Hey all,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought an 07 black/black IS350X (X-Package) w/ nav. I got the tint done on it today and the car is AMAZING. Got it with 4 miles on the car, and I still am breaking it in. Haven't taken over 4K RPM yet. I can't stop going out just to look at it. I will be taking some pictures today and I'll try to get them up ASAP. I got the car for a steal too paying only 1500 over invoice.

I am curious to know who all out there has already put mods on their IS. I saw a guy here in Scottsdale who had intake and exhaust and he said he paid 1500 for it installed. It sounded great and he said you could really feel the extra power. Anyone else out there done any mods yet? If so, what? And how do you like it? Well I look forward to learning more about the car from those who have had one for a while and sharing stories. =)

PS: Anyone have a connection on getting the Lexus car cover for it?

 

WELCOME!! and congrats on your new car.
Can"t wait to see some pics!

 

Thanks Shine! I'm working on those pics now.. if not tonight, they will definitely be up tomorrow =)

 

Hey! Another Arizonan. Welcome

 

Congrats on the new ride. Where did you get your tint done? I've been looking for a good tinter in AZ that has done the 2IS before.

 

The AZ Lexus dealer I got my car from did it for me. I think it looks pretty good, considering it took forever.

 

which dealer? i'm taking my car back for the 3rd time to redo my tints

 

I got my tint done at Lexus of Chandler. Gentleman by the name of Tom Oliver handled it. They got it done for me in 3 hours. They also gave me a loaner car for free and free gas during that time. The tint has a lifetime guaruntee on it, so if it ever bubbles or peels or anything, they will fix it for free. I was treated great and thus far the tint looks spectacular. I'll try to get some night pics tonight, and definitely some day pics tomorrow. I'll get them up as soon as possible.

Isn't gas always free in a loaner???

 

Bought my IS350 at Chandler Lexus as well. They pushed the window tint on me in finance but like all dealers I thought they were high. $299/599 for nano-tint (whatever that is). Found a bunch of other places that will tint but they seem wishy-washy when I ask if they've ever done a 2IS. It may be worth it for the no-hassle guarantee from the dealer though.

Technique, some dealers charge for loaners to cover gas costs (Scottsdale Lexus charges $5/day). When we used to take our RX there for service -we drove the **** out the loaner to recoup our fiver. Chandler is part of United Auto Group like Scottsdale so they may normally charge too.

 

Man, I'd spend another few dollars and buy a hose and siphon all the gas out

 

Congrats on your new SLED. You got a great deal on your car...

 

What TINT did you get? I am curious ~

 

Enjoy it's a beast after you break it in, even though it is not necessary.

 

Congrats You won't regret this car.
