Thanks for the offer DSG!

The F is still at the shop. This makes 2 whole weeks that it has been there. But from what I saw so far, its looking incredible.

Thanks guys!

Update 7/27/2011


The car wouldn't crank this morning. After testing the alternator and battery, I found that it still had the OE battery from Lexus that was weak as hell. So, I was off to the auto parts store. Now she cranks better than ever,lol.

Such great story.. Car looks better than ever.. The previous owner should be banned from owning any type of performance car like the ''F"..

Best of Luck..

P.S... did you get the car at Treasure Coast Lexus? If you know a mechanic there I would appreciate his name so i can go some where locally instead of West Palm..

thanks Sir..

Yep. There is a mechanic at TCL that I trust. His name is Caesar. He will take care of you. Tell him Miguel with the IS-F sent you.

Damn man. You don't play around. Like previous people stated, previous owner shouldn't own a car like this again. Good job gettin on it and making it look better than ever. Let us know when those fog bulbs get in and post some more pics. I'm debating on getting those same bulbs.
