Congratulations,

I know you were debating 250 or 350, I think you'll be very happy you chose the 350 over the 250... Good luck and enjoy

Congrats on finally getting the IS350 that you've been looking for! I assume the weather is finally warming up in Chicago so you'll soon be able to go WOT and truly enjoy your new car!

Congratulations on getting your new car! I have an 07 IS350 SGM as well. I just plastidipped all my emblems today and love them. If your wanting to darken your car it's super easy and if done right looks good. I did 4 coats of black and 3 coats of glossifier for a little shine. As for your illuminated lexus door sills you have the luxury model (I think). My car does not have them. Hope you enjoy the 350!!

Take it in to your dealership of choice and they will perform ALL of the needed "open" recalls for your VIN.

Perhaps time for a spark plug change; if you have them do it along with the cam rattle recall, you can get it done for the cost of the plugs + minor labor charges.

Post pics once able; enjoy the ride!
