Congrats bayarea3is! Great color choice. I myself have an obsidian 2014 IS 350 F-Sport. Nothing like a nice shiny black car

Hi

I just wanted to let you know since you like my recommendation for your tint that I have a really good recommendation for a detailer. Joe at Superior Shine. Had a preventive maintenance detail last week and my car looks unreal. His website is Superiorshine.com. I am having him come back to apply 22ple coating to my car. He came highly recommended

Here is a pic he took of my car when he finished polishing it. That's him in the shot. Really nice guy. Knows his stuff!!!

Wow! So shiny! Thanks for the recommendation Debbie, I'll look into it. Could you PM me more info on your experience if you don't mind (price, their customer service, wait time, etc.)?

Thanks

Great! Sounds like yours must have arrived at the port a lot earlier than mine.

Mine arrived at the port this week, so a few days there to clear the inspections, plus another week or so to cross Canada, my dealer will get it in a couple weeks still.

Definitely post pics!

I've been posting and replying here for a few weeks but never introduced myself! I'm new to Lexus. I joined the forum last month when I was contemplating the 3IS and I ended up buying one a few days ago:

IS 250 / Starfire Pearl / Parchment Interior / non F-Sport / Fresh off the boat, fresh from the port, only 5 miles on the car when I got it.

Since the launch of the 3IS I have only seen ONE Nebula Gray F-Sport on the road. I haven't seen any 3IS since I bought mine. I love the fact that I don't see this car anywhere on the road (yet). Every time someone with a 2IS sees the car, they do a double-take. You all know what a stock Starfire Pearl 3IS looks like...so I will post pics next Saturday after my tint and OptiCoat are done.
