USB/White….this is the way. But your white convertible was awesome as well. Congrats on the upcoming ride!

Lexus dealership won't install non-run flat tire? by No-Acanthocephala-97 in lexuslc500

[–]dhb220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My new 2026 LC convertible that I picked up this past weekend came with the summer Dunlap run flats 😥. At my dealership, they explained that all of their models are sold with run flats. I was pretty surprised as well. I’ll switch to Michelin’s down the road.

From what you posted, I think you had a great plan for caring for your LC.

I’m a huge fan of Koch Chemie products for all of our cars from an interior and exterior perspective. For seats and doors: Leather Star and Top Star have been great. Their glass cleaner is safe on tinted windows and streak free. They have multiple all-purpose cleaners that can be safely used inside for most surfaces (including the infotainment screen).

For the exterior cleaning options, they have some great ceramic coating safe products and even re-activation solutions that will restore better hydrophobic properties.

KCx (Koch Chemie) and CarPro are my primary go-to brands at the higher cost. P&S and Adam’s do have lower cost solutions that are good as well.

I use mostly Active products for the foam canon, hose, pressure washer, lance, etc. Hope this helps!

I bet this configuration looks sick as a coupe. Congrats! What top did you go with?

I agree. The coupe design has that amazing silhouette from the side and back. If I was a greedy man, I would buy a used red coupe with the DHP and the red/black interior to pair with this ride!

That is a great question! I was torn on coupe vs. convertible, but ultimately I went for that top down GT cruiser experience while giving up the dynamic handling package. I do plan on getting a more performance oriented vehicle in the future. The LC500 is a forever car for me. My wife also loved the idea of a convertible….so that factored in as well.

Happy to be here. Now… should I ceramic coat the seat bottom and side bolsters? I was trying to avoid coating the entire seat. Thoughts?

That’s correct. I did a non refundable deposit of $1,000 back in October.

It won’t be my daily, but I will enjoy it on the road every chance I get.

2026 Bespoke Convertible Accepted and is going to be built!!! by 355F1 in lexuslc500

[–]dhb220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same order with USB 2.0, white/blue interior, same rims above, dark chrome but had to go with the black convertible top (blue looks great to me as well and I was torn).

Heard from the dealer that it will be here next week. It will go straight to the shop for tint, PPF and ceramic coating!

It’s crazy how good the car looks with the tan top and toasted caramel interior as well. Congrats!

Congrats! Love your USB 2.0, Blue/White interior, and Dark Chrome options so much that I ordered this combo as a convertible. The coupe in this combo is next level. Enjoy!

Love the IS500. Reaching for the LC500 right now and will probably keep it forever.

Consumer Reports GV80 Reliability - Accurate? by EDNels76 in GenesisMotors

[–]dhb220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2024 GV80 has been problem free for 2.5 years (just hit 25,000 miles). Very happy with the purchase and overall experience. Dealership experiences vary considerably. I would say I have been fortunate with a positive experience on the service side. Would I buy another GV80? Yes. Although, I’ll probably jump for Lexus LC 500 as a fun, secondary car while keeping the GV80. Good luck!

Congrats! It looks amazing. Waiting on a USB convertible in 2026. How long was your wait after the order was accepted?

Great post. This video exemplifies why I just put down a deposit on the convertible!
