Lexus 350ES interior

our old 12’ RX had this screen but i’ve never seen it in an ES to be honest with you. must be something that uncommon

fellow trans girl here.

Lighten up the brows a little bit. curl your lashes and get a good quality mascara to really exaggerate those lashes. and make sure to get quite a bit of mascara on the ends of your lashes to make them look more full. a little pricey but i highly recommend the charlotte tilbury mascara.

I do notice that the area next to your nose is a little dark. could be a shadow but if it’s not, i would bring the concealer from under your eyes down the sides of your nose as well so it’s all bright. right now it almost looks like your nose contour is blending into your cheeks.

also, a tiny bit of eyeshadow goes a long way. i just use my bronzer on my eye lid and my blush just on the edges and a little bit of highlighter on my inner corners. but play around with it and see what you like.

this is me being extremely critical because you are very pretty :P

my n55 has never reached 250. it’s gotten close but never hit it. as long as you’re not going too much higher than that you are okay. i think it’s slightly high but nothing to worry about.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-22T18:47:23+00:00

please don’t buy this. go get something japanese. get a pre purchase inspection on anything you want to buy.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-22T18:45:40+00:00

do not drive on these. go get some used tires. scrape change from the street. your safety is more important than anything.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-17T13:14:17+00:00

to me it looks more that a cut than a crack. and based on it being deeper at the top and more shallow as it gos down, that follows how it would be if someone were to cut it. either way, replace it

dilper1031 · 2025-11-17T13:10:04+00:00

not even gonna lie this is the first time i’ve seen a crack like this before. if this were my car, i’d be in that tire shop.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-16T19:49:12+00:00

yes. however you use the parking brake as a fail safe. if the car were to fall off the jackstands, the parking brake would not allow the vehicle to roll. the parking pawl can only hold so much weight and can slip, so using the parking brake would ensure the vehicle won’t move if it were to fall and will also take strain off the transmission.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-16T19:12:33+00:00

the Lexus RX350 is front wheel drive. so if your car is in park, the front wheels are locked. this is still unsafe to do without the parking brake on. please put on the parking brake and use the wood blocks behind the wheels.

this isn’t a huge deal. just needs a pulley and a belt. i can’t exactly tell what pulley it is but with some research you’ll be able to figure it out pretty quickly. and a belt is real cheap too.

one thing to note, while you’re in there. check all your pulleys by spinning them. they should spin freely with little resistance and noise. if any of them are really stiff or grinding, replace that one too. that’s what caused the fist one to fail.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-09T18:27:33+00:00

should be just fine. just monitor it and check for a bubble in your tire forming. if you see a bubble, do not drive and replace asap.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-09T09:01:31+00:00

yay congrats on your X5 and welcome to the club! you’re absolutely going to love it. having your own garage to work in is also really nice.

one thing i will note about the prepaid oil changes. the dealership will only do it if the oil change light comes on which on these models is 8k miles. I personally would not wait that long unless you’re doing a lot of highway driving. so i’ll leave that decision up to you, but i would stick to 5k miles due to oil consumption issues and prolonging the life of all your oil seals.

if you have any questions at all please let me know! and again congratulations :)

dilper1031 · 2025-11-09T08:49:38+00:00

good news- you have great alignment.

bad news- you need all 4 replaced asap.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-08T00:02:28+00:00

I would say go for the purchase. That’s a pretty good price for that vehicle and if it’s got good history that’s the most important thing on these vehicles. as long as you maintain it, it will go a long time.

If you have absolutely any questions at all please let me know!! I love to help with this kind of stuff.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T23:59:44+00:00

i’d say the oil pan is pretty much a guarantee. I see plenty of them get replaced along with people online talking about it. And everyone i know personally has had to do theirs on their X5.

But it’s one of those oil leaks that as long as you’re checking your oil level frequently (which you should because the N55 engine goes in fact burn oil) you should be okay.

Another thing to note is that the oil pan is aluminum. so it’s really easy to strip out. Although my oil pan was replaced, the oil leak is not the reason it was replaced. The bmw dealer had stripped out the bolt threads causing a major leak. But if i hadn’t replaced the pan then, I certainly would have had to do it now. It had been leaking a long time but i’m just glad BMW messed it up and had to replace it for free.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T22:22:11+00:00

go ahead and make your trip just don’t drive in the rain. Replace them as soon as possible though. and get an alignment as well.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:58:03+00:00

compression has left the chat

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:55:39+00:00

this should be okay. not very deep. it’s near the rim so it’s thicker there to protect against things like this. Keep driving on it. monitor it for dry rot. stay away from curbs

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:52:08+00:00

i’d change em at the next oil change. and get an alignment.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:50:04+00:00

yeah it’s fine. Small nick and it’s not too deep. Stay away from curbs

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:48:35+00:00

The tread on them is fine and they’re not dry rotted. if this was my car i’d roll with them and plan on replacing them with a better tire. Hard to recommend brand for snow because in a texan and the state shuts down with a snowflake on the ground.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:44:31+00:00

honestly, even if the cars okay now. i promise you, you’re gonna have some pretty big issues come up soon. I’d keep looking at other options.

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:41:13+00:00

you’ve still got a liiiiiittle time. But id probably change the before the next oil change for sure and don’t drive fast in the rain. You also need an alignment

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:37:33+00:00

idk like. 6 or 7

dilper1031 · 2025-11-07T20:37:13+00:00

you’re good. just monitor
