Thanks everyone for the comments! The wait ended up being longer than usual, but i'm definitely glad i waited. here's one more pic

i haven't been home and won't be home till labor day weekend (my dad actually took the youtube video so i could see the car). So, i can't speak on personal experience how it rides just yet. According to my dad, he said it rides smooth and handles great. My dad has been driving my 250 AWD since i'm away, and he said the 350 with the upgrades rides noticeably better than the 250 on the same road. And he said the sways and chassis brace improve cornering.

it's post March. It was originally scheduled to be built in April, but with the japan quake, it got pushed back to at least some time in June, I believe.

Looks good. How do you figure out the build dates on our cars?

thanks again for the comments! yeah i definitely can't wait to get home and see it in person! as for the build date question, i'm not sure where to look it up either. Anyone knows? i only know roughly when mine was built because the dealership kept me updated.

The build date should be stamped on the label on the side of the drivers door where all the other vehicle info is.

Damn....I am a little jealous too. I love the yellow brakes on your car. Make sure to post up pictures of your car in the Official USB thread so that we can see all of your updates. Here is the link: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...50-thread.html
