Thank you for the kind words guys! I am enjoying every moment driving these last couple of days. I just dropped her off at the dealer this afternoon to get tinted and clear bra'ed. I went with darkest possible tint that was legal. I think it was 15% all around except for driver and passenger side which are 35%. They said it might all be done by tomorrow. Can't wait to get her back!

Obsidian w/ Cabernet is a hot combo! I would have done that myself, but I just don't want the upkeep that comes with black. Looking good. Enjoy!

Thank you!. I think the tint will really finish and compliment the Obsidian well. I will definitely get some good pictures up when she comes back from the dealer.

Ditto. Looks great but a little more high maintenance to keep the look vs. dirt. But very tempting!

Update: OK so I was able to pick her up from the dealership this afternoon. Boy, was it nice to get back into the F-Sport after riding around in the ES loaner for a couple of days. What a difference in feel and overall driving enjoyment. I got her tinted 15% all around except for the two front windows which are 35%. I also got clear bra which covered front bumper, fenders, and side mirrors. The car already came with clear protection with Lexus logo on the rear bumper when I bought her which I thought was nice. I'm usually pretty careful but it will help with those accidental luggage or golf bag scrapes across the top of the rear bumper. I thought the dealer did a pretty decent job on both the tint and clear bra job. You have to look really hard to even see the clear bra outline. Clear bra also has a really shiney looking clear coat to it that matches the original paint well. Here are some preview pics with my crappy iPhone. I will try to clean her up a little bit more this weekend and take some high resolution pics. ~Tu

Great job - makes me consider getting tints as well for mine. Looking forward to seeing you guys and all your upcoming mods. I'm going to be a bit of a follower, so looking forward to all the good ideas!

Congrats!

I love this community - there are like 5 of us who are just posting on each others threads - and we've all either ordered or gotten delivery in the past week.

Thank you. My last car was and Audi TT which was highly modified. I don't think I will ever go back to German any more. I too will be more of a follower as well with this car. I think the car is extremely nice as it already is. It's just a matter of time that I hit that slippery slope again
