Traitor! Congrats amigo and the 4LS looks great in silver. Hopefully, like you said, this will be the one you keep for years and years. Having the new infotainment system must be awesome. While I am not a huge fan of the interface itself, if gets the job done.

Gorgeous car! I don't care for most stock wheels, but those are one of my favorites.

Now that is pretty much the exact color combo I'll get next. Looks great. Enjoy it. Let us know how you feel about that mouse coming from the touchscreen

Gorgeous car, Keith! I really love the 7 split-spoke 19s on your car, and the 5 split-spoke 18s. They look much nicer than the 15 spoke turbine 19s on my car. I believe both the split spoke designs have the hollow chambers to reduce noise. I seriously hope I will be able to swap my 5 wheels for one of those designs when I am ready to get new tires a year from now.

Thanks all. Looking forward to getting the car back after they paint the bumper cover and refinish the spare wheel. I have a brand new RX 350 loaner until they're done. As an aside, I bought the two updated front door outside sail panels from Lexus as I intended to replace the existing flat ones to try to get rid of the wind noise (which I ultimately traced to the window seals, not the door sail panels). So these are available (still sealed in the package). Part numbers 67495-50030 (right side) and 67496-50030 (left side). I paid $38 plus shipping. If anyone wants them for $15, just PM me.

sktn, out of curiosity, how much is it to refinish rims?

Don't know as they are doing it on their dime - usually about $125 - $150 if we're just talking deep scratches. But with the darker, shiny silver rims, I'm not sure if those are more expensive(?)

Congrats and enjoy the 2014. I recently had to make a similar decision - trade my 2007 for 2013/2014 or keep the '07 and get the control arms replaced. I decided to keep the '07, but it was a tough choice. The 2014 is very appealing.

Yes, were it not for the sticky door panels and pulls I would have kept it at least for a few more years.
