Playing with shop again I think the car would have been even better with the GS F or RC F wheels.

Out of the two, I would vote for the RC F wheels (lower one) - That being said, I do like the Enkei wheels on the F Sport Performance so I wouldn't swap these wheels, at least for now. I may have a different opinion in person or better pic of the white as we haven't seen any of them on the car (other than photo shopped).

Just curious, how did you get this information? The official Jacksonville Port Schedule doesn't show any vehicle ships for the 17th and the list doesn't go out to the 23rd. My car was scheduled to arrive at Jax on 12/20, but given that Andromeda Leader will be in Panama by the 15th, I'm inclined to believe that its the ship arriving the 23rd. This however would mean there is 0 chance of me getting my car this year.

Tipsy got the inside scoop first

How did you happen to get the 12/17 and 12/23 dates though?

sorry about that. I overlooked Panama Canal transits as arrivals in the US.

Ah gotcha. No worries. By any chance is the 12/17 ship Andromeda Leader?

Tipsy - I agree, in that pic, the color is not flattering but to be honest, they never do with all the tape and googleegoo on them. Is that a white IS 500 in front of it though?!?

Not sure why they went soooo overboard with it but it is what it is...
I have only seen the circuit red in pictures. I have actively avoided the showroom when I’m in for service, because I want to be genuinely surprised when I see my IS 500 for the first time. I’ll admit, the words ‘Oh Gosh…’ slip past my lips every time I see it. 😂 Then again, I thought the same about the rioja red until I saw my car with it.

Andromeda is scheduled the 15th in Panama. I would assume 3 days to JJacksonville at the most.. There was a ship coming into port yesterday but I can't find it on the map now. Might have turned off thier AIS system.

Awesome…. Are you allowed to share the FB post if it’s public..??

I want to dissect that front bumper & grill of the original photo (not screen shot)

Great pics so far..!! The “Eagle has landed”

Also, for sure they already landed on the West Coast port as well approx. 2 weeks ago..

Just waiting for them to surface officially…
