Good afternoon from Denver, CO. Name is Damir but my friends call me Vlad. Just acquired a 2016 CPO IS300 F-Sport a little over a month ago, so decided to jump on here for general information/parts and such. Don't plan to do much to the car honestly but for the lower control arm bushing upgrade and just a few cosmetic things (starting by fixing those godawful paint swirls the detailer at Kuni left behind, dude didn't know what the hell he was doing) and about it. It'll become my D.D once my 250k 02' Maxima SE 6spd tanks at some point although still running pretty good for the age and mileage. Anyways just introducing myself and yeah hope to meet more local members and what not at some point . Yes, I do know how to use the search button and not lazy to read through old threads to find answers, so not that much of a newb lol

Default New 3is Owner

Hello!! I purchased my Nebula Grey Pearl 17' IS300 F-Sport back in November! I wanted the red interior, but got black. Traded in my g37 for it. After putting my G back to stock, it was time for it to go. Excited about the new journey with the 3is! So far I have the RR Racing intake and tune, Well window visors, and tint (if that counts lol).

Very nice man, that's the color combo I was looking for but couldn't find one here in Colorado to save my life so had to settle for the white one. The only few gray ones had the red interior and while pretty cool but too hard to take care of lol. Congrats on the purchase!

It was missing. I went to the local Lexus dealership and bought one. I didn't get it color matched because I kind of like the black cover. But I may get it painted this Spring.

I definitely was thinking about a white one. My older brother has the GS350 F sport in Black with red guts! But I like the black on black. And thank you!

Nice! I traded my G37S coupe in for the same color combo in a 2016 IS 350 F Sport yesterday. I'll post a few pics later this week. My dog was starting to have a hard time getting in and out of the G37 so it was time for a sedan.

Default New to Me 2016 IS 350 F Sport

As I mentioned above I just traded my Infiniti G37S coupe in on a 2016 IS 350 F Sport in Nebula Gray with a black interior. After 15 years of Infinitis it was time for a change. As my dog and I get older a coupe isn't quite as practical as a primary car and I don't drive enough to warrant having two cars. I had driven a few IS cars that friends had over the years and like the style. While I miss the handling and steering feel of the G I do not miss the rattles! City of Atlanta roads are terrible. My IS has just under 36k miles and came with the Levinson system and a nice set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3 AS tires.

I am looking forward to learning more about my car though I probably won't go down the modification road with this car. Never say never though.

Talking New to Club

Hey guys i'm new to the club i recently purchased a 2018 IS300 F Sport Atomic Silver and Roja Red. I have all the options w/Navigation and Mark Levinson system. I'm in love with it and plan on making a few aesthetic changes first. I would also like some advice on what mods would be a good recommendation to start with, i personally would like to tune if possible??? Thanks and hope you appreciate the pics.
