Smile Is there an ISF in my future?

Hey guys, some of you might know me from the many forums I frequent . Anyhoo, I'm looking at maybe getting an ISF. I've previously owned a 350, nsx, and 3 vipers. You can see my rides here: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...e%20Batmobile/.

As you can see, I'm a bit partial to Blue . Right now, I'm debating between Blue and White for an ISF. I dont see many Blue ones as I do the other colors. How rare is the Blue?

Anyways, you'll see me here frequently, as I make my decision for my next car!

Ultrasonic Blue is a very rare color. If you can get your hands on one, do it.

Love the NSX. Great car I had one myself. Good luck on the ISF. Search online and I am sure you will fine one some where but for sure harder color to come across.

did you sell the NSX? "or" are you selling the NSX?

Seems for every 15 IS-F's, 1 is Ultrasonic.

I have the blue and love it. Get ton's of comments on it as well. Didn't know they were so hard to get. Was at the dealer talking about how I really liked the IS-F but only had my 350 for a year. Told him if I got one what I wanted and a week later he calls me and said they got one in loaded just like I wanted and it was in the blue. Went down and got it the same day. Guess I was lucky to get that color.

So are you from Nebraska as well? I seen the Woodhouse tags on the one car.

Unfortunately I had to sell it in order to refinance my home. Here's a couple more pics of it after I had gotten done fixing her up.

^^ Simply gorgeous!

I miss mine

I had that same plate frame as you! lol...

I only had front lip, comptech --exhaust/test pipes/headders/intake box, JDM Type R shift boot and short shift ball. I also put an aftermarket radio as it was pretty weak so I had a local stereo shop make it crazy with out cutting anything up....mine was totaled in a wreck.

Some lucky person got a great looking car!

thanks for sharing more pics!

I've seen the production sheet for the next 90 days for ISF's in the Western USA. 10-15% of production is Ultra Sonic Blue. No Matador Reds. Lots of black. Few if any alpine interiors, I think all or nearly all of production is black.

Just sit tight, the blue ones are coming. It's a demand color. Don't be fooled into this "rare" nonsense. The factory and Lexus USA are allocating colors on their marketing forecasts.

Get the blue, its an awesome color for an awesome car I was in the dealership a few days ago and I was surprised they had a blue one on the showroom floor, my dealer said it wouldn't last the day, that they're lucky to have one on the floor, they don't last very long in any color...the guy who came in behind me bought the blue one....

I love my IS-F

Ohh and sick NSX

by the cars you have, i think you should get a GT-R R35. since that's what you'd really want after about 10 months with an F.

andy!! i dunno if i told you at the corolla meet, but i have a blue/alpine on special order coming in ~november.

on a side note, are more blues being produced now? i wonder if any will come with the alpine or if that's still a special order only option. i'd love to be able to make a great deal on one.

EDIT: this is chris aka CJ from matrixowners.

Ultra sonic blue is one hot color! And the GTR doesn't come in blue otherwise I would say try to get one of those, so go with the blue IS-F!

btw are you still making overlays for the G35/37/Z guys?
