Finally done for now. 2022 convertible; got it from the dealership with 2000 miles. It was given to Kyle Larson from Lexus to drive as the first 2022 convertible in California. I wanted to be different and received many hate reviews on this forum, but I’m glad I don’t care what other people think! Wheels, I tried to stand out, so I went with 24” Forgiatos 24x10 with 275/23/23 and 24x9 with 255/25/24. When tire replacement came, the companies that made these sizes were no longer around, so I ended up going 275/25/24 all around. Rides great. I went with 20% tint all around and 35% on the front, full clear body wrap. I added a front camera for the parking (curbs/big parking blocks). I bit the bullet and bought an Armytrix exhaust Lexon rear diffuser with carbon fiber tips. Love it! It is operated remotely and has 3 positions. (Closed, open on high RPM, wide open. I also added the Bluetooth Lexus pedal commander, which is a game changer in throttle lag. It's all gone!! New at dealership Straight to tint shop Tint shop with clear full body PPG wrap.

These cars don't have a turbo. It's a 5.0L naturally aspirated V8. Hence the "500" in LC500. And all that pedal commander does is simulate you mashing the throttle pretty much all the time. Take it out, mash the throttle all the time and you'll get the same result.

I stand corrected on the turbo lag and used it as a reference, should of been throttle lag, but good looking out on the details i will correct it, and i fired my assistant, thanks

i would love to see one installed also, but hey i will keep looking at all these photos of factory LC where people added wax or changed the wipers, or bought a sun shade, or got the new color for 2025, they impress me alot.
Nice mods! Do you know if I can keep the stock exhaust and get the tips only? I have a stocked 23 convertible LC.
That's right! Do your thing the way you want it, dont give it a 2nd thought about what others think. I wish I could afford some of those expensive mods you have. My 23 LC Convertible still stock, but I'm looking at a couple items. Anyway... looking forward to seeing what you do next! Enjoy!!!
remove the chrome housings on both sides to make room for tips.
I bought the Armytrix and had it installed and haven't purchased a diffuser yet.
To do that you need to remove those chromse housings.
You can can get away with not having one.
find tips that fit
same. I removed the chrome housing and attached tips to stock exhaust. I am getting armytrix installed later this month and will find similar tips to bolt on to that, not going back to the housing (if I ever did I would paint it black first anyway) and am keeping the stock rear diffuser.
Done for now!
