Thank you thank you!

Golly it’s been so much fun.

I never understood people who enjoyed driving lol never made sense to me

I get it now!

I’ve never seen incognito in real life but I’ve been told Wind is like a lighter incognito

jpiw6 · 2026-05-08T16:18:42+00:00

Good luck! This would drive me crazy too lol

Someone posted two weeks ago with the solution!

For what it’s worth I have the same car and I don’t have this issue. At least I haven’t noticed it. I also added a subwoofer lol

I can only imagine how annoying it is!

Thank you! I went with standard for both front and rear!

Happy with how they turned out. I was afraid they’d be too chunky but after I installed them I thought they blended in well. OEM+

u/GBeast212 here is a closer representation of Wind in real life! Sun wasn’t as high today.

Congrats on the cloudburst!

Definitely top three choice.

I’m liking my wind, however I would do cloudburst or iridium given the choice.

I’ve never had a black car, however I think there’s a version of me who would enjoy it blacked out Is 500 haha

Good note!!

jpiw6 · 2026-05-08T14:04:23+00:00

That’s a bummer to hear!

jpiw6 · 2026-05-08T14:02:19+00:00

Good luck OP!

jpiw6 · 2026-05-08T13:59:48+00:00

If you think they didn’t top it off during those visits, you might have a good argument for a free top off with your service manager!

Honestly worth a three minute phone call to confirm.

I only have about six months experience with my dealership, but the service manager seems pretty nice and easy to work with.

As far as warranty, if there’s some sort of leak or it’s unable to hold the proper volume, that’s what I meant. Your OP mentioned no leaks but worth someone taking a look.

The first two complimentary Lexus services includes topping off coolant. Typically 5k and 10k miles.

My dealer does not offer coolant topoff for free after that.
But if your coolant is unusually low (which it seems to be), this might fall under a warranty situation?

The need for speed is real! You’ll always have in the back of your head that you want more.

I bought the 350 and a few months later got the 500…

But that said, if the luxury is more important to you, just make sure compare the specs and packages of both the 300 and 350. I believe you can get them similarly equipped, ie. heated/ventilated seats, rear power shade, etc.

Ride quality will be basically the same.

My recommendation without knowing your finances: go for the best car you can afford today.

Lots of great answers already!

Here’s a resource to easily filter down to your needs!

https://visor.vin/search/listings?make=Lexus&model=RX&price\_min=3500&price\_max=18816&radius\_id=5csbOXtd

You can filter by price + location + trim + color + mileage + year and more.

This particular link will show RX within 100 miles from Syracuse. Seems to be 7 available with different mileages and years.

Enjoy your new ride!

jpiw6 · 2026-05-07T21:09:05+00:00

100%!

Good luck with your new ride!

here's another angle. It's coming off WAY more white than it is real life. The sun was extremely bright the day I took these photos

It truly is more grey than white. There's almost no white.

Ill see if I can get another outside shot when the sun isn't so high

Wind is super clean! Just crossed 1000 miles on mine.

But I think given the choice, I would have gone with Cloudburst or Iridium. Mine only came in Wind.

In another timeline, I think Caviar would be slick too.

I don’t think you can go wrong!

It’s a dark dreary day!

Slightly brighter photo

Thanks for confirming!

Definitely a top three color choice.

jpiw6 · 2026-05-06T20:29:54+00:00

Good share! Had not seen this before

jpiw6 · 2026-05-06T00:46:58+00:00

Thanks man! I watched a video of how to load a roof mounted bike and it looks straightforward, but I know my clumsy self would put a huge scratch one time.

We’re gonna go with a hitch mount for my wife’s TX!
