About to buy the IS250 AWD for the wife...going with full luxury/premium package, matador red-blk leather...or blue metallic?

From what I have seen, don't like the stock rims that come with the 250..like the sportier 5 spoke rims...good idea?

Will add clear bra-front fascia/side mirrors, rear bumper applique?, sport pedals?, dual exhaust ground effects,

Can I get the parking sensors as a separate option?

Is there any other major q's to ask dealer? other parts/accessories to add?

Have the TSB's been corrected?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Go with Breakwater Blue.

5 double-spoke wheels are sportier. You can get it non-staggerred for AWD.

All the additions are nice and superficial; not really necessary. Except for the clear bra -- that will save you the hassle of preventing paint chips.

Parking sensors are a separate option, and highly valuable. I highly recommend it.

Other major questions? It all depends on your needs.

TSB's don't need to be corrected unless it is an issue with you. Therefore, a TSB does not mean "mandatory" fixes. If you have a concern, have your dealer address it.

thanks Phillip....

yes, I just saw pics of the matador red..looks gaudy for me.

Re: ext.color...can we get the "ultrasonic blue" that the IS-F comes in for the the 250?..really nice color.

Unfortunately not.

I think someone did a custom paint job to get it for a "regular" IS...



And since I have the floor, here is a gratuitous Breakwater Blue photo:
