I just bought a 2008 IS 250 AWD in Glacier Frost with Navigation and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks! I'll get some pics up tonight. Umm I was thinking about dropping it and getting some aftermarket wheels. I got a quick question though. Would I have to unistall the body kit during the winter time?

to answer your questions you dont have to remove anything for winter. I woudl take off the aftermarket rims becuase of the salt but your all fine

I have Silver CF overlays for the 2IS if you are interested let me know. I am parting ways with my car. It looks like the ISF interior for reference.

anyone that wants these let me know. They are all ready to go!!! Last thing I have left from my car that needs to go to another local CL member

Mike is right, the OEM 10 spoke wheels must be cleaned at least twice a week. If not, the combination of brake dust and salt will ruin the wheels in less than a year. I was a fanatic at keeping them clean. I swapped out those wheels for MOMO's (easier to clean) and had the TSIB for the less dustier brake pads.
