Couldn't help myself.

I wanted something different and new, and then I saw the black on red edition and was sold. I was immediately impressed with the changes they made to the car, aesthetically and with the suspension.

I guess my P-car is going to have to wait.

Did the new car come from the factory with a HKS exhaust or did you order one immediately?

Great purchase, congrats!

I had the HKS on my first ISF and the Lexus dealer installed in on the new F before I even started her up for the first time.

I had the coilovers factory customized with Swift springs and a custom spring rate, so the lead time is 3-6 weeks. :(

The 11+ cars feel completely different than the older ones. Good choice.

You sold the old F and bought a newer F? What are the differences with this new Red edition?

I have never seen a car model that's not google-able.

The only market that call this Red Edition is NZ/AU.

Just the red seats probably. The main difference is 08 vs 11+, completely different suspension, torsen lsd, different steering ecu, etc.

I thought they were discontinuing the F after the 2012 models?

probably, she slept over a few nights downtown... it was one of those weeks

the "red edition" is just how it was sold to me, I ordered it without seeing the black on red leather.

thanks for the compliments guys, I cant wait to get the coilovers installed.. this wheel gap is killing me

here's a quick snap of the interior, its a tasteful amount of red.. full red leather interiors are overkill.

I got my hi-temp brambo decals in finally.

They forgot to include my black set, so the only option I have right now is white.. might as well give them a shot this weekend.

Is this a legit Red Edition?
Google says Lexus only made 10 Red Editions for the Kiwi people.

Did you read the entire thread?

no its not a legit red edition, its how the vehicle was explained to me as they did not have one in the showroom or alberta for me to view.
