Awesome!!!! Congrats on the new car! IMO chrome rims are the only good color for that color car, and as far as red outs, see here.

Welcome to ClubLexus and Congratulations on the new car purchase!!!

Let's see:

--I'm a big fan of chrome (bling is in!), but with your dark car, I would go for dark/smoked chrome.

--Red out is a sticker you put on the turn signals on the taillight so that the whole tailight is red, instead of having that orange spot in the back. It makes the back look cleaner.

Congrats on your new IS and welcome to Club Lexus

As far as wheels are concerned, brushed finish always looks good

Polished or brushed would good. Maybe even bronze or gold depending on the style of the wheel.

Welcome to CL and congrats on the new ride! No need to be embarrassed! We were all newbies at one time. (Btw, a newbie is someone, like you, that is "new" to this forum)(Btw=By The Way)
What part of Cali are you from and where did you get your IS350?
