Default 2014 MRM IS350 F-Sport

This has been long overdue. I have had the car for a month now and I have driven over 1600 miles. Love it to death. Finally I managed to take the car over to Half Moon Bay and click some snaps.

The car is a IS350 F-sport. Matador Red Mica with Black interior. Blind spot monitor, Navigation package, after market parking sensors.

Very nice!

Where did you mount the parking sensors? I do not see them.

Aloha,
Larry

Oops, now I see them. Good job. Do they signal a curb? I notice you are very close in the one picture.

Yeah, the parking sensors blend into the grill. When I took delivery I didn't notice them either,
It doesn't signal curbs, but I don't think any parking sensors do. I think there is something called Curb Alert for that purpose.

Did you install the parking sensors by yourself? Front only? It looks really nice blend in.

No, I had the dealer install it. I opted for front only since I have rear view camera on the back. I might install them later on.

Parking sensors are integrated with stock system? Can you adjust distant control?
