I assume you’re referencing this photo on the left side of the mirror? After I posted, I saw it too and had to go back and make sure I didn’t miss a blemish or the clear protective film that this vinyl had. Turns out it was just a reflection from one of the lights I had on at the time.
Man I totally think they should have the F Sports come from the factory w/ Black already, or Gunmetal at least like my wife's NX.. She didn't even have to do a chrome delete..
What part of Texas are you in?

I completely agree and think the newer model years are black… maybe that’s just the 500s though… not sure. I’m just glad it didn’t have more chrome to cover up!

Man, it's shots like these that make me love MP. Is there a filter on it at all? It looks more orange than in some.
From what I’ve seen, the filters just enhance whatever is going on at the time. Like incognito, if it’s grimy or dirty, it can appear flat as hell. (In person and in photos.) If it’s clean however…va-va-va-voom! ❤️ The other paint colors seem to retain their luster a little better.
They are pricey, so at first I was unsure. But, I decided to bite the bullet, and they are worth the money. Turn-in is so crisp compared to the Potenzas that came on the car when it was new, and the car feels somewhat more planted and precise in the corners. The only gripe I have with them is road noise on the highway, which can be a bit loud at times. Still, I recommend them highly.
Thanks for that info. Definitely going to change the Brisgestones out whenever they waste. Always been a fan of Michelin.

Thanks for that 2nd opinion. I'm convinced !

I had a 2021 white on white and loved it!! I tried to have my 2022 IS 500 in the same combo but the dealer could only find me a red interior, which I like, but the white on white was just sublime!!
LOL big change from that 09 is250 to this 23 is350
Nice. IS500 is the shizz ! Would love to ride one someday and see what it's about ! Red is also nice on the 4is. It's like a matte red as opposed to the shinier red the 3is's had.
It's time to say, many new cars have debuted in the last few years. But the IS is still, in my opinion, THEE best looking of them all. I still do double takes at every one I see whiz by. The front end styling and DRL's are especially sinister, and like nothing else. The rear... I'm not so hot on (looks layered or squashed, but still pleasant enough). Overall, I think this will be a model and design that is a timeless collectible over the longterm.
