Default Finally here!

After a small disheartening realization of writing that big check I finally get to see and feel the results and join the few and elite members around here.

Picked up my car lastnight as I had them drive it in the service center so I could check it out since it was dark. Sorry for the bad pictures (note to self to bring a REAL camera if there is a next time), but typical of a camera phone. Most of my pictures suck, because I guess I was too excited to get in and drive it and these were the only ones that didn't show too much shaking. Other members have better shots of a Black/Black, but you get the picture.

I think I'm the first in Minnesota to take delivery, had a lot of people drooling over the car since you just don't see many IS 350s around here let alone an IS F.

Clear Bra gets added next week and they also threw in a IS car cover and winter mats (must around here) not to mention a cool IS F key ring - pic doesn't do it justics as it is a more deep blue similar to the F emblem and stitching, etc.

Unfortunately, it is now next to my GS all covered since we just got about 2 inches of snow today and since I don't have the clear bra yet I didn't want to do too much driving. You southern folks are lucky you don't have to deal with this white stuff - I mean snow!

You did pretty good son. So just to confirm, you got the dealer to throw in the 'clear bra' along w/ the other goodies? With a $7k+ markup over invoice (factoring in the markup of added options), I'd ask them to clear bra the whole entire car! jk.. but why not?

Congratulations! I love the black on black with the gunmetal (not that it comes any other way, but still).

Does the ISx50 car cover they gave you fit the IS-F well? Or did they give u an IS-F car cover or what? I am looking to get a car cover for my IS-F...

Congratulations, you'll love it!

Hey, can you find out where the dealer got the key chains? My dealer claims they don't/won't carry them and that they are dealer specific not Lexus specific. Any pointer appreciated.
