I've been looking at all the mods so far and i am impressed. The only problem is it is a leased car so the bank owns it

I did however already get into my nav diagnostics and raise the mic level on my bluetooth mic when i make calls bc people were complaining i sounded low. That is solved now.

Also i disabled that annoying seatbelt alarm if you are moving without your belt. Yeah i know, its a safety feature but annoying.

It annoys me that theres no software overide for using the nav while in motion, but hey thats what happens when lawyers make decisions.

Just finished my 3rd full day with the car and I'm still so completely excited about it. It's a pleasure/thrill to drive. My previous lease was an 06 maxima, and this car just blows it away. Not even a comparison.

Three things you messed up on, you opted for the wrong white. You got the one that looks funny in certain lightings, you got the 17inch wheels and you got the tan interior!!

Jk. nice ride. now start buying parts and letting them sit in the garage so you can start kickin' your *** 'cause you made an impulse buy. wait....that's just me

If I was to do it again, I'd give GFM some strong consideration.

Congrats on your new IS and welcome to the forum!

Ha!!! Actually thats the light gray interior..almost white looking. The tan interior on GFM would look awful i think.

See GFM in person, and look at the car from different angles--you'll get it right away.

Good call on the Lux Pkg! Congrats on the new car!

I have an 09 GFM over ecru and it looks great (not awful) It is also very white looking. I have a thread on here with pics. The gray looks nice too, you have a beautiful car.
