finally here!
Well there's several factors. Convenience is huge, not invalidating the warranty is another especially considering i bought the extended warranty. I actually did get a break on the mods (I didn't get a break on the actual car which was a special order, called several dealers who refused to drop the price on a special order). The wheels though were not through the dealer.. neither was the tint. They were through associated vendors but the cost was rolled into the final purchase price. Wheels ended up being more expensive that I first expected because of the cost of the paint job (but I have to say, that the painter deserved it.. amazing job).
The biggest factor by far though, is that I actually saved thousands compared to DIY because whatever I did was included in the final purchase price.. don't know if I should elaborate that, has to do with this being a work vehicle.

your wheels are so damn hot! oh btw, congrats!
GOTIS!!
Congrats on the ride...it looks great! I feel your pain w/ the 4 month wait. I work for TMS (Toyota Motor Sales) in Jacksonville - we get the ships in from Japan. My car is arriving tomorrow (12/1), and I ordered the first week of Aug, I truly feel your pain! I also did accessories prior to driving - F-Sport rims/tires, exhaust, lowering springs, sway bars, air intake, shift **** (all F-Sport stuff).
By the way I ordered an IS-C, 6 speed manual. Picts will be up by Frid.
Congrats again! Truly enjoy it......nice car!

thanks guys! it's all thanks to the info on the forum and the crazy amount of experience you all have with these cars!
i was thinking of blacking out the tails rather than redouts, like 85% or whatever so that theres still plenty of light. but before that, i think i'd like to change out all the non-led/hid lights.. i was appalled to see that even though i've got hid low beams, the 'daytime lights' are halogen! that dome lights got to go too.
i'm going to read the manual to try and figure out what bulbs i need to get. i didn't find v-leds to be a very user friendly site, but then, i'm a noob at all this.

Anyway, not that these internet links are always reliable, but this link seems to say it's the same.

As you all probably know, there's no way to do justice with these pics.. especially with my shabby skills and limited photo time (had to sneak away for 15 minutes to get these).
I think Vossen deserves some serious praise.. I really love how the wheels turned out, they are the perfect blend of aggressive yet understated and elegant style. I stared at a lot of wheel pics including vossen's photo shoots, it's hard to compare the photos to what it looks like in person.
