That sounds reasonable. I might use that shop since they are obviously familiar with the car.

I was thinking I would stick with 21's but 22's look great. Let me know if there are any rubbing issues. This would be my daily. Also, do you have the offset of the wheels?

I saw a post with some inspiration series parts. Is that what you're going off of or do you have a list? It's the one thing that really bugs me about Lexus. So much chrome. Ever considered wrapping the chrome instead?

Beautiful!!
I’m guessing you really like the Caviar paint.
I’m awaiting my first ever black car in Caviar to be delivered. I’m a little skeptical and anxious about keeping it clean but hey, everyone needs to own a black car in their lifetime right?

I swore I'd never again after having 3 black cars previously (last one with full Opti-Coat Pro+ ceramic wasn't so bad, tho still a swirl magnet), but after experiencing full PPF on my LC and how easy it is to keep clean and swirl free, I would absolutely consider it again if it's a vehicle I can budget in an extra $7500+ to PPF.

What are you taking delivery of?

PPF changes a lot of things. I used to dread washing the car. But with PPF and ceramic coating, I can spray it down and leaf blow it off with minimal contact. And I also can wipe it down with a water-less washing solution and dry it off. Any swirls created from doing that can be healed with a heat gun lightly going over it.
I'll send you a PM on the new vehicle I'm acquiring.

Caviar is a gorgeous color! My 3rd Lexus in this color and not hard to maintain at all. Has so much metallic in it. Once you see it in sunlight you will appreciate it much more especially after detailing it.

You'll be fine! Great choice

Yup this is what I find myself often doing. It'll swirl sometimes as you mention but a little heat or half a day in the sun and it's gone. I guess one day they won't heal when the self-healing stops working but we'll cross that bridge lol.

I just drove past a caviar IS500 in the parking lot at the mall and you are so right!! In full sun it was almost a different color altogether, very sparkly!

The TOM'S kit is shaping up nicely. Wheels are on point.
