Happy Thanksgiving with a new (2016) IS350 F-Sport
Greetings everybody. My name is Patti and I just adopted a 2016 IS350 F-Sport in Redline/black leather and couldn't be more pleased to find this online group after being a member of the Infiniti online groups for the past 6 yrs (G37x and Q50 AWD). So hello!
I chose the 2016 over a 2017 for financial reasons, my IS has 5500 miles on it, driven by the dealership owner's wife. It is spotless inside and out, and it was a great offer, so I drove it off the showroom floor. I am leasing for 36 months.
i plan to mod it the exact same way as I did both my Infinitis: Monday I take her in to get the windows tinted, and then I am smoking my head, tail and mirror lights with charcoal overlay. (I use Andy Mercado/BlueBatmobile's laser cut overlay kits. Awesome fit and I get them professionally installed.)
I'm debating PlastiDip-ping the rear emblems and maybe blackout the strip of chrome over the front grill. I think that'll look cool on the Redline. Will post photos of the car on the appropriate forum when done.
I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago and glad to meet y'all!

Hey all, new member here. I got my new '16 IS 300 about a month ago and have been having a blast so far. Enough I thought I might like jumping on the forums.
Here's a quick album for more pics of it:
https://www.clublexus.com/g/album/6698021
Anyway I have always liked going for drives on back roads and such when I get antsy or just have a long day at work, and my previous cars never really did that activity justice - my last car was a '15 Camry, to give you an idea. I didn't keep it that long because, well, I wanted to actually enjoy driving my car but still drive something that made sense to take to work every day. Hence, the IS 300: Atomic Silver, with the F Sport package. Looking forward to chatting about various shenanigans with this thing as well as yours.
Btw, MBPhotos91, that '17 model looks sick in white with the F Sport trim. I wasn't really a fan of white on the pre-refresh, but that one is nice.

Thank you! I was trying to avoid white, I personally like it but I really wanted the blue or possibly the silver lining, but my broker found this one for me and shot me pics and I loved it on the refresh a lot more so I went for it haha. enjoy yours! I know I'm sure enjoying mine!

IS 350 F-Sport owner (2014-24kmiles)
Finally got my dream machine! Been looking for a bit and always loved the iS models; finally caught a break and got a great deal on a CPO model. Purchased yesterday as a birthday present for myself. Over been driving 09 f150 Lariat last 6 years and while it is a great truck (especially since the Bilstein shocks and Michelin's were installed) it's a truck and I have had my eyes on these cars for a while. I drove several and the Audi A4 sport was my 2nd choice after this showed up and I was able to get it in mid 30's at great rate!
It's silver with red interior, stunning combo and with the Mark Levinson stereo sounds great.
As it's bone stock I would like to add a little power where I can grab it so I guess a cai, cat back and tune will be what's next? I'm fairly ignorant with this subject as I have been in trucks most of my 26 years of driving and this is my first enthusiast car so I look forward to maximizing is potential (within reason-ride quality) and look forward to actually having fun behind the wheel ( and do better than 14-18 mpg babying it).
I will start looking through the forums but right of the bat any advice on a combination setup of cai and exhaust recommendations is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and look forward to "meeting" the members of this forum!

Hi,
I'm Tim and I own a 2016 IS300 F Sport in Ultra White with black interior. I have almost every option attached to my car. The only things I'm lacking are the F Sport lowering springs and intake. I just got my windows tinted.

Hey guys!
Just picked up my 2014 is350 F-Sport last Friday as a B-day present for myself! It is Nebula Gray with Black Interior. I wanted to go with Obsidian but didn't find one with black interior to go with it within 100 miles.
I am located in Kenosha, WI and haven't really found much of a Lexus following anywhere nearby so I'm definitely interested in finding a group somewhere soon. My previous car was a 2013 Kia Optima LX. Modded that one decently and looking to do some light mods to this one. Excited to see what this forum has to offer and looking forward to looking at all your awesome cars!

Hey everyone,
I've been reading all the posts on Club Lexus for quite some time, but I figured now's the time to join as I will be an IS owner very shortly.
From southern Ontario, Canada.
I just made the leap into the World of Lexus and signed the papers yesterday. Feels kind of odd that I'm buying a new Lexus in December, but I just had to get a 2017 IS.
So I just purchased a 2017 IS 350 F-Sport Series 3 in Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0. Unfortunately, there are no pictures yet as the dealer I purchased it from does not have one in stock. There is one at another dealership about an hour's drive away. They are just verifying whether it has already been sold or not. If not, they said that I'll be the first one in Canada with a 2017 IS 350 in Ultrasonic Blue. Otherwise, they have 3 of them on a boat coming from Japan as we speak. I should be able to get one of those by early January if I can't get the one from the other dealership.
Will add some pics as soon as I pick it up.
