Went from a Night Hawk Black Pearl 2006 Acura RSX Type S, to a Tungsten Pearl 2011 Lexus IS350 with F-sport package.
The Lexus is just an amazing car, I should have made the switch a lot sooner. I hope everyone likes the pictures.
Thank you for viewing.

Thanks. Sway bars and a drop. But I'm still doing research on this forum.

nice pickup! I too, came from an rsx-s to is350. Although, I loved the RSX, the is350 is more luxurious and a pleasure to drive.

My wife has an Alpine White RSX. It's a fun car, plus I love how the engine sounds. You made a good choice... IS350 should be more fun than my 250.

Welcome to CL and congrats!

Hi!!

I have the same combo as you but in the IS250 fsport tungsten pearl. Love the feel of the car and it's so much fun to drive, and love the feel of the sports tuned suspension!!

Congrats, I got mine 2 weeks ago

Congratulations! First silver 2011 IS F-Sport I've seen here. Hope to see it lowered!

Still trying to get one myself. Might have to get my dealership to order one from a CA dealership.
