Default Hi, I'm new here... Some photos of my car

Hi guys my name is Yuri, I have purchased my 1st lexus (is350) I am loving this car more than anything that I have owed in the past. I have about 500miles on her, the dealer told me 1000 is brake-in.

I do have one question...



Is this normal? (bolts just sticking out)

Hi Yuri, welcome to CL. Yes those bolts sticking out are normal. No need to be alarmed. You have a beautiful looking home judging by your driveway and garage. Nice GX470 as well!

Yuri - Your photographs were most exquisite; great choice of color, congratulations and welcome aboard. Questions: Were they taken at sunrise or sunset? Also, inside your IS there is a hanging wire, what does it belong to?

Yuri,

Great pictures. Thank you for sharing them with us. White was my second choice. Ended up with black but it sure was a tough choice for me.

That looks like his V1 power adapter cord (i have the same detector). He has his v1 detector mounted high...possibly w/the visor clip.

Thanks everyone!!!

flipside909:: Thanks for the reply on the bolts...For the V1 I use the suction cups because the visor mount gets in the way of me using the visor but with the cups I can still use the visor. I'm trying to find an audio place that can hide the wire.

Scotty99:: You will love her, she is special

Chi-Town:: Thanks for the compliments on the photography, the photos were taken at sunset. The cord is to my V1.

Ninezero:: About half were taken with a flash, the camera is a Sony V1 point and shoot, 5pm...Its ok for what it is.

Aznevovii:: GX470 is a great suv, I like it a lot. It was the reason I started looking at Lexus as a potential future car.



Here is the color up close...



I also took the plunge into Zaino...I'm going to use this stuff twice a year, once before spring and once before winter...


Some DFtowels...Great stuff

Congratulations Yuri.

I am also waiting for my Crystal White to be delivered. I can not wait, I chose the Cashmere as in interior. I noticed that you are in NJ. Did you purchase your car in NJ? As I also wanted the park assist, but I am told by all dealer in NJ that the new cars are not arriving or are not build with Park Assist. Just wondering how you managed to get one?

Also, are you going to go with the clear bra, I am looking for some recommendation for this in NJ.

Beautiful car, enjoy it.

I called up all the places in North NJ / NY area who sell the lexus brand and raycatena of NY had the white one coming to them from japan and I quickly put money down on it...waited 2weeks and took delivery. I did not know what the car had till the 2nd week when they gave me the window sticker...So I ended up with White on black leather, luxury package, nav, parking assist. . .

I am not familiar with the clear bra, if you could give me some info on it I would appreciate it.
