I currently have 8000k lows and fogs, but I'm now contemplating doing the fogs yellow too. What do you think?

Congrats on the new ride Sango! Do you have a lot of stuff in the trunk though? My car doesn't sit that low in the rear.

Thanks!! The trunk is empty. It may look like the rear is sitting low because of the slight ground angle and me also taking a picture aiming slightly downward. The rear does sit slightly higher than what it looks like in the picture.

Cool car! Maybe I'll spot you on the road one of these days.

Did you get rid of the other IS250 you had?

Sounds good Rasta. Are the PIAAs hid or halogen?

Yes, the dealership took back the car and now I have my new ride!

Chances are you may be able to spot me because I believe am the only IS250 F-Sport in USB because this region (Pacific Northwest) does not get them in this color unless special ordered. The dealership worked so hard to find this color which was apparently at their sister dealership which had it "hidden" from inventory search and they managed to find out about by searching deeper. They then called the sister dealership a few times and they finally responded and had the car traded and transported over to their dealership.

According the service history, the sister dealership had it for a few months and it was sitting on their lot all this time. Most likely no one bought it since customers over here didn’t want RWD, they wanted AWD. The GM speculates that the sister dealership might have had a change in management and before it happened, a manager who used to work there special ordered and reserved it (hidden from inventory) - since that manager is no longer there, the dealership didn’t know what to do with the vehicle.
