Default Picked up my IS-F Saturday

Hello all. Picked up my new is-f last Saturday and am having a blast. The new destination assist is very impressive, along with everything else about the car. Here are some requested pictures, and for all you 2010 wheel haters, I must admit they are growing on me. I think they look better in person, as well as being on a black car. I have also had several compliments from others.

I'll have to agree they only look horrible with Ultrasonic Blue. I'll stick to my BBS, though, but they're growing on me aswell.

Congrats on the purschase!

Congrats on the purchase, but the wheels need to go... sorry. All I see are 5 big "M" or "W", depending on how you look at it. The samurai sword BBS are the best OEM wheels I've seen in a long time.

Can you verify that your exhaust tips are indeed just cosmetic and that they don't physically connect to the exhaust? One of the pictures of the 2010 changes that I saw showed a full exhaust laid out, with the tips attached to the mufflers. I think it was likely photoshopped/done for presentation, but am curious if they did actually make a change and connect them directly..?
