It seems to be hard to find an F-Sport car, but if you ask your local dealership they will be able to get one. I know this because I asked the sales rep about the Ultrasonic Blue since they did not have one except the Starfire Pearl and they told me they get it for me if I am committed and put money down.
No I didnt get that one. I got mine from a dealership closer than that.

And I did ask my local rep to look for one and he said there werent any around so I decided to do some looking of my own. Found one and decided to do business wtih them.


Thanks for the welcome guys and for the comments on my car. I plan on keeping this for a long time and will be babying it as much as possible. Already scoped out a nice parking spot at my office so there is no one next to me....

Cool deal. Any mods you're planning to do on top?

Maybe the Lexus Factory LED Fog Lights!

To be honest, I am probably going to keep it as close to stock as possible. However I have thought about doing the black vinyl top. I would drop it but i would scrap bad on my driveway all the time so its not worth it.

Any minor mod suggestions?

I picked my Obsidian up in Smyrna (GA) @ Nalley. Although, it had just arrived on the lot that day. I happened to be there. I fell in love. The rest is history. I like the SFP, that would be my next choice after black.

Nalley was one of the ones I called but I think it was the Roswell dealership. How did you like Smyrna? I used to live over there during college so I went by that dealership all the time.

Anyone have suggestions on minor mods to do next?

Bah, the salesman was very uninformed. Pretty much just kept telling me Lexus sells itself. Said my car had memory seats (it doesn't). When we were on the test drive he said "wow this thing is fast". Never been in a 350 but you are selling them? Not that it mattered much, I knew what I wanted and how much to pay, it was just a matter of getting them down to the right number.

Service department there is super nice though!

I have added the FSport intake, got it from Sewell shipped for about $320. It makes noise but thats about it. First mod should be 30% tint, especially on that color, to match the bad-*** rims.

Congratulations on getting the new 2011 F-Sport!

I know what you mean about having a hard time finding one. I had the same problem for the longest time. One salesman at one dealership said they'd get it for me but wouldn't negotiate and wanted MSRP plus shipping. The other one was more reasonable and was willing to deal and get it for me.
