yup, not sure how to describe it but the wheels in the US are more shinny while here they are a painted gunmetal color with a clear coat finish on it. I am french speaking and struggle with how to describe but I will take a close up pic of the wheel and uploaded it.

Yes, in Canada we have the headlight washers and the memory seats too. I still hate the electronic ebrake that prevents the car from moving unless the door is closed though..am I the only one that occasionally need to move the car with the door slightly ajar?!?

Btw, the pinkish hue on the top spoke is a reflection on the wheel, the wheel finish on the 9 o'clock position is how it looks in the flesh

Oh. It makes sense now. I thought you lived in the US. I'm guessing Canada has different specs. And yeah, we don't have headlight washers or memory seats. That's cool.

New car looks awesome! I've never seen the white on white combo before, but it looks great. I'm in Ontario as well and just picked up the '21 IS300 AWD F Sport in Ultra White with Circuit Red Interior. Agreed they went a bit heavy on the red, but it's a throwback to my 98 Integra Type R so I had to go for it.

Any plans to mod?

^^ had I not had a red interior on my 2017 IS and 2019 RC, I likely would have gone red too but I needed a change and didnt want all black.

No mods planned except swap the LCA bushings...I dont think there is any ways to make this car look better other than not have me in it lmao
