Awesome man! So would you recommend the F-Sport exhaust/intake/sway bars as preliminary purchases for my IS250C?

Welcome. We picked up an 11 IS350C on 3/31/11. It's Matador Red w/Alabaster interior (like on the brochure). While it's still new, paint your rotor's black and put the Lexus decal on it. It adds a nice finishing touch!
There are plenty of DIY instructions on here and also in the MyIS forum. Here's a pic of ours.

Front dome uses 2 194 wedge bulb.
Door courtesy uses 194 flank bulb
Side view mirror puddle uses 194 flank bulb
Vanity mirror uses the really skinny 29mm festoon bulb

Awesome car! When I get my 350 C I'm going to have all the F Sport accessories available put on. Looking at yours is making me cringe about my wait time.

Thanks Jonny! I appreciate the information! Do you know what type the trunk bulb is? Also, what's a good vendor to get these from? I noticed a lot of people of CL get V-LEDs.

Yeah, that's exciting! I should have put all the accessories on before I picked up the car to save me on labor fees and all that. Now either I do it myself or hope to find someone who doesn't charge a lot for installation. You must take some pictures of your new ride when you get it and post!

That does look pretty snazzy! I would love to do something like that! I wish I had a lift instead of using jacks for wheel removals... haha

I was also going to ask you if removing the door panels involves the same approach as the IS250/350? I am looking to install those nice LS illuminated door lock ***** and don't want to break any of those clips.

Nice pics man! I was going to ask you...does that Windscreen make a huge difference? I heard it was kind of "cheap" and didn't do much, but that's what the dealership told me. I don't really use the backseat so it wouldn't be in the way...I just don't know if its worth the $500+ price tag.
