TEXTEKVBAL IS350 F Sport (Ultra White)
Just took delivery yesterday. Washed the car, removed the IS350 badging, treated the interior with 303 Aerospace Protectant, and Zaino Leather in a bottle. Looks Amazing. Dropped her off today at DFW Clear Bra in Carrolton, TX. Did a lot of research and this guy seemed to be the best, from my conversations with him he is borderline OCD which is exactly what i wanted.
I also replaced the interior lights with bulbs from precisionled.com. The kit they sent me doesnt match up with the bulbs on the new 2014. Actually every bulb on the 2014 is the same type so i am calling them to see how they will handle getting me new bulbs at no cost. Will keep you posted on their customer service and provide pics once i get the car back tomorrow evening.
Will also be replacing the lexus symbols with the black pearl version. Future plans to put RSR Downs, and either Niche Milan's or Vossen CV3's in 19's.

Update on precision led. Called in, explained that the lighting requiremnts had changed. He thanked me for the info and said he would send new bulbs out today! Excellent customer service and the LED's look great. I had read on one thread where they said they arent any brighter than stock. Trust me these are plenty bright unless you just want to be blinded inside the car.

Upgrades to this point with links to the places I purchased them:
Precision LED lighiting kit (if you order from there make sure they send you all the same bulbs for the f sport if you have a 2014)
http://www.precisionled.com/lexus-is...4-present.html
XPEL Paint Protection Film and Gloss black wrap on chrome trim around the grille, and windows. I get her back today so will post pics later.

RS-R Down Springs (ordered these yesterday) -Hope to get installed before the 4th.
http://www.redline360.com/rsr-loweri...s350-rwd-T195D
Right now I am waiting to see if what i am reading is true about remote start not working with 2014 IS models with nav. I am hoping this is not the case because my dealership is not going to like dealing with me very much if it is. One of the reasons is ordered this was for this functionality.

RSR Downs Installed Today
Had them installed today by Dorbritz Designs in Plano, Tx. Drew and his team were awesome, and their new facility is very nice. Will be heading back later this week to have them redo the gloss vinyl on the roof. If you are in the DFW area and are looking for a great place to do most anything to your car these guys are great to work with.
The pics don't do it justice, this is how the car should come stock for the F Sport. One thing I noticed though. The car no longer rides like stock, it is now way more responsive. I feel like I am back in my 335i coupe. Definitely got worse gas mileage on the way home!!
