Default My 2nd IS350!
Hey guys, I'm saying goodbye to my 2008 SGM IS 350 and hello to a 2011 SFP IS 350 with F Sport package!

I'm pretty happy except with the placement of the third brake light in the rear window. The new one is mounted so high, it's obstructing my view.





Damn..my old car actually looks better in these pics. I guess the original owner of the 2011 does not have my photography skills. lol I have to take some clean shots of the new car at my house.

Nice car! Yeah, I feel the same way about the placement of the third brake light. On your previous IS (or early ISes), the third brake light is lower?

Yes, it didn't have the mounting at all...it was flush (i think that's how you guys would describe it). Not sure if it was a change with the year or because I didn't have a spoiler on the 2008?
