Also I have to say I wonder sometimes if it would've been too much blue if my wife and I both had blue cars. I guess Grecian Water is far enough off of Portimao Blue that it wouldn't clash too much?
Iridium looks great in person though. Especially when it's outside and it catches the blue from the sky.
It all boils down to personal preference of course... but I think Grecian Water only looks good in photographs but is very underwhelming in person. It only pops in direct sunlight and it's especially muddy or wax-like on cloudy days or in the shadows. I've nicknamed the color "dirty water". No offense to you Grecian Water fans/owners out there. I think it's a weird shade of blue.

Honestly, Grecian water looks like a washed out ultrasonic blue mica 2.0. Like that's how USB will look in 10 years. No thanks. Grecian water also reminds me of this (lol):

Yeah, I'd never get a blue car. First off, I'm not a fan. And second, they don't age well imo. When it comes to the IS colors, I'd only go with one of Black/Atomic Silver/Cloudburst grey/White

My previous experience with those mute colours eventually got quite boring. I’ve had white, silver and black cars in the past I decided to take a risk and got the USB 2.0 with the 2021 IS… I was worried at first but when it landed. Wow. Throw on a Carpro Reserve ceramic coating and it’s eye popping. Catches eyes everywhere I go. It’s a colour you have to see in person simply put.

I'm supposed to be bringing my car in to have the Feynlab 5 year coating done this coming week...I can't wait to see how Infrared pops after the paint correction and ceramic. Lexus is definitely nailing it with the vibrancy of USB 2.0 and Infrared. The candy-like nature of it is amazing.

Chock front wheels, jack up the rear from the differential, place jack stands at the rear pinch welds, remove the x4 14mm flange bolts, slide mufflers off the rubber hangers. Install new muffles in the reverse order.
I just went in to have mine installed this past weekend (ordered with my car, but apparently they were on backorder). Definitely a noticeable change, but not so much that it sounds ridiculous. The extra deep sound on cold start is fantastic...I can't imagine trying to capture it on video. It's really a perfect match for the car. The quality is also top-notch...I'm very curious if Fujitsubo makes these for Lexus, because the quality is very similar. 100% recommended to any other 2021+ owner. Weather was iffy after install, so I'll have to get some better photos after the car is detailed up this week.
^ Agreed! USB 2.0 and Infared are really beautiful colors. I've drooled over USB for yeeaars, but I'd most likely go with Infared a) when getting a brand new IS, and b) providing that I could be picky about it.
Anyways... found another lowered DHP and wanted to share. This one is on RSR Downs apparently.
VitorrioS - That drop is just perfect in my opinion!! Not overdone, very tasteful and just makes the stance of the 2021 that more menacing without being over the top!! Great work and will be curious to see the response to question raised by macmaster. I vowed I would never install lowering springs as aftermarket items but darn this looks good
Also waiting on front and rear anti-roll bars to pair nicely with it.
