Thanks bro!! The car is definitely a head turner. I can't wait for car show /cruise nights this year. I've been told " I've never seen one of those in person" a lot since I got it last month.

Also blacked out the interior center console area. Carbon fiber shifter and vinyl for the drive mode ****, then glossy black vinyl for the volume and tuner *****. I didn't like the look of the ceramic ***** against the piano black center console. I really like the 2 tone look of them now.

​​​​​Stopped at the supermarket and while walking back I thought "Damn she's pretty 😍"




​I love the black wheels with the dark tint at night. It almost makes the car disappear with the grey color when in a parking lot.

I am always finding excuses to go out, even if it's just "I'm tired of jogging around my usual spot".




Peep the "twisty road" sign. That is a neat touch.

Went to the first car show/cruise in of the season at a local brewery. About 200 cars showed up through the whole evening. It was Mopar night to lots of muscle cars but there were a decent amount of tuners to park with. I put the car out there for all to look at and got lots of comments and conversation about the IS350 F SPORT. Lots of people saying they've never seen one In Person. Lots more Interest in my car than the other euro tuners that are there lol.

People won’t appreciate the amazingness of our cars unless we’re out there. 😎 Good show!

That was exactly what was happening. It was kinda cool to have that much interest from others. Didn't happen that much with my Tacoma even though it was lightly built up. I didn't touch much yet and it's an head tuner. Lots of questions about the BBS wheels.
Lots of "Whoa dude cool car... What is it?"
Me -"IS350 F sport "
"Oh I've heard of those but never seen one"

I love these stories! It amazes me that after all this time of cool cars, Lexus is not generally seen as ‘cool’.

Well…it just means we have more of the Lord’s work to do. 😎

My license plate finally came after almost 10 months of waiting:



You know how when you drive along and you see a custom plate, and you try and figure out the meaning? I wanted the opposite. I wanted the most "this is what it is" plates hahaha

Congratulations 👏. I've been thinking about the same for mine but "Grey". I have the same license plate frame as you on mine.
