sport/X package lowers the car by .5" you have to look real closely

There is another drawback, the X pkg is only available in Silver, Black or Granite - for Red, White, Blue, etc you have to settle for the Sport pkg . . .

I am interested to know if you can get the X-packages cheaper. For example, just getting X-package + navigation, that should cover everything I need and should be a lot cheaper than the current $43,000 they are charging for the standard packages they have here in 22181.

Looks awesome congrats!!!
Thank you for all the kind words guys! I am coming from Benz's world and it has been approximately 5 yrs since I drive any Lexus but I had an 01 GS430 that I bought in November 2000. It's nice to be back in the Lexus's family and not spending $650 per month on GAS!

The MSRP for my car is $42,787 and I bought it at $2K off MSRP. I am adding the rear spoiler, side skirts and the rear diffuser this Thursday to complete the package. Yes, the X-Package only available in 3 colors and only two options, one w/the rear spoiler and the other does NOT have it (my package). If you guys want to learn more about the different options/packages, go to Lexus.com and use the Build Your Lexus.

Yes, I will most likely change out the wheels soon, I am going 19" and probably will lower it a bit. Should I use H&R?

Wow I first thought it would look imbalanced with just the front lip. But the pictures have totally changed my mind. I think I might actually go for just a front lip, very clean IMO.

That's what I'm going to do, just the front air dam...

Just like I thought, those wheels look amazing! I think they are the best wheels for the IS, better than the G-Spider.

OP, nice car! Congrats on the new ride!

I personally don't like the rims on the x package so I would want the split rim on my car. I am a bit confused on the 07. I went to the site to build an 07 and there isn't a sports package options like the 06. Also I don't see ML on any of the trim levels. Does this mean I would have to special order to have Sports/ML in the new white color? I live in Northern California.

Sports + ML is a special order ANYWHERE in the USA, I believe...

Thanks. I believe what you want is a special order configuration. Good choice!
