Yes I finally got my IS300!!!!

Yes it finally came! I got to do away with the 4runner and get my 02 manual IS300. Its all stock I havent recieved any mods except for the HKS products. So far the car aweasome. The only thing is the shift from 3-4 is a little rough. But the car is great ill keep you updated.

What color is your IS300? I like its graphite gray the most.

Oh I wish Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII would come to America and it would be the fastest 4 door sold in America.

My IS300 is Black Onyx. Its got many mods which hopefully come soon. I liked the Graphite, and the Blue. When the IS first came out and I saw the black one I thought it looked cheesy with the chrome tails but then I saw one with black head and tail lights it looked aweasome so I just said what the hell and bought it. Again so far I love the car.

I like all your technical terms:

"Thicker anti roll bars"
"Fully adjustable transmission"
"Stronger rear end"
"20in. Ameican Racing hot rod rims"
"Racing stiff Eibach springs"

Also, you may save yourself a little money if you buy one other the other...HKS dampeners or TRD adjustable shocks, since they're both the same thing.

Good luck

Man did you somehow go into the future and purchase that car cause its not even out yet. The manual IS 300 hasn't even been reviewed by sites yet. Why you gotta lie to us? And even if you did get it you will still lose to CL-S's anyway. Unless you hook it up like you say you will but you could have bought a TL-S which is faster and bigger inside for less money and it has a navi also.

The IS300 manual is available. I drove one at Westminster Lexus in southern California several weeks ago. A guy who works out at the same gym I do bought one from Tustin Lexus shortly after I drove the Solar Yellow. The IS300 manual is reviewed (very positively) in the current Edmunds site.

Why, such funky explanations of after market parts on the Stang? Cause I didnt want to make my sig too too large. I didnt even think you guys would care about a old Mustang so I left out some details.

Yeah I actually got a car that someone else ordered but they cancelled their order so I got thier car. It had navigation, I didnt originally order nav so they gave me that option for half off and they offered to polish the rims and give me the factory spoiler. So I happily paid half price for nav and instead of the wheels and spoiler I got a bunch of free maintenence stuff. I think the car out the door was like 38 and a half grand. I got a pretty good deal on it concidering all the options I put on it.

Just get yur wife the IS300 its aweasome. The aft3er market is also very good for the little Lexus. As you can see I have lots of mods. Most not installed or recieved yet. The only things on the car are the C2's, HKS hiper exhaust, the grill, and the spoiler.

38.5G's sounds a bit steep in general...were all your mods through the dealorship?? if not, what exactly did u get from the dealor that made the car so expensive...u said the NAV was thrown in half off, so im thinkin around 1G...where's the other 8.5G's worth of options come from?? i priced the 5-speed with the combo leather-ecsaine and every option they offer and i just barely crossed the $34K barrier...what am i missing???
