For the US, we have a service at 1000 miles and another at 5000 miles. The 5000-mile guy is the first oil change.
ya the first inspection, my next one will be 8000km or December w/ the first oil change, LOL dealer wasn't too happy about the tow hook license plate, they said they had to wash the car by hand, I was like I don't mind that lol..

Ha! Yeah I am telling them NOT to wash mine, though it will probably be dirty since we're forecasted to see storms off and on all week.

I have my first oil change on Friday. It is a little early at just under 3,000 miles, but this car has been through some adventures already... being cold-started a lot at the body shop, and driven hard in the mountains. I probably should have done it sooner.

I'm at 2400 km (~1500 miles). I think I'll do mine fairly soon. For some reason, the frequency of spirited driving has increased significantly lately. why ? I try not to cheap out on oil changes.

I am in the same boat. I was okay driving it like a grandpa for the break-in period, but boy howdy, how my habits have changed!

Installed the Seibon c/f spoiler. Looks pretty sick IMO.

I recently did 5% tint all around and installed the CF mirror caps I had in my IS350 onto my 500. Still waiting in my Motorsports Hardware stud conversion kit so I can mount my Advan RG3s onto my 500 as well.

Not sure yet tbh. I originally wanted to trade them with one of my friends with an IS350 DHP cause BBS lol. But given these are colored from factory i might hold on to them from a bit. Plus I'm from Orange County/Riverside area, so that kinda far if I'm being honest.

makes sense. i feel like IS500's in socal outnumber the bay area 5:1 when i look for sales, dealers, and parts. I don't like any of the IS350 rims, and not a fan of the tuning fork BBS, so i think you'll find a buyer if you sell to the non IS500 crowd.

There's a few out here tbh but very spaced out. I don't really plan on selling them, maybe trade but not sell. I would like to have a second set of wheels just in case. I mean if anything I might throw them onto my 2020 IS350 just to see what they'll look like.
