Talking Took Delivery Today

Hello All!

First and foremost, thank you to everyone here at Club Lexus forum for your continuous support and advise on my new car here from research, trim choosing, quoting, negotiating to purchasing, you guys have been extremely helpful!

I am a proud owner of the new 2015 IS350 Fsport with Nebula Grey and red interior!!

I am super excited and look forward to great time with this beast. And now comes the fun with aftermarket parts.

I'd like to get some advise on the location/market place of a goof aftermarket part source. I know sewell use to be a good place but it's now closed.. I heard mylparts is the next best thing for OEM parts.

I have my eyes set stone on the following parts:
-F sport performance exhaust
-F sport performance air intake
- Vossen Black Graphite 20" Vossen CVTs
- Black gloss roof vinyl wrap
- Chrome delete with 3M gloss black replace

Any comments or suggestions on where to purchase would be great..

I'll be following the general break in for engine: (walked out of dealer with 6miles on it)

● For the first 186 miles (300 km):
-Avoid sudden stops
● For the first 621 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds
• Avoid sudden acceleration
• Do not drive continuously in low gears
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods

Guess i'll be cruising in Normal/Eco mode for awhile....

Thanks guys!

Congrats and enjoy!

Wish I could've convinced my wife on the red interior but she insisted on the black.

That's funny. I wanted black but my wife insisted red. I'm glad I gave in. The red is pretty nice

Well in my case it's her car, so the choices are hers - I'm guessing that's fair.
