Good info, I didn't know there were two finishes. Thanks!

Hello everyone, first post, love looking at all of your great work. I just upgraded from my 2014 IS250 Titanium in Australia (atomic silver) to a 2017 IS350 FSport Black. Loving the car and the extra power under the bonnet. Here it is getting treated with paint protection - opticoat plus - very happy with the results. Picking it up today. Enjoy the pics

Nothing special, just a side shot in the morning sun. Mods: 20mm spacers front and rear, Invidia Q300 axle back and an Icon ebay front lip.

I like the sound a lot, it's not too loud, and it's not too quiet *for me*. It drones for the first 50-100 miles, but after it burns-in it's exactly what I wanted.

These are the vmb5 19’s. I believe they are 19x10.5 rear and 19x9 front. I’m running 275width tires on the rear lowered on swift springs.
