Just bought a 2017 IS350 F Sport today, gray with red interior. It will replace my 2009 IS350.

 

Welcome stlgrym3!

I can smell the "new car smell" from here.

 

welcome to the 3IS club. Looks very nice!! Congrats

 

Which side do u guys place your front license plate holder on the front bumper? Driver side or passenger side? Or it doesn't really matter.

 

Neither, plate less!

It's technically illegal in CA.. but a lot of people in my area.. Bay Area, CA, run their cars without a front. I mean cops don't realllllllyyyyyy care, unless you get pulled over for some other sht; they gonna give ticket you for not having a front plate as well.

I ran no front for over a year, none happen yet. *knock on wood*

 

Congrats on the new car! Same color combo I went with on my 350.

 

Congrats! No front plate is illegal here in Texas too but I don't like a front plate. I bought a tow hook license plate mount though just in case I ever want to mount it.....no holes are going in my bumper lol.

 

Congrats! Hope you enjoy it! I love the refreshed front end and interior updates.

 

congrats... had a good experience with longo on mine too!

 

love that red, congrats!

 

Looks gorgeous !!!!

Does your new IS350 feel more powerful than the your 2009 or relatively the same if I may kindly ask !??! Congratulations !!!

 

thank you. it's the same engine so it should feel the same, however the new car seems slower off the line, some said it's due to the 8 speed auto compare to previous gen's 6 speed.

 

Good afternoon stlgrym3! Beautiful IS!. I've been looking at purchasing the exact same model IS color and interior package as you. i was looking at the same dealer that you got yours from. is it cool if i message you in regards to the pricing you got?
