Default new addition to the family : 2006 IS 250 AWD =)

hey cl members,

so after much debate between the gs300 awd and the is250 awd... we decided to get the IS250 AWD in glacier frost mica. The car is absolutely beautiful.. the color is amazing. with only 40,000km on it, i'm sure this is gonna be a ride that will last us for a LONG TIME! Looking forward to learning lots from all you 2IS owners.

here are some pics

Congrats on your new to you IS. GFM is a really nice color, especially in person. Any mods planned?

no real mods planned yet but i wanted to ask everyone here for some suggestions on what to look out for when my warranty expires?

the car still has about 6 months bumper bumper warranty and i want to bring it into service to see if theres anything that needs to be fixed before it ends. Is there anything that i should look out for or pay attention too when i bring it in? i remember reading about some possible vibrations when in drive or reverse?

any suggestions?

Nice color! Why'd you choose the IS over the GS? I ask because I'm thinking of moving to the GS next.
