Default New Lexus IS-F Owner!!!!!

Wow, this is one fantastic car! I live in Socal and I flew out to McGrath in Chicago and bought the car! I drove it back 2100 miles and it was fantastic.

Before I made the trip, I had a local shop in Chicago, design shielding, wrap the whole front end and rockers with 3M Ventureshield protective film. It protected the car the whole way from thousands of bugs and rock chips.

Check out the pictures.

How funny, I flew out to SoCal, bought my 2009 USB/Alpine, and drove it back to Chicago in 2010. Congrats!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

You have a great car, drive it like you own it.

Expect new tires at about 10,000 to 17,000 miles depending on how you drive.
I did mine yesterday @ 17,000 miles +. It cost me $1,384.53 out the door.

And I work for Lexus.

ENJOY YOUR NEW IS-F!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the comments guys. It was a great trip. I love the car to death.

Fpilot...thanks for the heads up on the tires. I haven't check on the wear but I now have 3000 miles on it.
