Congrats! Nice ride! Where in CT?? I also bought at McDermott and I'm in East Haven

Thanks! I live down in Milford. How was your experience at McDermott? Mine was really painless, no pressure whatsoever.

Ok. My experience was great! No pressure on their side - I actually put pressure on them That's how I ended up buying from them! They're right in town and I got a great deal I couldn't refuse!

I will definitely consider them in the future. They were quick to get me into the exact car I wanted, found it pretty difficult to find the 350 F-Sport in Ultra white here in CT. I've only seen a few of them throughout the state, mostly down in Fairfield County though.

Hi, everyone. I am new to the forum and this is my very first Lexus in my life. I bought my IS 350 F Sport last month and finally got the appointment to have the Cilajet applied today.

It is the very popular combination, ultra white/rioja red, that many of you got here. It comes with ML, BSM and dynamic cruise control. Sadly I can't find any dealer with VGRS in stock around my area.

It is pretty much stock now. I only replaced all the interior lighting to LED, including the puddle light and reverse light.

Future mod includes:
1) Illuminated Door Sills
2) Ceramic Windows Tint
3) TBD

I originally posted this in another thread (apparently in the wrong place), with minimal response. Decided to try again, here:

Hey, everyone! I'm just joining this forum after purchasing my first Lexus, an Ultra White on Black 2015 IS F Sport RWD, on 11 AUG 15, and wanted to let everyone know and join in on the fun! This car is my Retirement from the Army (23+ years; will be officially retired on 01JAN16) present to myself (and from my lovely wife*)! This is my second Toyota product (I also have a 2004 Toyota 4Runner with almost 180,000 miles - bought it with 160k+) and as I expected, I absolutely love it! After about half a day of ownership, I went from not wanting to change a thing on it, to having quite a little wishlist going, already. So far, I have had the dealer install the Xylon (not sure if this is a Lexus dealership-wide option or just a Hawaii thing) paint and interior protection, as well as 35% tint all around. I just received my Weathertech Digitalfit floor liners/mats, today, and will probably drop them in tomorrow, after a quick touch-up vacuuming. I also received the Heatshield sun screen for the windshield, yesterday, and it fits like a glove and works amazingly! As far as my wishlist, I have taken some cues, hints, and ideas from some of the members on this forum and it includes:


-ACE Alloy Convex 19x8.5 & 19x10 in Titanium (plan to either have them gloss clear powdercoated, or possibly gloss black)


or


-Velgen VMB5 19x9 & 19x10.5 (same powdercoating choices as above)
-gloss black chrome blackout/delete on grill and window trim
-RSR Down springs
-EZ Lip splitter/spoiler
-Japanese-spec (IS/F Sport) fog/driving lights (is there a kit for this?)


and the following Lexus Accessories:
-glass breakage sensor
-F-Sport Flat Tire Repair Kit
-F-Sport Performance Exhaust
-F-Sport Performance Air Intake
-F-Sport Shock Absorbers
-F-Sport Rear Spoiler
-Illuminated Door Sills
-F-Sport Key Gloves (currently have the Lexus key gloves)


Please feel free to let me know the hard facts, opinions, and ideas on any of these mods. I look forward to interacting with all of you and racking up many miles on my IS!

Lum64, I realize this post is a month old, but I wanted to give my 2 cents, in case you are still deciding on tinting. I have 35% all around, as that is the legal limit, here in HI. I have no issues at all viewing my BSM Indicators on the mirrors. Hopefully these pics will help you get an idea of what it looks like. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding this.

Hello, again. As you guys have probably already figured out, I'm a newbie to CL; only been on a few days now. I have been searching and trying to find out how to add a signature block to my posts. I tried FAQs and even How-Tos (didn't realize thay link was for the vehicles themselves, not the site), and searched all over my edit profile link and the User CP, but I can't find it. Someone please chime in and give a newbie a little friendly advice. Thanks in advance.

Hello is350fs15! Welcome to ClubLexus! To edit your signature, go to "quick links", then click on "edit signature" under user control panel.

Regarding your car, nice choice there! Can't wait to see how your modifications will turn this car into a custom 3IS!

is350fs15

Lexi90, thanks for the welcoming, the compliments on the car, and the help with the signature block. I'm going to try that, now!
