Smokey250

Wont these clear bras get scratched after years of washing and regular wear and tear? I assume you can't wax the area with the protection on it. doesn't it ever get dull?

I wonder if it would be more reasonable to just buy some all season tires for the 18" rims and put the sensors from the stock 17s on them... Winters get pretty bad around here so they would have to be fair in the snow.

Start Button, only because I couldnt afford the NAV...

Im still waiting for my car, but I got the smokey granite mica because I think a luxury car should have metal flake in the paint, it helps seperate them from other cars. I wanted the darkest "flaked" color I could find because they look so much better in low light. I am just hoping the color is not a blueish tint in the sun all the time, I saw some pics where it looked that way. Anybody have a comment on this?

I got a base model IS 250 MT for $29,250. I wanted this car so badly but it was out of my price range with any options at all so I had the dealer order me one on December 21st. Standard wating period is about 4 months I guess, which is how long Ill be wating :cries: At the time I figured that a Lexus comes with all the luxuries I want standard anyways so it wouldn't bother me.... but now Im reading about everybody's cars and all the cool options they got and I want them too! Next time I guess, Im sure once I drive my car for the first time I will be satisfied.

I guess Ill just factor the $350 for new sensors into the price of buying new wheels. Thanks for all the help!

Hello everyone, I just bought my first Lexus (07 IS250 MT RWD) and I ordered it with the 17's with the intention buying the OEM 18's off Ebay or somewhere else. I plan on using the 17's in the winter and was wondering if I can switch the tire pressure monitoring system between the 2 sets of wheels each season? I searched for this topic and couldn't find my exact situation. Thanks for the help! btw, as soon as I bought the car the first thing I did was find a good Lexus forum like this. I used to own a miata and found myself to be a miata.net junky once I saw all the cool ideas and advice that was available. I hope I have a similar experience here! :D
