Don't worry about the paint match - at least it's red, which is a pretty easy color to match. It's the quality of work that's going to be tough to match.
Sorry this happened to you. Hope everything gets taken care of with no issues.
True, quality paintwork is difficult to find - I also had a paint correction and 5 year ceramic done on it right after purchase, so that would need to be redone, as well (will still need to be redone on the passenger rear door that has surface scratches thanks to this anyway). But I do have the car going to a good shop tomorrow, who have done work on local Audi R8s and Porsches, so that's a small consolation. I appreciate the kind words - I'm hoping it'll be back good as new again by the time all is said and done. Jealous of your 500, by the way - happy to see you enjoying it in good health on your posts.

No comment on politics, as I think that gets messy in a public setting, but I'd agree that these people seemingly get too many opportunities to negatively impact positive functioning members of society (this is the second time in about 3 years that I've had wheels stolen off of a vehicle, and that's just me). Thank you for the kind words...I just hope I can get the car back to how I had it - minus a couple very tiny rock chips, it looked like the day it rolled off the lot, and it kills me that someone felt it was okay to just smash all that hard work and take it for themselves.

Reason: Spelling
Front and rear skirts
Carbon mirrors
Custom mudflaps (OEM hardware used no screws)
Almost 2 inch drop (RSR downs)
Chrome delete
Roof wrap
Taillight extension and tint
Catback
20s for the summer
Stoptech cryo drilled front brakes
just added Bonnoss wheel spacers 20/25MM. Very well made and light. 12 days shipped from China to USA. Quality stuff! Drove about 50 miles and as smooth as OEM. Steering ON CENTER feels more stable (or my imagination). Went to 75 MPH and no vibration. I m not suprised when I saw how well they fit.
They are very rare on the IS350. I think I've only seen it one time.
When I got my IS 350 in 2022, these wheels were only available if you got the Dynamic Handling Package (DHP).. It came w/ the BBS wheels.. I LOVE THEM!!! They're also 4 lbs lighter per wheel!!!
Gotcha! That makes sense then. Up here in Canada, it’s a bit different as we have the base f-sport 2 model which is standard. Upgrading to f-sport 3 gets you things like the bbs, AVS, triple LED, ML and 360 cameras, etc.
Also, do you know which packages came with the carbon fibre trunk spoiler in the US?
Finally found time to finish detailing my daily driver. Pretty pleased with the result, very impressed with the paint quality. As good, maybe better than Porsche.
Nice. I ve had and so then detailed a few Porsche s . I have found Japanese paint to be better as far as durability. Porsche paint looks good but is soft.(easy to detail), but marks up easy.
And here is a random photo from a couple days ago where I had just washed the car and went out to grab Cracker Barrel because... it's a holiday, I ain't cooking.

Great job on your IS and the back drop of your pictures is Gorgeous! The sun and the mountains makes for a Beautiful view (it looks like you've got a Nice looking house too! Congratulations and Thanks for sharing the pictures!
