Congrats on the soon to be purchase. You'll love the car and it'll be quicker than the Tahoe. You really don't need to buy the F Sport items, but they are nice. Check the classifieds for used parts as well.

I found some1 on ebay that lives in my city that is selling the f sport exhaust. one of my friend's told me i should wait to install it after the break in period? can anyone tell me if that will really matter?? thanks

Breaking in only really refers to breaking in the engine, you can swap exhaust day one if you wanted. Also, if you're paying more than $1k for the f-sport exhaust (since you're on eBay, you might be), I'd check the classifieds here!

awesome, thanks. Yeah, i found the guy on ebay, and luckily he was in my city. I got the exhaust for 850, and he said it was only on for like a week. I just got my car back an hour ago, and i like the sound, but it is a bit loud. Do ya'll think i got an okay deal?

My IS250 is the same color and exterior and interior as the one your getting....Tint the windows 25%. Makes the car look better and the tint will look darker than 25% because of the black interior. I upgraded the wheels to the chrome IS wheels. Post some pics you are gonna love it.
