Welcome!

Nice purchase!

Car looks very clean and tidy.

Good job on the new tires, saved you a fair bit of cash for mods! Lol.

What plans do you have for your F? Lots of great parts and tuners on here.

Enjoy!

Cheers.

Thank you. She has a bit, 68k when I got her. But I have all the records and she went through Lexus' pre owned inspections etc

Thanks man, this is my first black car, but I know its gonna be a headache keeping her clean. But when she is it's so worth it. This past weekend I ran out and bought all new products to keep her looking fresh

Thank you and yes I was very happy to get brand new tires and brake pads thrown in.


I have a lot of plans but I'm going to take it slow. Eventually I want to add:
'11+ headlights
Wald/Tom's/Arkham rear diffuser
Front lip (not sure which one yet)
Coilovers
Joe-Z intake elbow and Exhaust
Roof spoiler
Wheels later down the line....as im typing these out im realizing I want a lot of things haha. For now she gives me plenty of excitement despite being stock.

Welcome to the family!! One of the most amazing things about these cars... Are the guys on this forum who have such an enormous knowledge base and are so eager and willing to help.. It seriously takes ISF ownership to an entirely new level.

Congrats on the Obsidian beauty! Love that color after a good wash just hate that it only lasts a few hours clean lol. Good choice on picking a F you won't regret it.

Here are some pics

Nice choice. Probably the best all around sedan you can get. Not the best in terms of moddability but it is the jack of all trades IMO. Enjoy it in good health!

PS - look into getting Optimum No Rinse and California car duster. Works great on black cars.
