Congratulations...
Anyway its OK if you didn't get the key gloves since you have the card key and its much much better than carrying the remote in your pocket . I have the card key and now I almost never take the remote with me and every time I show it to people I know they gets impressed !

Ok. Heard back from Lexus service this morning at they are stating 4 hours to install the LED fog lights and 2 hours to exchange the puddle lights @ ~$600. This is way more than initial #s so I'm going to try and find another place to install the LED fog lights. Also I thought the puddle lights took only 10 minutes but they are saying their work instructions is telling them to disassemble the side mirrors to replace this.

I purchased Michelin X-Ice Xi3 for my winter tires and are scheduled for install tomorrow. I'll probably get summer wheels and tires in spring.

If anyone is interested in purchasing the stock IS350 F Sport tires let me know!

I'll be getting the winter tires to use with the stock wheels and get summer wheels and tires in the spring. My mats did have the red stitch and f-sport steering wheels! Only think it didn't have were the key gloves because I removed the accessories package. I purchased these with all season mats from Sewell.

Thank you. I'm getting the LED Fog lights, swapping bulbs with LED, PPF, Tint, Opti-Coat & summer wheels/tires. At some point I would love to get the aimgain kit (mainly the rear diffuser type 2).

Glad to hear you like the smart card key. Only down side I could think of is that you can't open the door or trunk for someone without being right next to the car but it probably will be very minor thing. Do you keep yours in your wallet? Does it fit ok since it is bit thicker than CC?

The side mirrors have to pretty much be disassembled to replace the puddle lights. I did it myself and wasn't too bad...its kind of scary but there is a good set of instructions on the GS forums. I followed those and had no issue.
