Default Ultrasonic Blue/Black...finally(w/pics)!

Here's some pics of my freshly-delivered Blue/Black ISF. 18 miles on the ODO when delivered. So far my expectations have been exceeded. I have so much to learn compared to my non-nav '04 IS300 that I just returned. Bluetooth, Nav screen, POIs, voice dialing, backup camera, park assist, the list goes on...

I was a bit apprehensive on my color choice (I had an SBM '01 and really liked that color, and the USBM looked very, very similar in pics) having not seen one in person (cars & coffee is a bit early for me). Upon first sight my fears/hesitation vanished. This is one of those colors that just gets more attractive with each view. So far all of my friends, who had only really seen internet pics and vids, mentioned that the styling cues, while a bit suspect in online photos, were just plain gorgeous in person. I'd have to agree.

These pics were last-minute as I was just getting home from the dealership as the lighting got just right. If I can find the right setting/backdrop, I'll take better pics (i.e. lower ISO) later.

Enjoy!

P.S. The port-installed Ipod hookup works very well with the nav system.

Very nice, congratulations! You are right that the Ultrasonic Blue looks even better in person. I also like the look of the gunmetal in these pics.

Crazy, it looks like we have something in common

Has anyone tinted a Blue ISF yet? I'm thinking I'm going to have it done sometime this week, but I'm waffling on how dark to go....
