Well… my bespoke saga is over, and I’m officially joining the club.
I’ve been doing daily searches for late-model 2024+ LC 500s (mainly for the updated infotainment), and I came across a unicorn: Infrared with Toasted Caramel, Dynamic Handling Package, CF roof, Sport seats with Alcantara interior, Mark Levinson, HUD, All-weather; the whole package. More than the spec I had custom-ordered, minus the wait and uncertainty.
So, I’ve moved from the bespoke channel to a real car with a real VIN and a real delivery date. Couldn’t be happier. What started as a long, unclear ordering process turned into a fortunate find.
The pictures below are from the dealer's website, so they aren't very personal or high-resolution yet. But I'll post when she's ultimately delivered.
That's how I would want mine, the blacked out flower wheels look much nicer than the original, the silver showcasing the stepped cnc milling on the inside of the spokes is real nice and the toasted carmel interior is the only one for me.

I believe you are the first person on CL to post this opinion!
Although I prefer the original wheels I will admit that the new flower wheels look a bit better in person--they do NOT photograph well for some reason.

The optional multi spoke wheels are my preference although the base “flower” wheels have slowly grown on me. I could live with them.

Beautiful spec no doubt. I tried the new (reverse wheels) on my Atomic Silver...personally didn't like them as much as I thought I would on my car. 😏 They are nice on the red, though.

Patience IS a virtue....congrats! 👏🏾

The reverse wheels look much better on your red, to me!
I think your LC is gorgeous in all aspects. What a great reward awaited you, finally, after all frustrations. Unique, yours at last, and special. Merry Christmas and Joy on the road.
Edit: Screw Bespoke. Find your dream (or close-close) in the flesh and available.
