Hello. I've owned my USBM/Blk ISF for 7 months now and really love it. I sold my Z06 and G sedan and bought this '08 ISF in early June '13. I've been over at G35driver for 10 yrs and a z06/corvette forum for 5 yrs. Sorry if this is in wrong section

My F has nav and ML audio. It's stock save for some LED DRLs/peanut lights/tint.
It has lower than avg. miles/yr along with a b2b 6 yr/125kmi ext. warranty. I've already used it to replace the touch screen (bad digitizer/the whole unit replaced) and water pump (had a very slight leak according to dealer, I never saw a drop; caught early)all for just $50 deductible. (Water pump was zero charge under pwr train warr). All I need is the axle click repaired and the seals around the lower windshield replaced -( thx lex for using a poor supplier for this part)

Love the ultrasonic blue color, the ride/handling, size/weight, acceleration and intoxicating engine/exhaust note. The stance/wheels, stacked exhaust tips and factory body kit look superb to me. I've lurked here for 8 months and learned a lot - thanks for all the useful info. Take care.

Ps - the lexF forum has no traffic - so I'm glad I came here.

James.

 

Very clean car! I'm on my 8th month of ownership. Loving it as much as day one.

 

Awesome, thanks! Wish my bumper was not drilled for plates I usually can go 5-6 yrs b4 getting a bored cop pull me over. ( saw your white ISF - nice!)

 

James, greetings from a fellow USB owner! For your drilled bumper you can purchase relatively cheap painted bumper plugs, or if you don't mind a little DIY you can make your own using some plastic panel fasteners from any auto parts store and painting them with touch up USB paint. If you do go this route I would advise putting a few layers of clear coat on the painted plugs to add extra protection against chips. Surely anything will look better than an empty front plate mount. Enjoy!

 

Welcome. Nice car!

Best of luck.

 

Very clean ride, welcome aboard!

I purchased my USB about 4 months ago, so I am still having it sink it that I own one... lol

 

love that USB color!

 

Another USBM owner. Welcome aboard

 

Welcome fellow USB owner, I don't have an ISF but I love your color choice

 

Welcome to Club Lexus

 

what was your SN on driver? i used to post there a lot back in 2006 to 2010.

 

How are they going to fix the rear axle click?

Thanks SFP was my number one choice USB is 2nd. Yeah luckily, my front bumper was never drilled for plate. I just love how much cleaner the car looks without front plates or holes.

 

Exactly. I may try the plugs..... (TX sux wrt front plate law)

Here is what the non-Lexus tech and ext. warr. co. determined - need full axle-replacement (both sides), but they won't do it until lexus pwr train warranty expires. Tried to get it done at Lexus dealership, but they stated that axles were inspected and they are fine which is total BS. My warranty co. is decent, but they won't pay if you have factory warranty. If this avenue does not work for me, I will get them torqued and lubed and hope for the best. If that does not work out or proves to be a band aid, I will just turn up the Mark Levinson



I do remember that your SN looks familiar, that is if you used the same one over there which I believe you did. Sent you a PM.

Thanks!

Sweet. Love USB!

Thanks! Lots of USB shout outs!

It really POPS!

Hey thanks for the links! Yeah, I know what you mean. Great color choice!

Thanks!

Thanks!

USB ftw! Yeah, that bracket on my front-end picture was like that until my plates came in. Been running the front plate on the car for about 6 months. I will look into the plugs. Thx again!
