Foothill Ranch Auto Spa, on the corner of Alton & Portola, just north of the 241.

As for self-cleaning locations, the only one I know of in the general area is (or was -- I haven't been down that way in at least a year, maybe more) in Costa Mesa, south of the 405, near the intersection of Bristol St. & Newport Blvd.

here are those pics that I promised earlier...







What do you think? Blue Onyx Pearl is the most dynamic of all IS colors

I just noticed that these pics are kinda smallish... if you want bigger, I can definately upload them

Yes Blue Onyx Very good. Still waiting on mine. Looks good even with the front license plate frame.

I have blue onyx and it is tough to keep clean.....I feel like when I get home from getting it washed (I pay to get it washed not because I am lazy but because I live on a college campus and dont have the ability to do it myself) by the time I get home there is already dust all over it.....I do not regret it though...it just requires more work and it def pays off...on a different yet somewhat related note....

I let my friend drive my car....I have noticed when he gets into his car he always has his keys in his hand while he opens the door (the same hand he grabs the handle with)......and I noticed later that his key scrated my door handle....any suggestions how I can repair or hide the scratch???? It could also be from a ring on my gf's finger but I dont think so.....any suggestions?

yup, that is the exact same self cleaning place I saw, way over in Costa Mesa. It's however in a very busy area, and is kinda a pita to have to go all that way just to clean. Owell. The price for living in the OC.

On a side note, I was talking to the dealer, and the sales manager told me that ALL new IS350's will come w/ the spoiler...is this true or is he talking out of his a**?
