I thought others were able to pop them out. Could you post a link for that?

Thank you.

Congratulations on your car, Sony!
I recently got a Lexus IS350 F Sport also! (Same year as yours.)
Except I have the black interior. I'm enjoying it so far, already have 180+ miles on it and got it on the 5th of January.
I hope you're enjoying your ride man!

Congratz and welcome to the forum! Looking forward to driving it once I get it from the dealer. They've had the car now for 3 days and are still installing my LED Fog Lights.

Ok. I picked up my car today from the dealer with LED Fog Lights and had my winter tires put on. Tire place had to use 4 individual floor jacks to change my tire because they said they couldn't use their hoist with my car. Also below is picture of smart card key which I can keep in my wallet and not carry the key fob around. Lastly picture of next owner of my car! My drive home from the dealer was absolute joy. Car felt so good (even better than the GS loaner!!!) and I was averaging 27.3MPG!

Sorry for the crappy photos from my iPhone.

Those fogs look boss and worth the wait. The Rioja interior is dakine Bro. I'm a tech specialist so what type of phone are you pairing? There are a lot of setup options to enjoy. My favorite attribute is the sound of the engine when it goes through all 8 gears like a motorcycle. Be a little conservative until the snow melts.

I have iPhone 5 and I just paired it tonight. Haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet but I want get the text/email messages to show up on the car.

Because it's so cold Christmas decoration lights will not come down until spring time. I don't mind at all.

In your iPhone5 go back to your Bluetooth and click the little Blue "i" and switch "Show Notifications" to "ON". With iPhones you can only receive Text Messages and Cannot send them out (despite there being a Reply button sometimes). This is because Apple iOS does not support MAPS.

I thought the iPhone did support MAPS otherwise you wouldn't receive the incoming text, which I do via my 5? I must admit I've never seen a reply option, and I definitely have never received an e mail into the car, despite receiving plenty into the phone whilst driving.

Just take your time and tell yourself your not breaking anything as it takes a lot of pressure to unsnap the mirror.
