We are trying to establish if you have 4 LEDs (that light up) inside the side reflector..

Thank You

I see that you already got your answer to the question about the taillights, so I won't worry about taking those pictures today then.

Let me know if you need any other info.

Patience will be key. My sources tell me that there ultrasonic blue is going to be an extremely limited produced quantity for quite some time and the alpine white/black will only become available once lexus starts to accept special orders.

So far there has been no wind noise issues. The car is very well sealed and even with the windows down it is still not too loud, as some others cars get extremely loud when the windows are open. One downside of the IS-F that I have noticed is that there is no plastic guard for the underside of the front bumper as there is on some of the other lexuses. This will be a problem if you happen to bottom out in it because it is a painted bottom so it will be expensive to repair.

I love the suspension on the IS-F. It is so responsive and it is a tight suspension but it also drives smoothly on city streets.

Theres some quick info on it so far. I will post a more comprehensive review in the next week or so if you all would be interested in reading it?

Yes, please do so. Especially if there is anything you found that would be helpful you wish you would've gotten or asked the dealer. I'm trying to learn as much as I can while waiting for mine to arrive.

Thanks for all the feedback, been informative so far.
