Default New guy new car pix

Hey guys I bought a new car last month its a 2008 is350
so far im very happy with it, much quicker then my old g37 coupe(from a dig).
i really wanted to get a white one but these cars are really hard to
come by in good condition with low miles and not wrecked
so far i have installed 20% tints im gonna start modding it spring time.

the car is basicly a year old since the first owner bought it brand new last september for the dealer.
it has a clear bra on the bumpers,hood,fenders,side mirrors,door handles.
car got 12,000 miles on it no clue wich package i got if you know would be great if you can tell me.

let me know what you guys think.







this is my old G37s Coupe

congrats. on the new car, the old one looks pretty sick too. i didn't get a look at your dash, but i can tell you at least have the parking assist. the main 3 packages are premium, sport and luxury. some options are stand alone and some are combos. the back up camera, hid's, navigation, mark levinson stereo, memory seats, rear sun shade, etc. are all taken into account. good luck with the mods..

well it feels quicker to 60
and what i miss most about the G37s is the handeling im sure with a few mods the IS will corner as well.
