Nice choice! I don't see a lot of 2011 IS350 F-Sports in black.

It was 2.5 hours away and IS350's are hard to find in Alabama. Most of them are in the Atlanta area. I found it north of Nashvile.

No mods yet. First thing I will do is have the car professionally detailed to remove the swirl marks. Anyone know how much this should cost so I don't get ripped off? The interior is flawless but the paint needs a little work. I may do something later like f-sport exhaust.

Well congrats again! I've been searching for one and they're about 5-7 hours away

The starting price is usually $300 for the exterior only. (Well that's what I charge)

Detail shop close to me charges $325 for full paint job. That includes everything you can imagine. Thanks for the input.

Headlights is one of my favorite features on the car. I like the wheels but may want to get black wheels down the road. The car was dirty when i picked it up and after i washed it the wheels looked about the same. I mean clean or dirty you really cant tell a difference unless your right up on them.

No problem, keep in mind you get what you pay for in the end.

Here's mine after a detail: (scroll down in the thread)

The ride height actually looks perfect on your car!

I remember seeing you post this a while back, I need you to do my car!!! Unbelievable shine and no swirl marks!!! Awesome job!!!

From what i have read the F-Sport model comes with a slight drop from the factory. I had H&R springs on my last car. I agree the clearance looks good for me and the ride quality is very smooth.
