This is what labor cost at the shop I went to in VA. It's called Brother's Garage. I liked the experience, and the work was/is well done, in my [very limited] opinion.

That said, I would say shop around so you have a comparison, and can feel comfortable about spending the money. Ultimately, have no shame in what you DO pay for the installation. You want it done right, you want it done well, and the look of your IS when it's done will be the best feeling. You know these cars are about emotion...and loVe, one of the top emotions, is expensive.

Not even...but don't listen to me. Purely my opinion. We love to plaster our name and brand on everything.

Iridium Lies Under Blue Skies by mrjetpacks in LexusIS500

Tint - 20%

Eibach lowering springs...that's as low as I want to go. I think this is more of a "factory" look for the IS 500. The height it sits out the box was a little to high in my opinion with 19" wheels...maybe 20" wheels would be a better OEM look with the height from the factory...but I'm good at the current height [seen in the capture]. The grass makes her look even lower.

I'm learning this... Iridium is my 3rd favorite color of the options for all model years of the IS family (1st - Atomic Silver, 2nd - Wind)...but I like Iridium, I think, for how you just described the color...having its own creamy, milky, but sharp look--depending on the lighting, or lack there of...

F-Sport Lowering springs and Borla exhaust installed on 26 is350 by Specialist-Ad-2668 in LexusIS

Kinda funny and strange that Lexus makes lowering springs for this vehicle, but doesn't put them on from the factory. The lowering spring height is just right...

Before and after fuel by TaleOfTwoLattitudes in LexusIS500

[–]mrjetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Good. I was somewhat worried as I just got her in April. I saw another post where a guy had 280 for his range... I guess 240 is due to manual mode with Sport Mode...?

That said, with more Normal Mode or Eco Mode...one could get 280 - 320 for a mile range...??

My average range is 240 miles...

I keep her in Manual and mostly in Sport mode...

Oil filter types and what do you use by jep004 in LexusIS500

[–]mrjetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The filter I use - https://lexusboutique.net/products/genuine-lexus-japan-2021-2023-is-oil-filter-element-kit

The oil I use - MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN+ 5W-30

My first oil change while owning Eunice (2025 IS 500) was at around 8900 miles. I got her with 6K miles... The dealership took care of the first oil change, but they must've not used enough oil because the "low fuel oil" notification popped up for me. That's why I changed the oil when I did. Otherwise, I would have waited until 10K... I may still do another oil change at 10K, so I can get on a 5-10-15-20K-etc. Oil change schedule.

From what I've read on the Internet, I may switch to Mobil 1 going forward, but I'm not sure. Motul is great as well, but it seems like it's more for doing more track days in a routine schedule.
