So basically was tired and I still have to go back to Aerotect because they need to redo the hood...lol...since I was the first IS-F they did, they had to test for different ways to make the clear bra work for my car.
Congratulations on the purchase! The Ultrasonic blue is a definite head-turner

I was actually at Aerotect this past Saturday morning for some touch up work on my E63. Francisco told me about the "challenging" install he had on a new IS-F the night before and showed me some pics on his camera. Ha, I guess it was your car

Enjoy the IS-F, it looks like a winner

I thought it was just 61k out the door since they can't mark it up?

My bad, should've seen when the post is, how was the turnout?

Hey guys
Im CrazyMPG's friend with the 335i. Just wanted to let you fellas know that when I was posting the thread on e90post.com I already knew there would be a lot of haters/flamers. I still wanted to post and share to the E90 owners just how nice the IS-F is. When I shared my brother's car on the forums, I happened to gather all the INFINITI haters too
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96919

Anyways, just wanted to say hi and also say that I cant wait to do a little 40-100mpg (safely) against Phil
I always loved Lexus', being a proud owner of an IS300 myself not to mention a proud poster on what use to be IS300.net, and want you guys to know that I DONT have the stereotypical Bimmer driver's personality hehe
I LOVE ALL CARS! Actually...I don't really like Mercs

i love that color on that e90. thats all i have to say to the bimmer

yes, it is interesting reading on the e90 forums. there are some real haters out there, but also some potential lexus owners as well. so interesting to see how people get so defensive about the cars they drive. i know i do.

cars are already dynoed from the factory probably multiple times during installation, babying it below 3k rpm wont do anything. Just drive it normal, not beating on it, but not babying it
