What types of leasing deals they are currently offering for 2016? Did they have any leftover 15' on the lot?
The exhaust tips are from GSF in 2016. Also, the both brake and throttle pedals are different.

Awesome pictures. Those "base" wheels look awesome especially with the orange callipers. I would just put some spacers and call it a day as far as exterior goes.

I have a 16 white red interior mine are black calipers (it has the ml system so chose that one) my neighbor has a blue gsf with orange and they are hard to keep clean in happy with black even though the orange does pop! Congrats on the car enjoy!! Be prepared for many double takes!

The door courtesy lights also changed to LEDs for 2016.

Speaking of hard to keep clean... Wait til the brake dust take over your wheels. Mine is gunmetal right now

Oh yeah!! Congrats!! If you like the growl of the stock exhaust, just wait until you add an aftermarket exhaust.. The hype right now is the Borla system..

No no no... I can't start doing stuff to this one, I already got another toy (300zx Twin Turbo) and my wallet will sue me if I start spending on aftermarket stuff for this one too lol But there's always later on

Btw, I noticed that when I put it on Sport S and Sport S+ there is a huge difference on the noise of the engine, in normal I barely notice the growl or anything but once I switch the engine noise comes alive! Is this just in the cabin or is the exhaust itself really louder when in Sport mode? Does it open up or something?

Yes! Wash them every week! And it bakes itself to the calipers!

Let's see who is adventurous enough to swap the GSF nav screen to Rcf. Might be a simple part change

Wait a few months for the 2017 3IS to come out, the big screen from that one will probably fit a lot easier since the interior is almost the same... I can almost see it as a plug and play thing for the RC

Nice!!!

I have an ultra white also, but no orange calipers. 😟

Also, only the blue and the white had the triple LED headlights, not even the one with the carbon package had them... which is one thing I absolutely wanted, those lights are so nice

I almost went for the Blue with red interior but it just looks so nice with the white and the orange calipers and you can appreciate details a lot better on the white. Plus I want to do a couple of black accents, like the roof, and I think it will look amazing
