If u can, put exhaust on it immediately, I waited 8 months after I bought mine before putting exhaust on and man what a difference in sound. Car sounds good stock but really comes alive with exhaust.

Congrats on the F and welcome to Club Lexus! There 's a wealth of info here on the forums about practically anything for the F. When it comes to a nav hack, there are a few products that do the job well. I know Beat Sonic is a vendor here, and they have a nav override module. It's plug and play and you don't have to worry about cutting wires.
You'll be getting others attention on the roads, and that's both a good and bad. It's mostly good, but you'll soon find out that there are some who want to see what the F is capable of on public roads. And with a black F, you'll need constant care with its paint. Swirls galore, but a little TLC surely goes a long way. There are a few vendors here that have great deals on the car care supplies you'll need.
Enjoy your F next week!

Congratulations and welcome to the club. I too am an owner of an Obsidian F (2008) and all the comments about care and maintenance are all true! It's unbeatable when clean. I ordered a PC 7424XP a couple of weeks ago and the associated pads, cutting compound, and polish. Wow! It's definitely a labor of love.
And yes, just driving it puts you in a happy place!
Have fun as I know you will.
