Hi everyone,

I posted some pics on the ISF rollcall thread of the car when I picked her up from the Lexus dealership delivery bay.

Since that time (last week) I've done the DIY intake mod and removed the secondary cats. Car sounds better but no fuel usage benefits as I can't help smashing the loud pedal.

Here's some pics of a quick photoshoot courtesy of a friend of a friend.

Nice looking F! The 08-09 wheels, especially the ones you have, are IMO the best factory wheels Lexus has produced. Enjoy your F!

Congrats on the new ride it looks great! I see you got the radar cruise option too, which I find to be really enjoyable on longer trips.

BTW.. It's kinda of hard to tell in the pics but it does appear that your front wheels are on the wrong sides.

Fuel usage benefits from mods is like using a double negative in a sentence

Are your wheels painted?
