Getting rid of my 2009 IS250.

Picked up a 2012 F-sport IS350. I really wanted an FR-S in the beginning, but I would miss having an IS as my daily driver due to the amenities and interior quality.
First thing I noticed going from the 2009 IS250 to the F-sport 350 was the firmer stock suspension, more solid steering feel, and nicely bolstered seats during the first initial drive. I haven't even pushed it yet to get the feel of the additional 100+hp and handling. I now have nav, which, is "egh" to me, but it came with it, so whatever, but i'm happy to have bluetooth and back up camera with it now.
So far what I don't like, which can be fixed later on, is the ride height(I feel a lot taller) and wheel gap. Other than that, I'm definitely swapping over my sway bars, intake, and thinking about the exhaust. I kind of like it without the exhaust.
Anyways, here are the pics next to the previous ride:

Thanks alot! I hope it'll look half as decent as the other one.
Thanks! I really wish I had enough to have an FR-S as a second car

For sure, I'll let you know.
Trust me, I really really wanted an FR-S, but in the end, it wasn't too practical for me as the only car.
