Thank you! 
Gotcha! Thank you!
Oh I didn't know that! And here I thought my car was fully loaded haha~
Thank you! Yeah I'm definitely down for C&C!
Haha good thing I don't have a wife yet. :P
I will keep the stock parts for the same exact reason you're telling me! I'm doing research right now on what kind of tint would be best and so far 3M Crystalline 35% seem to be on top. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you!
Thank you! It is a huge upgrade haha, going from a 4 cylinder to a V8.
Thank you! One of the first mod is going to get it tinted!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Yeah I have lots of plans. I'm going to start with the basics first such as window tints, wrap the top glossy black, and possibly CF wald diffuser & spoiler!
Thank you! Congrats!

Yes, you're actually the REAL MVP here. I forgot to give you credit. Thank you sir!

Congrats! Welcome to the F'amily
To get the F logo you have to be in manual mode. If it's not showing up cycle through the display options with the DISP button on the steering wheel. Also, the bumps under the headlights are headlight washers, it was an option so not all F's have them

Couple of quick helpful hints/answers to your questions. The bumps under the headlamps are covers for the pop-up headlight washers. This was an option so that box may not have been checked for yours. It also does not appear that you have park assist. Sensors on the front and rear that alert you when you are close to an object. No biggie. To get the F logo on the screen the car has to be switched into manual mode. Easy - just move shifter to left when in drive and use the paddles for gear changes. Using manual and putting car in sport mode really does change the feel of it. Enjoy in good health!
First of all, CONGRATS! You have acquired one of the coolest, fastest, most reliable and literally most unknown to most people vehicle.
Perfect color for Arizona. My ex boss is from there and loved my IS-F.
Sounds like you did your homework and were patient, which paid off. I can tell the other owner took good care of the car.
I would recommend KEEPING ALL THE STOCK PARTS (most of them are very pric$y and buying them again will be costly) until you decide what you want to do, if anything. Most of the intakes don't make power with this car, the veterans here will vouch for the stock airbox with Joe-Z or HPS intake and a drop in air filter (aFe, Tom's). The Takeda is a good choice, but the dyno numbers speak for themselves.
Get those windows tinted!!!
I recommend Redline 5W-30 and the factory insert filter. (9.8 qrtz)
If you need help with electronic counter measures, please shoot me a PM, keep the Arizona DPS away.

Congrats on the purchase! You will be very pleased with its capabilities as both a sedan and performance vehicle. As 2URGSE mentioned, keep those stock parts. I've been seeing some owners who once had sold stock parts as they upgraded to aftermarket, only to need those same stock ones for whatever reason (smog, return to lease, selling vehicle, etc.). And of course, while not the most expensive, they are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. And yes, AZ heat is brutal from my visit there, so definitely some nice dark, heat rejection tint.
May you enjoy your F to the fullest!
