I love this shot, your tails look different did you smoke them?
The IS-F red is the understated color, my wife wanted this color for our CT200h but I swayed her into another one and now regret it. We have way too many white and silver cars, this red would have been nice!

Awesome looking car. I have never been a fan of red cars but this has seemed to grow on me. I would actually consider it... I think I am looking for a blue though will see how it goes. Beautiful car though!

Congrats, looks like they did a good job on the repair. I kind of regret not getting a IS-F, I still want one. I opted for a is350 fully loaded for 4-5k less than what I've would've paid for the white isf I was looking at. And I agree that the isf looks beautiful in any color.

Congrats on your F. That color was my 2nd choice. I almost bought a red F, but pulled trigger on my USB. Both colors really pop.
So glad I went the F route vs a new IS f- sport.
Btw, the repair looks 1st class- paint looks bad ***, panel gaps are tight, even and oem looking. It gives a nice perspective of the beauty of a job very well done!
Given the outside excellence, I'm sure the sub-surface repairs were done equally well (which u had verified professionally!)
Congrats again!
Here is my F that I've had for almost a year:

I changed out my Rotors and Pads last night. Whole thing took about 2.5 hours using basic tools and the scissor jack to get each wheel off. My OEM rotors were worn down and had grooves. Pads were worn down as well so I decided to do all 4 corners while I was in the zone. I went with Raysbestos Performance Rotors from Amazon with free 2 day shipping. I also went with Autozone Duralast Gold pads. I read a couple good reviews on them and they were only 80 for the whole set with their monthly online discount.
After an install and cleaning of the calipers, I went and bedded them in going 60-10mph about 6 times and then a cool down and repeat.
The pads bite the same and have less dust as I can tell. I recommend both. Thank you to the DIY threads and one youtube video on replacing them.
Total time-2.5 hrs
Total cost- ~$400

Your pads have the wear indication tab on the outside pad in the pictures. Normally, this goes on the inside for two reasons, first because it is common for the inside pad to wear faster, second, it is not visible. The factory service manual says specifically to put it on the inside.
FWIW, my rear brakes are still in great shape despite track use with track pads and almost 100k miles on the odometer.
