Haha what's funny is that just earlier tonight, I called my dealership to ask him something and he said to me: "Lessee.......you bought your car End of June, start of July. It's time for a trade in."

He wants me to come look at the new ones or the ISF. Har.

Ohiois350 - actually the LED DRLs are pretty bright during the day. Your pictures show them on with the HIDs. They're bright with the headlights off but once you turn those on the LEDs dim significantly.

Thanks for the comments guys. appreciate it

the pics that I took is HID, but it at the dealer, therefore I can't take pics at night time with the light on, but every lights projectors not the same, some could be clearer than the other?, but that is the HID one that I took pics.

Welcome to the boards. Car looks great! I wonder what parts are going to be available for the 350 AWD? I'm really feeling the new bumpers. I wonder what the front lips are going to look like!?!

I know the 250 AWD guys kind of got the short end of the stick for parts. Lets hope the additional AWD population helps to bring out some new parts!

^^ For the 250, there were options for the F Sport Grille however. Wonder why the 350's didn't have them in the catalog?

I'm sure you could just swap it in. For all the F-Sport parts, your best bet is Sewell Lexus, in Dallas/Ft.Worth. You will save a bundle. Mind you, all the US dealers are a lot cheaper than what we have in Canada.

The dealer wanted $700 for the F-Sport intake + Installation.
