Default Introducing myself a little late

Hey all,

I've been posting/lurking here for a month now. I will be getting a 2014 IS 350 F sport in Ultra White / Rioja Red w/Mark Lev Sound system soon...

I came from daily driving a '96 Honda Prelude... here she is below with 200k miles

Glad to be a part of this forum as a noob to LEXUS brand, and looking to slowly modding the new Lex tastefully over the years with some new wheels, nice clean kit, some bolt on engine mods and a drop...

I think my profile picture makes people think i'm a chic perhaps, the picture was taken by my wife, hence the name in the picture is not mine lol.

I bought the car from Roseville, Stevens Creek tried to make me feel like if I didnt pay MSRP and order one right away, I wont get the car for months.

lol, I was just wondering because I bought my UW/RR 350 at Stevens Creek the same day someone bought the exact IS, I was told the person was in the East Bay. Thought it might have been you.

After a long and stressful day at work driving home on an evo was a b****.


With that said if i have an opportunity to buy the Evo again i would buy it. It is a true drivers car

0-60 on an Evo is quicker ( i had a twin clutch though)
welcome to clublexus, i also came from an evo, no one can appreciate the car until theyve driven an evo for sure! great cars, i still have mine for fun and youre right, that car is not for DD, driving my lexus is like a night and day difference

Hi everyone, a proud owner of new IS350 RWD --- non- F Sport in Atomic Silver with black interior. Included is luxury package. It is a Canadian model and so it comes with the headlamp washers.

Took delivery near the end of September but didn't have the time to do a full detailing until recently.

Thanks for your compliment.

I used Iron X (for decontamination) followed by various products mainly from Zymol. In addition, some stuff were from Meguairs, Autogylm and Jeff Werkstatt.

The ramp setup was actually not for detailing but for clear bra installation and fog light bulb changeover. :P

Wow, Nice AndyL!

The Atomic Silver (and the way you detailed it) makes the IS look so fluid and precious. Like it's been carved from a solid chunk of polished brushed nickel.

And props to your garage and those ramps. Overall, car looks like a sculpted work of art worthy of display at a museum.
