My previous car was an IS300 which i owned for 6 years, however it was starting to get outdated to me (style), so it was time for me to update ...and this is where my starfire pearl IS-F comes in, I like the fact that these cars are not so common on the roads, while driving back (5 1/2hrs) my brother and I recieved many stares, and thumbs up and compliments withing just hours of owning it. I was surprised by the fuel consumption, i was expecting it to be high for a 5.0 liter V8 however we managed to coax 28 MPG!!! anyway on the pics. NVM the cell phone pics...

If your gas mileage is that high you're not driving her right! I kid.. the F has some surprising fuel consumption for a high-power V8. Welcome to the F family! The SFP looks great!

Thank you for the kind words gentleman, I'm really excited about my F, I just want to enjoy it as it is for now before i start looking into getting the 2010 wheels also is it just me or is starfire pearl not such a common color for the IS-F'? as far as i know i think I'm the only SFP i've seen in my area.
