I have Ultra White, but I do love the Atomic Silver. I may just turn my car in at the end of the lease and get an Atomic Silver on Rioja Red IS350. Beautiful cars, everyone!

Well it's my daily, so I won't go too crazy. In spring I'll have the window trim and front grill trim/surround wrapped to get rid of the chrome. Otherwise, just a front lip. I'm looking to get a weekend car in spring, so my mods will be focused on that car since it will be used at the track and autocross events.
A lot of people here don't seem to like the chrome trims. I don't mind at all. In fact, I think it compliments the metallic feel of the atomic silver color pretty well.

Too bad you're not using this on the track. I'd love know how the 3IS performs on the track.

I agree, it doesn't look bad at all. I just want to wrap it gunmetal like the wheels...I'm not wrapping it black like everyone else since I'm not a big fan of the black trim on this car.

Well mine is an IS250 F Sport AWD, so I don't think it would perform how I would want at the track (I'm predicting not enough power and lots of understeer). I'm used to using light rear wheel drive sports cars for track/autox (and a 2012 WRX at one point as well lol). Plus it is my daily it and want to use my brakes and tires as long as I can haha.

Not really. It sounds pretty similar to me (sound generator vs. F-Sport intake)

If you want better sound, it would be a good idea to get an exhaust.
I bought the F-Sport exhaust and I love it.
It's not too loud, but when you push the car, the growl is deep and smooth

Gunmetal wrap? That sounds pretty cool. Post a picture when you're done.

Just washed/waxed my car this past weekend, and decided to take some pictures and play with the lights a bit
