Congrats! Wow, 4 months already.

Obsidian/Rioja Red is my favorite color combo tied with USB/black. Love the upscale sinister yet aggressive and sporty front end. Post more pics even if the snow/salt gets the better of the car.

I paid $400.00 bucks for 15% tint all around, and clear bra over the hood, fenders and mirrors have friends in the tint business!
I did not take a pic today of the tint because the car is filthy with only 18 miles on it, the roads are melting snow and nasty. so ill get it washed up and take a pic tomorrow for you guys.
and I plan to stop by the tire store to get that project rolling tomorrow afternoon. hopefully by this weekend ill have the wheels and tires installed.

I am sure your AWD version does well in the snow as does my 2013 AWD GS!

but I think you ASSUMED I bought a AWD IS, fact is I may be the only person in Colorado with a RWD IS!
8 speed transmission and VGRS!
yea baby!
I can say the tranny shifts sweet and quick, but so far only been on city streets ill take it out later tonight if the roads aren't frozen.

also got the PCS radar cruise and rear shade, ML navi I have every option available for the F-sport.
and I am happy I waited to get exactly what I wanted verses take a lesser equipped one on the lot (assuming I went to a warmer state to buy)
