Default Finally pulled the trigger

I've been debating for several weeks whether I want to go with a hybrid or not. Since my wife starts to drive a lot for her work, it doesn't make sense for us to keep the GX even though we loved having the cargo space. But I'm happy with my decision.

We got 2012 Nebula Grey Pearl. F Sport with navigation, Premium Audio Package, and illuminated door sills. Here's a quick pic I took after I got home. I need a bigger garage now.

Thanks. Here're a few more pics.



All the dome lights switched to LEDs.




I'll get to the HID kit probably this weekend. Philips 6000K kit will be ideal.

6000K looks too blue...
4300K looks like stock HID with similar brightness.

Are the illuminated door sills the same for both the F-Sport and the regular CT?

I love it too much to let it go.

FSport only comes with aluminum door sills. Illuminated ones are sold as an option and I believe it's only for the front.

Thanks Terrence. I thought your sills looked different from the optioned ones installed on my car. Your cars look great.

Congratulations on getting the CT. It's awesome that you also own an IS F...

You got the color I was trying for but we ended up with the Tungsten silver F-sport instead.

I see your modding the car already too!

Love my s2000 as well....

Congrats! I think I would do the same and skip the FSport model too.

Damn it, another reason to buy, another ISF owner getting one. I've been contemplating for months now and I almost gave in after the test drove, but didn't. I keep telling myself a better model will be coming soon with a little more power and even better fuel economy....
