Default 2008 IS350 Twins

Hi guys....
My garage now has two 08 IS350s! I'll post nicer pics in the near future. BTW... I purchased again at JM Lexus through Cindy (internet sales). By far, JM has been the most pleasant car buying experience compared to the many other dealers that we've bought from. Cindy was great and I highly recommend her. She is on the ball and straight to the point.

My Lexus twins... 08 IS350 Sapphire Sport and 08 IS350 Breakwater Luxury.

You guys must love the IS350 a lot! Is the new one going to get the same mods as well?

My husband loved the IS as do I, so he took the sapphire and purchased me a new breakwater. We'll mod the breakwater, but not to the extent of the sapphire. One is "sport" while the other is "luxury". As for the RX, it was traded in.

The difference between the two suspensions...> the luxury is ever so slightly softer but one really can't tell between the two. Once the breakwater is broken in, I'll try the two in turns and get back to you guys.
