His car doesn't have the LED headlights anyways (nor does mine), but some people with the new LED/HID headlights have had the dark chrome finish bubbling inside.

Thanks all ...

I have this mini mod this friday .. .not sure whether you guys consider that as mod ..
I'll be doing Teflon coat this friday ... got that as for nominal price when I dealt with the dealer ..

Let me see what it'll do after the coating.
An opinions on teflon coat? I heard some people saying it as "not worth it" and some people felt "its necessary for long time shine". May be its personal choice ..

Maybe, there hasn't been a TON of changes made between 2006+ which is good because it means parts are plentiful and aftermarket is cheaper (because of more years in production vs my stupid Lincoln I had)

for example the Eibach springs for my old 2000 Lincoln LS V8..... 800-1000 bucks, Eibach springs for IS250.....roughly 250 bucks.......DAY-YUM!

Looks like you got the initiation drill right. Nice pic of your new car.
Took almost 40 shots in various angles and finally I was happy with 2 shots out of them.
