Hey guys,

Nice, welcome to the F'amily! Is that a Neiman Marcus edition?

Beautiful! What number did you end up picking up? It'll say a special build number between the shifter and cup holder. Black will always be my color of choice, but it is a pain to constantly maintain. But as you can see, when it's detailed, it looks stunning. Enjoy it in good health!

Thanks everyone! It is in fact the neiman Marcus edition, how could ya tell? I believe I have number 11 of 50!

I have to agree, the black paint is really tough to maintain, but I don't think any other color looks better when waxed!

The wheels gave it away, they have a hand polished finish unique to the neiman marcus edition. The canadian IS-F's may also have the polished wheels IIRC.

The white stitching, white leather on the steering wheel, and the "F" embossed on the headrests are also unique to the Neiman Marcus edition.

There is something so classy / aggressive about a F in all black.. Just menacing! Congrats! As a recent buyer myself, you are going to be blown away by how amazing all the guys on this forum are.. It's a great family, welcome to the club.

Congratulations on the new ride! Black is amazing when clean.. Good luck on the upkeep

Looks like your front wheels are on the wrong side though. The wheels you have are corner specific.
