Hey ngl,
I'm all over the IS-F boards and I've seen all of the beautiful pics of your car. It is just because of these pictures of your Obsidian IS-F as to why my initial color choice was black as well, but from seeing all of the angles from your photos, I am going with the Smoky Granite Mica instead. Thank you so much. Your car is one nice looking machine. IMHO I think a clean, more taylored front fascia would be all this car really needs to set it to perfection. Let's see what, and if the aftermarket invents.

dont get the c63. if you want to talk about let downs, c63 has them in spades. the engine is the gem. everything else falls way short. the tranny sucks, pure slushbox all the way. no downshift blips. lag on upshifts like an IS350, C350, etc...brutal kickdowns. the interior is no better than a C300. no alcantara anywhere. seats are nice though. for this class of car, i think the engines from anyone is quite good. rs4, m3, isf, c63 engines are all nice. but the transmissions are what sets them apart.

Driven the IS-F and liked it a lot on the track and road. WIll never own it because you cant get a stock. M3 all day over it IMO. Nicer than the S5 though (driving wise).
