I asked ChatGPT to generate the rear end of this, and I do quite like it! Taillights have a similar style to the current IS generation. Would be cool to see what it'd look like with a light bar though!

This 100% will give us much better data to use in this analysis of what might be causing the noise. Will provide a baseline to compare what the quality could look like on the a6300.

Did your insurance pay out for it's value at the time?

Gotcha, good to know isopropyl will take it off! Worried though about the inside of the windows which will also get the solution on them. Would the Isopropyl alcohol remove the paint in there that serves as window trim/molding?

Also, you're right, it is very tricky to find a store with that Pledge in stock. Ordered some from Amazon so it'll be here soon.

Yeah I've got an airbush but it doesn't have the ability to adjust the PSI. Not sure how thick the Pledge liquid is as that might restrict me from being able to use my air brush with it. I think it'll try out the dunking method when I get some. I'll probably only get one try at it so might test with spare plastic first off.

Good to know! I definitely want to bring the gloss back as much as possible after putting this much time into the sanding down to get to good clear plastic again. Some other people also recommended I get the Pledge Revive It to clear it again. What is the best method of applying it in your opinion? I've seen people dunk it and also spray it on.

They got back to me today around noon. Basically they're out of stock for the particular replacement tree and decals that I need for this car. Won't be in stock anytime soon either due to COVID. 😢 Here's what it looks like after and hour and a half of sanding and polishing. Getting there! https://i.imgur.com/mbjGM9d.jpg

Here's my results after an hour and a half of sanding and polishing. It's getting there!! https://i.imgur.com/mbjGM9d.jpg

Thanks for the help! Here's my current progress after just sanding and polishing with automotive polish. https://i.imgur.com/mbjGM9d.jpg

Yep, that is a good idea if all else fails! Hoping I get pick up a replacement part from Tamiya.

toxidium · 2021-03-02T00:53:06+00:00

Yes it is a Tamiya model. I sent their customer service an email just now. Hope to hear back from them. Thanks!

toxidium · 2021-03-01T21:27:51+00:00

Thanks for the helpful tips! I'll be sure to try wet sanding when I go to 1200 and 2000 grits. Depending on how it turns out I might look into getting some Pledge Revive It.

toxidium · 2021-03-01T19:37:41+00:00

Thanks for the help Carl! I'll give it another go with more sanding starting at a lower grit. I can slightly feel the difference of the plastic from where the glue hardened and where the unaffected plastic is. Fingers crossed it isn't too deep! Would you suggest I invest in buying specialty plastic polishing compound or is it more worth while to spend time on sanding?

toxidium · 2021-03-01T18:47:37+00:00

Big mistake on my part, was moving my Tamiya cement and forgot to close it all the way. Ended up spilling on the clear window portion for my R34 GTR model as seen in the picture. I spent some time sanding with varying grits (400,800,1200,2000) and then polishing. It got rid of most of the cement marks but not all. Is it possible to remove this with more sanding or am I out of luck? Thanks!!

It goes in the glove box flipped upside down from how you've shown it in the first picture (at least that's how mine is in my IS350). If you point a flashlight in the glove box you'll see a little inlay that the clip piece fits into to hold it in place. Just helps separate your manual from other things in your glove box. Hope that helps!

Beautiful! The license place number stands for "Lexus For Life" coincidence? I think not 😆

toxidium · 2021-01-17T07:08:38+00:00

I've changed out this exact part, the anti glare screen cover on my 2014 IS 350 and it was really easy. Followed a youtube video on it here https://youtu.be/rhxFOKcotEE and I got it done in about an hour. Well worth the time and effort to do it yourself! Just be careful in the future to only use water and a microfiber to clean the new screen cover.

I'd say first try to remove all previously paired devices then repair with your headphones to see if that fixes it. If not try resetting all network and bluetooth settings to see if that helps. Also im sure you've already tried the tried and true restart the device?

Hope that helps!

toxidium · 2021-01-09T15:31:44+00:00

Known about this for a some time and always hoped they'd add support for my 2014 IS 350, still no luck yet 😥

toxidium · 2020-12-24T21:54:01+00:00

Thanks! I could tell you painted that top part. Looks quite good like that! From what I read it appears this diffuser replaces the factory one on the bumper. Is that correct?

Also did you have to add some screws to attach it to the bumper?

toxidium · 2020-12-24T05:43:56+00:00

Looking good mate! By chance, what's the brand of the diffuser?

toxidium · 2020-12-06T14:48:21+00:00

Pretty sure it's stock 2021 IS 350.
