Hi Dirtywater,
Congrats on your car. I too just purchased an 09 IS250 Glacier Frost Mica and had my windows done at Sunshield Tint in Sherman Oaks. Just to let others know....I have used them for about 8 years now and they are great. They do all the dealers up and down Van Nuys Boulevard and have been in business in the same location for 26 years. In case others want the number it is 818-906-TINT and the owner is Hami and he and his crew are great to do business with.
My GFM is 20% all around. Dirtywater, were you able to get HID headlights?? I was not able to find any car here in SOCAL without special ordering it which I didnt want to do.
If I can ever figure out how to post pics here I would be more than happy to show my ride....

Well, to be honest I was not looking for HID's, but I didn't see any with them either. The only feature I would have wanted but didn't get were either the ML sound system or the memory seats. Still love the car though and I know it must be bad for you but I love new car smell.

Well I wanted to pay a couple hundred under $33K. Santa Monica agreed to do it but it was a bait and switch. Newport Beach lied about their inventory to me to get me down there after I asked three times on the phone to make sure I didn't drive from the Valley to Newport Beach for nothing. Well, I did.
In the end Longo agreed to my price and Jim Brown (internet dept.) was amazing to deal with.
Thanks again muzz for all your help.

Welcome!!!.....more and more 09's are popping up here...who says car sales are down?? Well at least not for Lexus..I'm surprised the other dealers didn't roll out the red carpet during these tough times. Lucky for Longo..they understood that.

Thanks everyone!
I got Obsidian/Black interior. The tint is 20% rear seats and rear winshield and 35% driver/passenger.
I have wanted an IS250 for a while and this was the right time to get rid of my old car. Couldn't be happier outside of having a 350.
I have the XM unit on the way from Sewell to install and then it's the VAIS unit for the iPod and I'll call it a day.
