Default New IS 350 F-SPORT

Just picked up my new F-SPORT....It was a tough choice between Smokey Granite and White. Anyone have the f-sport air intake installed..Any gain in performance?

Nice and Congratulations I think you made the right choice with White !! I think the white and contrasting darker wheels look much better than smokey granite and with the same colored wheels !!

The Brake upgrade is not a part of the f-sport package unfortunately...

Congrads and welcome to CL. The f-sport intake is 3-5hp increase not noticable. Its more sounds wise.

Nice F-Sport IS350! Hope to see more pictures.

For me, when it came to picking colors, I like dark metallic colors to hide the dirt plus the gray with gray look of the smokey granite mica. Black and white were my second and third choices. People must like the body and wheel color contrast though since the only two other 2011 F-Sport ISes on the street here I've ever seen were white.
