NICE!!!

 

Nice TEG,

From my UserName, I am waiting for a Graphite Grey w/ graphite polished wheels. How does the Graphite on Graphite look?

 

Sweeeeetttt.

Although the graphites are lighter (and closer to stock looking) than I was expecting from the early magazine pictures.

I think they made some dark prototype graphite wheels that they showed off, and then went more "conservative" for the production version.

 

I have graphite wheels on my black IS, and they look tough ... I saw them on the gray IS at the dealership as well, and they looked great ...

 

Nice car TEG!

I was going to mention this earlier but forgot -- it's really hard to get good pictures of the gray except in really bright sunlight. I've been trying for awhile and haven't quite nailed it.

Apparently not a coincidence that the color is close to a Stealth Bomber . . . .

 

Sweet!

 

Hey , its nice, they look good 1 st 1 i've seen next to mine

Yellow IS300 w/LSD and graphite polished rims

 

Now I really can't wait till I get mine, seeing yours is going to make it harder for me when I go make my deal, I'll just be picturing yours!!! Have fun in your long awaited new IS!!!

 

Beautiful!!!
And your car has the perfect ride height.
Like our White IS300.

 

Looks almost as nice as my silver

. Seriously, grey was my 2nd choice. I like the way the paint sparkles in the sunlight. Enjoy

You mean stock ride height?

To each his own...

 

Your car is TIGHT bro....enjoy it!!

 

Nice car TEG. Looks like 17'' rims on the car. Thought you originally wanted 16''.

[From TEG: No - I never wanted the 16" wheels - I always wanted the 17" graphite polished. I just wish that the wheels were a bit darker like in the pictures of the prototypes. ]

TEG - can u show me the pics of the cloth interior???

 

Nice car,
I see you debadged the rear emblems Lexus and IS 300. Were they easy to remove? What about the L?
Looks nice and clean though

[From TEG: Not too hard - I used a Kyocera ceramic knife that I bought in Japan (the right tool for the job

) and then rubbed with my fingers to get the sticky tape off (and I have the blister to prove it

) and then I used some "goof off" product to remove the last bit of gluey residue ]

[I heard that the (L) has some metal studs that go through the metalwork... Besides I decided that I want to leave the Lexus logo on there. ]

Pimpin' Made Easy by Teg.

 

i knew i should've got the grey, instead of silver. nice car, teg

 

Awesome pics man...I seem to like all the colors. I saw a rust (or whatever they call it) one today and it looked really nice.

black/ivory
17"

[From TEG: Auburn Sky ]

WOW! I think that's the nicest color combination (graphite/graphite wheels) for the IS300. Haven't seen that configuration in person, but I did see black/graphite wheels and thought it was gorgeous. I'm a sucker for darker colors...
Eric....
Congratulations TEG! You know how to choose em.

I wonder if you can take a picture under sun light. I am considering Graphite Grey too...

 

Here is a picture I took of DTU's IS300:
