Coming from a fully-loaded 2IS350 with Luxury and Nav/ML packages, as well as rear sunshade, adaptive headlights, reverse tilt side mirrors, spoiler, illuminated door scuff plates. I do miss a lot of features that are currently not included in mine, but there are trade-offs that I guess make up for it. Still getting used to missing some bells and whistles, but overall, this one has been quite pleasant to drive. I definitely love the added technology!
Never get tired of seeing the obsidian as I wait for my own! Enjoy your new car. Looking very nice.

How did you get "black chrome" wheels or is that the factory wheels?

Me too and mine will be obsidian so it'll look much worse when dirty!

I'm thinking of getting Opti-Coat so simple pressure wash through the drive through car wash will get the shine back on but doing it at the detailer would cost ~$800 and doing it on my own now may not be an option due to cold weather. I guess I could try to get it done in my garage but it'll still be ~ 30 F degrees or less still.

^^^^

That's the way I park. lol

@iPinky -- The more you drive the more you'll appreciate the car and the vision they have for the Fsport. I've had cars with most if not all of the tech you mentioned but wouldn't go back. I have traded in an appliance for an honest to gosh thrilling driving machine with driving upgrades in all of the right places. I actually LOOK for reasons to drive this car like for no reason at all.

These are the wheels I have. They're just the 18" wheel/tire upgrade package for the non-F Sport (at least for 350, not sure about 250).

The first pic of the white car with the 5 spoke rims looks like it has the rims from the 2013 IS. Close to the 2014 optional wheel package, but not the same.

Fully agreed, but that wasn't the pic I was responding to. Tigerstyle provided a picture and asked what wheels they were. I answered it. They are the 18" upgrade package for the non F-Sport.
