-----------------
Man... JDM hand-made key-case. Yeah, take it to T's bar and let all know I drive a Lexus.

-----------------
Bling-bling key chains... now these rings remind me FF7. Yeah, that must be Squall's knife in miniture size.

-----------------
Ok... I heard mixing all 4x Vols will get 20+ hp more!

-----------------
Now I need another credit card to bring all home...

-----------------
Hmm... A Lex-brella.... I need to use another unbrella to protect this leather handle unbrella in a rainny day.

-----------------
See, I found my self at home again. No one is watching now and don't stop an American dude at the buffet line.

-----------------
On the side, a sign says "Take shower before seating here please~~~", and WTHeck! The LCD is too small to play gangster MVs!

Thanks for posting Joseph, I was shocked by the cloth interior of the IS. I will forever appreciate my leather much more now (LOL). The leather really makes the car. I could never stand the El Cantera Faux Suede in my Gen1. Very cheap looking and hard to clean without fading. As for the aroma's, count me in. Maybe someone from Sewel can obtain a part number for us all.

Yeah the cloth interior for an IS doesn't look good IMO...I was surprised to see that in the picture.

That's awesome to see the Japan Lexus. Thanks for taking pictures and sharing!

Just think not everyone needs a watch; usually a cell phone works better than a Rolex.

To me that is very typical to see in Japan, and I start wondering why USDM Lexus must come with leather interior.

Just because Lexus wants to satisfy the USDM market? It is already a good car because it is a Toyota.

Wow Lexus in JP looks 10X better then the dealerships here in the US. I need to visit Japan!

Is it possible to retrofit the TV and MD(what does that stand for? lol) into the US ISX50? I really want it.
