Excellent! That's the color combo I would have gotten too! Love the stock C rims! Congrats.

thank you all for the compliments, I am in love with the car. And yes, I got the is250c because it was..well..cheaper I am coming from a 08 g37s coupe, 02 clk55 amg, 02 mustang gt vert, and 98 z28 camaro so I've had enough speed in my life After the test drive I realized I didn't need the 350 although the 350 was much faster. My insurance is $1500 a year for the car 100/300 limits so I'll take it I plan on getting a cdc light bar & dropping it on some wheels. I just don't think the f-sport drop is enough, do you guys think anything lower then the 1inch fsport drops will create a non-lexus ride?

Nice! I have a 350C in USB, but I went with black interior.

all i can say from my experience is that riding on AIR feels better than stock. others dropped on f-sports can chime in.

Love the color!!. I currently have the F sport 1" drop around and its practical. Sure its not low, but it does its job great. Does lower the car more, you get less body roll, and you dont really ahve to worry about rubbing. I have ~ 1 finger gap in the front and side, but i guss the drop varies becuase people say they get 1-2 finger gap witht he springs. Personally if you want your car to have a tire tucked look, go with coils...

Unfortunately not. It would have been my first pick if available on the 4-door.

lol... Matador red wasnt even one of my choices at the time I was shopping for my car ... I went looking for starfire pearl, or sgm, but soon as I saw the MRM on black I fell in love ...

All my friends think im crazy for getting a red car ... ... but i disagree
