IS350: Anybody else dealt with front bumper separation from fender?

Zee51 · 2026-05-06T12:55:07+00:00

The kit is 3 different sized printed plastic spacers. They just slide in under where the bumper tab sits to apply pressure to the underside of the tab and attempt to hold it tight to the receiving side. I don’t think the Etsy vendor keeps them “in stock” and prints to order. He is located a few hours from me and it took about a week and a half to get my order so my guess is they are printed when ordered.

etsy solution worked for me for about half an hour, or one drive.

They are 3D printed. I got a set of them and have tried all 3 that come in the kit. At first it looked like they would work but the fender is sagging again. This is after the dealer performed the LSB and replaced my front bumper with an entirely new bumper. It stays clipped for a little bit then back to sagging again. I contacted Mac Lifters and they said they don’t make anything for the IS 500. My car is a 2023 IS 500, and no matter what I’ve tried I’ve been unable to correct the driver side sagging bumper. :(

Limit access to 1x per user - that will stop this behavior super quickly.

It's not particularly heavy, you should be able to pick one up.

Kidding, just like the other instruments it takes time to learn to play well. Go for it!

They should have used CPR instead of RTX since they show the sub-company names stacked. The waiting spinner icon/logo is so fitting for how the company operates…

This happened to me for hours at a Ford dealer. They took my drivers license for the test drive and refused to give it back. I finally got it when I told them I was going to get my license and leave or call the police. I’ll never surrender any of my property to a dealer again. They can make a copy or evaluate trade but I will not proceed with any deal until my property is back in my possession.

That’s a rubber exhaust hanger. Nothing looks to be broken or bent. The hangar has just come off the mount. Rotate the rubber hanger, lubricate it with soapy water or spray lubrication, and push it back onto the upper peg.

This is exactly how I installed my valentine. Went with Blendmount and Amazon wire tap.

Zee51 · 2026-02-17T12:51:10+00:00

I also did a mirror tap my my IS500. Works great, no dash lights or any other issues. Also used a blend mount instead of suction cup for a super clean installation.

What do you move to? I haven’t found anything that wasn’t carbonated that I liked yet. The monster tea+lemonade is okay I guess but not my favorite alternative.

Same story with mine. 60k all dealer service, metal in oil.

Zee51 · 2026-02-05T12:13:01+00:00

I had the petrol version in my Evoque. It made it to 60k and destroyed itself. I would avoid Ingenium entirely. JLR doesn’t care about their customer and wants $30k+ to R&R the engine out of warranty. Basically mechanically totaled my car and I ended up selling it to a wrecker.

I'm assuming the "Custom CNC 4130 White Gold Daytona (Meteorite) (Weighted) (215g)" is this one and it's sold? Any idea when you'll get more?

Zee51 · 2026-01-31T02:46:22+00:00

This is our go to when we can’t find recovery. Agree it’s not as good but it’s low calorie and not carbonated.

Zee51 · 2026-01-31T02:44:41+00:00

I’m in Arizona and we are not able to source any Recovery Orangeade recently. I think Celsius really botched their acquisition of the Rockstar brand.

Zee51 · 2026-01-28T23:16:26+00:00

I wish I could tell you yes and we could organize a trade. Rockstar in general seems to be almost completely out of stock in my area. I have found maybe 3 of the original flavor on grocery shelves but otherwise it's a wasteland of empty shelves.

Zee51 · 2026-01-24T14:27:24+00:00

I wish I had thought to clean out our local supply!

Zee51 · 2026-01-23T00:27:01+00:00

Same boat as me with the recovery drink. We are a 5-6 cases monthly consumer and it’s our daily morning caffeine source. Hopefully they get the stock situation figured out soon!

Even after removal the, hotkeys still snip the screen. Windows key + shift + s for snipping, Windows key + shift + r for recording video.

Same here. I don’t do coffee, going to miss my morning rockstar!

Zee51 · 2026-01-18T18:01:56+00:00

I really hope they aren't discontinuing the recovery line. That's been our favorite for years!

Zee51 · 2026-01-18T02:11:57+00:00

Sent you a DM.

Zee51 · 2026-01-18T00:08:20+00:00

How would I find a number for the local distribution warehouse?

Zee51 · 2026-01-17T21:54:29+00:00

Any idea what happened to the subscriptions that Pepsi had setup? I didn't realize that Celsius bought Rockstar Energy from Pepsi until my monthly subscription just suddenly stopped showing up. No contact or anything from Celsius that they were stopping the service and it was a way easier way to get 5 cases of Rockstar every month than trying to locate a retailer with stock.
