Congrats after a long wait! The color on this car is the best out of Lexus entire lineup of ultrasonic blue offerings. It looks good on the rc-f also, but not this good.

To be fair a shade over 4 months is a pretty good turn around

Yes the colour is amazing inside & better out in the sun, can't believe its mine

It's amazing out in the full sun, and in overcast it looks like such a deep blue even though you lose the sparkle of the metallic. I have found it stunning in all lighting tbh!

​​​​​​​Any plans for ppf? Or ceramic?

Thanks, absolutely, just puts a massive smile on your face

My initial description of the car still stands from first seeing it in person & most likely will stay, naturally for a Kiwi it uses an unprintable adjective

It is utterly amazing to me how big of a smile comes from just hitting that little START button.

Interesting you have Headlamp washers, was that an option? My 23 (bought this year new) does not have them and I can't find anything in the US brochures about them as an option, maybe it's only International?

I want to say in AUS/NZ it is an equipment requirement for newer cars, feel like I read that obscure fact somewhere

I’ve had my LC for almost 4 years and it has never seen rain either. 🙃
