Default NEWB with some questions.

Hey, I am thinking of getting an IS350. I think I'm wanting to find an 06 with lower miles. Can anyone tell me what changes they made from 06-08? I want white and as far as I know the 06 is the only year they made white without the blue pearl. I'm not big on white with blue pearl.


Also,
can anyone tell me who makes the lips on this car? And also the rear spoiler?

06->07:
added shark fin for XM
added ability to "really" turn off TC/VSC with button on dash
added HIDs as a standalone option (on 06 they only come with sport or lux package)
added X package as an option

07->08:
wheels changed to liquid graphite color
illuminated door sills changed to white
Improved steering feel
improved rear legroom due to seatback change
coinholder added to dash

that's it off the top of my head, probably forgetting something

The 2006 is the only year with "Crystal White", the other model years have "Starfire Pearl" which is a brighter white. The blue pearl is called "Glacier Frost Mica" which is also available in 2006, I think it's discontinued in Canada though. Check out the Color Thread. The pictures you posted is crystal white btw.

Here's a comparison between Starfire Pearl and Crystal White.

Not much of a difference. Nobody is ever going to pay that much attention to tell the difference.


For the kit, as the members said, It's the Vertex Digna bodykit, with molded (custom) Wald trunk spoiler. Check out the Bodykit Thread.

The 2006 gas & trunk buttons are different as I remember, no back-lit buttons on them. Not too sure though.

I work with a guy who has one and he claims its Starfire Pearl but it must be the Glacier Frost Mica. I'll tell him to get his vin and we'll call it in and find out what it is.

As far as interior they have black, gray and tan. Correct?
