In Canada, the base F comes with the "new" 5 spoke web design rim. The series 2 comes with the "original" 10 spoke rim. I thought this was the case in the US as well...
FYI I have never seen the 5 spoke rim in person. Every F I've seen in Canada are series 2.

Your 2011 USB F is so sick! At first I wasn't feeling the cluster except the new digital speed reading, but now they all grew on me, and I love the new headlights and suede seats.

How has everyone approached breaking in their Fs? I've decided to follow the instructions in the manual - which basically dictate taking it easy on the F until after the 1600 km (1000 mile) initial inspection. Any tips or tricks?
I hear ya Lou. I'm still not to sure what I think of the silver inserts on the steering wheel. At least they feel solid and match the paddles. 
Thanks furryjet! Originally, I wasn't too thrilled with the new design. I really liked the 2IS/F cluster - attractive, well balanced, and functional. But the new cluster has completely grown on me - its great! Very clean and simple. The digital readout and visual shift indicator are fantastic!
The new head lights are stunning! However, i do miss the AFS from the GS. Everyone that has seen the car comments how much they love her eyes!
My butt is held firmly in place by the alcantara. A great new feature that I think Lexus should offer in the other interior colour options as well.
Not exactly. The dealership will apply for, and have plates ready for when you take delivery. I had custom plates made specifically for the F. It took approximately 4 weeks to receive the plates.
I told my sales rep that i wanted the Michelin PS2s and not the other OEM Bridgestone tires!
I haven't noticed any pull between 1 - 160 km/h (approximately 100mph). I will study this further and report back!

I'm a firm believer in breaking it like you're gonna drive it long term and I have never blown up or otherwise damaged an engine.

MY FIRST "MOD" hahaha
After seeing my car for the first time, my dad went out and got me an F Sport shift ****! The carbon fiber on the **** DOES NOT match the dark carbon fiber in the 2011 Fs.
The **** is darker. However, the leather and stitching are good to go. Maybe it matches the dark carbon fiber engine cover... will take a look tomorrow.
I like the shape and feel, but I'm not too crazy about it because it doesn't match the interior finish, but how can I not put it on!?!?!
Will post some pics when i get the chance!
Again, cheers for all the warm welcomes!
