I just this in the mail. It's only been a week and the mod bug has already bitten me!
Just want ant to say thanks again for everyone's help. There's so much information it gets a little hard to sort through but this community has been great.
Thank you for welcoming me. I'm exited about bebig an ISF owner.

Looks good with the gray IMO, of course I have the NGP which is a bit different shade.
I see you picked up the aFe dry filter, good choice. Are you going HPS or Joe-Z intake?
Nice clean ISF.
If you're in the Bay Area, Lexura in Dublin does good work. Allen is a big fan of the ISF.

So just an update. Coming in to almost a year with the IS-F and now at around 70.5k on my mileage (12,000 miles later). It's been a great car so far. Took it to San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, and San Diego from Simi Valley and got some decent gas mileage on a 5.0 V8 (around 25-26). Not a lot of spirited driving but did get to hammer it now and then on the freeway when it was empty. I even got compliments from random people that actually know what the car is (my car is stock so it really flies below the radar).
So far I've had 3 oil changes, a replacement of a water pump, auto trans flush and fill, spark plug replacement, and the TSB air bag replacement. I know in the next few months i'll need to start looking for rear tires as well.
There are some annoyances though like dash rattles, moonroof rattles, speaker rattles ( i know my trunk driver side speaker is buzzing, its not the sub), rear / trunk (?) squeaking, plus the front passenger side caliper paint is chipping off. But these negatives are very minor. Been reading about horror stories on valley plate leaks and exhaust manifolds cracking and have been checking my coolant levels and unusual ticking...stuff you read has me so paranoid now, lol,
Overall the experience has been good. It's a great improvement from my 08' G37S coupe in almost every aspect. Just wanted to share my 1 year of ownership experience so far. This forum is great and it made getting the IS-F easier.

My head is not into modding the car as of yet (I'm sure the mod bug will hit me though). I'm more concerned about my coolant levels and praying I don't have the valley plate leak.
