Woot! Woot!!

I’m so happy the transport was smooth and uneventful. Can’t wait to see post detailing pics, I’m sure the car will look awesome in that amazing garage! #BeyondJealous

I agree, but I will say the interior/sound comparison annoyed me. The LC500 is the flagship, it’s SUPPOSED to have a better fit and finish!

It was interesting to see the colors side-by-side. It looked brighter on the LC, I suspect, because there’s more surface area than on the IS.

A few pics. Far from complete but interior is done, under carriage is done, battery is charged up, clay bar is done, wax and sealer are done. Need to jack the car, remove and clean the wheels and then apply a matte finish seal on them.

Interior pics don't this colour any favour, it needs to be seen in the sun - Also, a few artefacts from the wall reflecting on the car doesn't help, I must have shined it too much that it's like a mirror (lol)

They look like Enkies. Snow tires on Enkies, regular tires on the BBS it came with?

They are Braelin BR10s (PN: BR10-1985-65BN+35C601), I actually chose them because they looked very similar to the stock Enkeis, but at +35 it came out flush and cleared the brembos.

Thanks. I hadn't heard of Nokian before, but being a Finnish manufacture of winter tires exclusively, you can bet they are probably among some of the best winter tires in the business.
