Default Is There Any LEXUS Magazines Or Anything?

Something I could get at 7-11?

And if not, is there any specific magazine that would be more likely to have LEXUS products in it?

Thanks

There is also "VIP Car" but like "VIP Style," it is a Japanese magazine that they have at a Japanese bookstore near where I live. These magazines show a lot on the Lexus LS and GS more than they do IS though.

I have that Lexus IS & GS one too! I had to go to a local Japanese bookstore and have them special order one.

I saw it online in the first place but the website was Japanese so I couldn't order it from the website.

Only downside of these Japanese magazines I will warn you is the PRICE
Ive found awesome mods for interior / exterior but the parts were from japan and in Yen. They had an LED "L" on some Japanese website that looked amazing. I converted the Yen to USD and it was about $200 without shipping or tax. Also those types of things are illegal in the US. They have awesome mods but it bummes me out knowing they make something I want that I can't have. So I've strayed away from looking into international mods.

i know what you mean. i think junack sells them. they look really cool, but the price isn't nice and there are far more effective mods that can be done to the car to make it look prettier. on one hand, im glad there's not a lexus mag out there because of all the sick rides and great mods to be done, thus making the wallet happy. on the other hand, bmw has its own magazine, "bimmer" i think (?). not really a big deal, as i never see it sell out in comparison to magazines like PAS or import tuner.
