I just got a brand new 08 ISF for $48,680 (plus TT&L - thanks to lexus's $5k rebate) with ML/Navi package, park sensors, all-weather mats in white on black combo from new jersey, but I'm in New Hyde Park/Long Island. Anyone know of good shops here for modifications, tints, and ventureshield protection? I visited two places on ventureshield's website of installers, but both were in the ghetto. Neither one had any idea what an ISF was, but quoted me $600 for it

I'm ready to ride, car or bike, so far I've only seen one blue ISF rolling around here and a couple of bikers on the highway, but I guess I'll post on a biker's forum to find more of them!

I love it, regular people don't gawk at me. It's a great half-*** sleeper. So far I can only complain about the ride when hitting potholes, it scares the crap out of me and hurts a little. But then again, hitting a pothole on a motorcycle and crushing your nuts hurt worse!

Btw, people sent pm's about the price and availability of the ISF, so I'll just post what I found over the past month.

1. The $5k rebate is for 2008 ISF's invoice until the end of this month. You can find all current rebates on edmunds.com on the top bar of the new car section.

2. Availability: Prestige lexus of NJ had a red and silver left, both under $49k, I paid $48,680. PM if you need number of my sales guy, tell him you'll pay less than me! (aren't they paying for it being there anyways?) There are 2 blue's on long island, one at Ralle and Massepequa lexus, both were $48,900. Hoffman Connecticut had a white one for $49,000. Sewell Dallas had 2 silvers, one was demo without sunroof for $47+k and another one for $48+k but without the navigation package.

Good luck, I'll post pics by this weekend!

I have to say, I'm marveling at an ICU nurse riding a bike in a t-shirt. Not at all what I would expect from someone who gets to see the aftermath of falling off a bike unprotected.
