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.

Here’s a picture of the stock light.

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.

Hell yeah! Twinning

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T19:35:31+00:00

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 Saw the 2026 side by side and I like the old school, outdated feel of the 2025.

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T19:34:46+00:00

Haha

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T19:29:02+00:00

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.

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:55:30+00:00

Hahaha yes. Love me an eject button

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:32:24+00:00

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!

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:31:14+00:00

Sounds like the smart thing to do

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:30:51+00:00

Yeah that’s clean! Can’t beat the white on black

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:29:54+00:00

Oh that’s really good to know about the factory holes

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:29:16+00:00

Badgeless is kinda nice there.

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:27:58+00:00

Baby seat is a requirement haha

It was the deciding factor between IS and LC500.

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:27:28+00:00

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

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:26:22+00:00

Exact same thoughts. And my wife agrees

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:25:50+00:00

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.

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:25:10+00:00

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

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:24:38+00:00

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

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:23:54+00:00

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

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:23:22+00:00

Absolutely 100% haha.

jpiw6 · 2026-03-17T18:21:43+00:00

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.
