congrats on the new car. Love the yellow brake calipers and the color matched engine cover. But I wonder why my F-sport didn't come with those? It's making me really jealous.

love the LED DRLs
I have been thinking about getting the black pearl emblems and now I really want them, they look great! Were they much trouble to install?

Beautiful car, congrats!

Those didn't come from factory. The yellow brake is DIY (we used G2 caliper paint). As for the engine cover, we know someone who does auto body work, and he color matched it using the paint code.

thanks! yeah i love the black pearl emblems. It's quite easy to install. It requires patience, but doesn't take too long. Just make sure you put painters tape around the letters of the old 'IS X50' emblem before taking it off so you can use it as a guide for putting on the new emblem.

Looks great, and the black pearl emblems look really good on USB – a color I’m partial too . Best of luck with it.

Dang, doesn't Lexus wrap their cars in transport? How did it get so dirty at the dealer, who probably only had it for a very short time...

not sure. But it couldn't have gotten dirty at the dealer, since we picked up the car the day after it arrived. all i know is that the car made a stop in Chicago, so the transport vehicle might have changed, or it might have been unwrapped there (if indeed it's wrapped) or something...
