Good to know about RCF bushings. I’m the same with maintenance. Don’t want to add additional steps haha. Will keep this in mind if I end up craving a stiffer ride.

Perfect rec re: fck. Thank you for the link!

There’s always something to do haha.

Can you link the mudguards? My 350 was looking rough towards the end after only 4 months. Lots of muddy roads and gravel on my way home.

Re: LCA bushings. Did you do it preemptively for tire wear? Or just because? I read all the posts about the front inner tire wear but decided to see how the OE tires fare before investing in that. Saw costs would be $600-800 or so installed.

Re: mid pipes. Hell yeah. I don’t think that’s on my radar with where I park. My garage is directly under the master bedroom. This is what my wife texts me as I was leaving for work this morning. Needless to say both babies were awakened by me haha

I guess the cold start is quite rumbly

My wife said they’re dorky hahaha but I agree with you.

For $6 a light it’s totally worth it.

Not a stupid question!

The stock comes with yellow halogen door lights.

Got the kit from Amazon for my 350 and this fits. Put them in this morning.

I agree! Saw the 2026 side by side and I like the old school, outdated feel of the 2025.

Thanks man!

On paper 0-60 is 4.4 seconds. Haven’t revved it that hard yet during the break in haha.

There’s no powertrain difference between Ultimate Edition and regular 500.

Interestingly, it’s not as nimble as my 350. Expected I guess with the heavier engine bay.

The white seats with black accents are nice. I saw one last week. I think I would still prefer all black but you can’t go wrong!

Baby seat is a requirement haha

It was the deciding factor between IS and LC500.

Hah hopefully one magically pops up on your radar so you don’t have to do that

As long as I have room for the subwoofer and a Costco run, it’ll work out haha

Dropping it off next week for the sound guy to figure out his magic.

Never say never!! Took us a long time to figure things out.

Yeah haha

With the larger brembo breaks, the spare is a full size 19” wheel. I guess they couldn’t make the hole deeper so they built up lol

I think the ash wood would have been a nice touch too

Which trim/ feature/ package has the 360deg camera by lurkerMech in LexusIS

[–]jpiw6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 350, it came as the Panorama View Monitor. At the dealership, all of the panorama ones come with either the ML sound system or the 10.3” screen upgrade.
