To the OP, very nice! Hope you love it as much as I have loved my IS.
Most likely, it will not be possible to find one off the showcase floor / lot that would have the color which we would be looking for but I believe they can special build one from the factoy if we were to go this route.

At the local dealership here, I have seen F-Sport equipped models in SGM, USB and Obsidian at different times I have visited in the showcase floor. The next few times I have come back the cars dissapeared (sold).

Keep us posted if you are able to special order. My lease isn't up until October so I won't be doing anything for a while. If I can't get GFM I will probably get USB.

I am jealous of your front bumper, headlights, and taillights. Congratulations on the new car.

I talked to the local dealership about the colors. The answer I received is yes, you can special order a vehicle with any package, accessories and color you like. With the special order case, there will be no discount off the car because of the same reason because it will need to be built and shipped directly from the factory (Japan). This will require a minimum down payment (I forgot the amount, 5-7K I think) up front for this.

Nice car! This F-Sport package suspension is tuned by the same engineers as the LF-A. Dunno how that translates into performance.
