A couple of the dealerships said that they wouldnt be getting new inventory for 30 days because of the issues in Japan. To top that off the price of the cars are going UP. The percentage wasnt a definite but multiple salesmen at different dealerships said 10-12%. I dont know if thats true but I thought I would let anyone know that might be looking to get a new Lexus in the near future. Supposedly this price increase wont start until the next shipment hits the lots.

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.

That's funny you said that about the memory seats because my salesman said the same thing even though I knew that it didn't.

You said 30% tint but I have had 20% on all my previous cars. Do you think that will be too dark for this car?

Sorry I meant 35%, legal limit in GA. That's a personal preference though. My car is black on black, and I like the 35% because it looks dark without looking limo dark which I don't like. I guess it depends on if you want it to look smoked out or blacked out. I can send you pics of mine if you want.
