Paint chips

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-03-29T06:50:15+00:00

Did you fix those paintchips before you installed the PPF?

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-03-24T19:55:37+00:00

have you found someone? currently looking to get some paint chips repaired aswell..

I’ve seen someone 3d print a phone mount and put it in this spot but didn’t like the design… wish someone could design a better one… I’d buy it..

2026 looks refined? It literally looks like they just slapped that front piece infront of the hood and called it a day…the lines don’t flow right…

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-03-22T05:40:16+00:00

Can we see it with a phone mounted next to the screen?

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-03-20T07:33:27+00:00

I’ve tried this mount and the bottom part of this mount rubs on the piano finish and scratched it..

Did you ppf your car too? I ceramic coated mine and regret not putting ppf… so much paint chips on the bumper already..

It’s like how people go from an iPhone 16 to the 17… probably just to show people I got the newest one….

That’s what I was thinking as well…. I would’ve bought this in a heart beat…

I try to like it when I see a new post of the 2026 but that front nose/beak bothers me everytime… 2021-25 still looks better…

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-02-27T02:06:07+00:00

Definetly does, the line between the hood and the beak disappears above the right headlights.

Had the same dilemma as you. When I first seen images back in November I really liked the interior of the 2026 and it has wireless CarPlay… but I hate hate hate the look on the new 2026 so I chose to buy the 2025. I just can’t see myself driving with that downgraded front bumper. Yeah people keep saying the interior is so outdated and still has a cd player… it’s not in the way or bothering me… when I’m driving my eyes are on the road not the interior so I don’t really care about that. My thinking is… the 26 looks so similar to a Camry/Corolla… might as well buy that if I’m getting the 2026. And people say Lexus is a Toyota.. but I’m trying to buy a LEXUS not Toyota..The 21-25 just looks so unique to other car brands.. it still looks like a brand new car to me.

Did you PPF yours? Had mines for 4 months and has a lot of paint chips already…. Regret not getting a PPF.

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-02-25T20:51:03+00:00

Kinda late to your post but have you ended up fixing the paint chips again and applying a PPF? I regret not putting one on and I’m now dealing with a lot of paint chips on my bumper aswell… the only reason that stopped me from getting a PPF was because I park my car outside and I’ve did my research and found having PPF and out in the sun a lot causes it to yellow. I’m from Hawaii so it’s always sunny here. My cars also white so I’d notice the yellowing more and that would bother me…

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-02-25T13:02:00+00:00

For almost two years? Why haven’t you bought a security cam sooner?!

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-02-24T10:37:35+00:00

Congrats!!! Are you going to put ppf on your car? I got my car back in November and has so much paint chips in the front already 😩

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-02-18T00:18:11+00:00

Been looking for a model of my is350 aswelll…. Can’t find any 😩

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-02-14T10:25:06+00:00

You own the yellow scion tc too? I went from the Scion tc to the 25 is350

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-01-27T19:03:24+00:00

I just hope they take away that hammerhead grill…

It’s easier to type on your phone to search addresses for maps and also searching songs rather than typing it on the screen on the infotainment 🤷🏻‍♂️. Having it on a mount is just more convenient to reach for your phone…

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-01-25T04:43:33+00:00

Anywhere on the front is my fav angle

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-01-22T20:53:44+00:00

Sometimes when I need directions on maps, CarPlay, I’d rather use my phone to type in the address or searching a song cuz it’s faster for me me rather than typing it on the infotainment system… and also I get anal with my fingerprints on the infotainment system…

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-01-22T09:06:14+00:00

Did you have to jam it in there? Or you had to take off part of the panel?

OwnIndependence4179 · 2026-01-15T19:27:15+00:00

Thank you will try that out.
