Whenever I think about what will replace this car, I look at a photo of it and start to question whether I need to replace it when it looks like this.

I recently saw a 2019 white/black LC500 with the DHP 20k miles for a little under 80k. I won't lie I started getting a little antsy about inquiring about it but it didn't take me long to remember that an LC would not be practical as an only/daily car (for my purposes anyways).

Was a nice thought though LOL

Tints make the car look a whole lot better.

Default Just picked up 2022 IS 500 F Sport Performance Premium Atomic Silver







RCF ARK Grip exhaust installed fits perfectly with the hangers, only needed roughly 4" extension from the axel back to make fit. Sound clip included.
Planning to powdercoat the wheels satin black, CF spoiler, maybe OE style CF hood? CF lip, diffuser etc. Not planning on any powertrain mods until manufacturer warranty is expired
As a previous owner of 2015 RC F I could not be happier with my new IS, my first drive with her nearly brought tears to my eyes from pure joy. Enjoy the pics, many more to come

Front fascia started separating, noticed this today.
Pretty bummed out, front bumper cover has ppf and a minor scrape on the bottom side I'm fearing they will deny warranty because of. 🙄

Awe I’m sorry to see this. 🫣😞

The separation is a known issue. From what I’ve seen over the last 16 months, most dealers do not go the “Sorry buddy but you scraped a curb, no freebies…”, route.

One guy here in Atlanta (IG: R0Bat) experienced the curb charge and had to run it up to corporate. They kept his car for a month to figure out a permanent fix and replaced the PPF afterwards. There’s a recent thread for this issue and I think there’s a contact number or link. Check it out and add your name to the list.

Good luck!

No freaking joke! People stop to look everywhere I go. A guy in my building called it a ‘beautiful machine’, which was significant because he drives a mint 1964 Corvette Stingray. He and his wife Summer in Ireland and the car is shipped there so he can participate in the local car clubs. So CLEARLY he knows what he’s talking about! 😂😂

Hell, I’m surrounded by run-of-the-mill Audis, Bimmers, Lexuses, Mercs, and Porsches, and the concierge staff ranked mine in the top 3 of good looks.

Survived our road trip. A little over 1,300 miles added (left home with under 1,700 miles haha) and picked up every flying bug west of the Mississippi but it was worth it.

LOL!! I remember something similar driving from OKC to ATL when I purchased my car. Got to the bogs of Arkansas around dusk and the flying creatures came out of nowhere! I just knew there’d be a ‘Help me! Help me!’ instance on my windshield. ::shudder:: Never again.

The pics are GREAT!

I've been waiting for ARK to come out wiht the is500 midpipe to order the whole kit wit exhaust. I wonder if any other mods were made from the RC-F. Also do you guys know if they usually sell a kit without the secondary cats?
