Weird behavior while waiting for the car to arrive?!
Weird behavior while waiting for the car to arrive?!
Waiting for my GS to arrive and I've ordered the VAIS iPod adapter, gotten everything ready to do the BT mod (new portable soldering gun), been searching for the perfect switch for the navi mod (if I can't find one I'm not going to do it, and really don't want to pay $100 for the suspension button), printed out the low-dust brake pad TSIB and given it to my salesperson, and am getting ready to order wheels/tires and it's only been 4 days since I ordered the car?! Keep in mind that I've already negotiated window tint and clear bra install at the dealership as well!
What did you guys do when you were waiting for yours? Any strange behaviors?
P.S. Am I the only weirdo who loves the stock 18" 5-spoke rims??? Since mine's AWD, that's not an option so when the car arrives it'll have the 10-spoke 17"s. I'm in the process of buying a set of the stock 18"s though!!! Haven't seen any aftermarket 18"s that wow me yet... And I refuse to go bigger due to winter.
*UPDATE*
More on the way:
18" 5-spoke OEM rims/tires
navigation screen protector
Lexus Japan GS Console Tray
Nokya highbeam bulbs
Nokya yellow foglight bulbs
5-LED parking light bulbs
9-LED trunk bulb

There are a few of us here...
I can't wait to get my set on. Looking at some Bridgestone RE960AS (hope I got all the #s right). Nice reviews plus a $75 rebate in the form of an Amex gift card if purchased by the end of this month.

I think that feeling is acceptable. When I bought mine in Dec, I waited about 3 weeks and it seems long, stopped by the dealer a couple times even though I know the car is not coming. When they told me she's coming that night, I stopped by the dealer early morning on the way to work and there she is, still in the plastic wrap. Felt real good.
I'm in NE as well. What dealer did you order from? Lexus of Lincoln or Lexus of Omaha? They are the same, though.
Good luck while waiting and keep in mind that 3/4 of our life is waiting.

Yang1815, Before you put the NAV switch in consider this. If you use the "NAV switch" mod your NAV screen will be junpy, not smooth.
Go see this method of Enabling the NAV System Features When Driving. It reqires NO wire cutting.

Thanks for the link, I've read that before and decided not to do it because:
1) no access to 5.1 DVD
2) I'm on a Mac and don't have a DL DVD writer
3) don't want to do this every time I update the DVD
As far as the switch goes, I understand that when it's off, the NAV screen will be jumpy and not smooth; however, I really don't think I'm going to install the switch simply because I can't find a switch that I like. The suspension button not only is expensive, but also doesn't make any sense in terms of function to override the navi.
I think I can live with not being able to input address while in-motion
Thank you though!

Don't you 'Huskers have anything better to do during the football offseason than sit around waiting for your Lexus to come in and watching the corn grow . . .
Are you boys ready for my Trojans when they invade Lincoln on Sept 15 ??? Should be a great game. Can't think of a better early season matchup of traditional powerhouse football programs . . .

I absolutely love the Huskers and admire the Trojans; my heart also belongs to the Wolverines as well! Yes, I know, I'm a ho
Can't wait for college football to start!!! NFL is just too... good! It's like playing a video game almost!
Hey and at least we get to sit around waiting for our Lexus' while others just sit around and watch corn grow haha!

I ALSO LIKE THE STOCK 5 SPOKE 18'S...WOULD LOVE TO TRADE MY 17 AND CASH FOR A SET OF 18'S FOR THE LONG TRIPS...
why only long trips?
get them anyway!
it'd be hard to find a trade I think.
how about the g-spyder or tourmaline?
I like the ISP Mode for the IS as well.
Would I get flamed if I put the ISP Mode wheels on the GS since they're optional for the IS???
