Thanks everyone! I'm definitely enjoying the car so far and so far it seems like I made the best decision, night and day difference with the driving experience in the F than the S that I had, it makes me want to go places that I don't even want to go just to go out and drive LOL. The best part is, I have the peace of mind knowing that this car is much more reliable than my last! And to Sello, I wish! Hah I worked hard to earn everything I have. It's actually the other way around, I'm still living with my parents because I HAVE to take care of THEM since they're both unemployed and pay for everything in the house along with taking care of my wife and daughter also. Anyways back on topic, Just got my Takeda Intake and Meisterschaft Axleback installed couple days ago! Sounds much meaner! Anyone here have the full system with midpipe? Was there any noticeable increase in sound/performance with the midpipe?

Good for you bro. Im in Socal to so pm me if you ever want to get together and roll out. Maybe we can share some advice on mods since i just got mine last month as well. I did ppe headers, brembo front brakes, BC coilovers, Complete LED inside and out (did a lot of research I know every buib you need), just got windws tinted and let me tell you out of the 17 or so cars Ive owned I think I finally got the best tint and color right to my highest expectation. Now just looking for the right exhaust. How is you axle back quality and sound? Anyways PM me maybe we can get a small ISF crew together to make new friends and share some ideas.

Congrats on the F! I bought my F when I was young, and the best advice I can offer is to act accordingly. There will always be those who want to see what the F is capable of, those that think the parentals may or may not have a hand in helping you get your ride, and those who simply put it down because "it's just a Lexus." Act the part. There's no need to prove anything because you own a powerful car. There's no need to prove to anyone that you're just 20 and partake in childish behavior like burnouts in a parking lot or racing other folk on the streets. I say this because I had friends whose parents gave them 335s and E-class rides in high school, and they are no longer with us because their immature boyfriends thought they could handle the power and show off at the same time (high speed recklessness). And for those that think it's just a Lexus- just be glad you don't need to have a constant relationship with a service advisor or technician because those that say such typically do, as evident with why you switched. Lexus may not be the benchmark in performance sedans, but it does produce some reliable, luxirous, and all around great cars, and the IS F is no exception.
Enjoy your F, and do realize that the car has class. Show it, and no one will care that you're 20.

Where did you find your Meisterschaft exhaust ? And if you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living? Hats off for taking care of so many people in your family ....and of course yourself with an awesome sedan

I have a SGM and was skeptical of Lexus going with a lighter color. I am now extremely jealous of this color so much easier to maintain. Welcome and enjoy, I suggest a V1 as your first mod with a blend mount.
