Dealer/Port options? Only thing I was interested in was the all-weather floor mats and wheel-locks. Everything else I believe most people are outsourcing; PPF, Ceramic, Tint, front skid protection, Cell phone mounts and seat-gap filler. Otherwise mine came with everything except the illuminated door sills, it has the carbon fiber ones.

Options…?

I think at this point in time you need to be grateful you even have a chance to get a new one!

Yes. No official press release, but confirmed through dealers with official letters and Lexus’s PR has confirmed with multiple websites/youtubers/etc.

At this point one is probably accepting whatever the vehicle comes with and not negotiating; 25.00 key gloves, 85.00 quick charge cables and 100.00 edge guard.

PPF, Ceramic, Tint are going to be locally procured. Seat gap, Cellphone holder, Scrape guard, cleaning supplies and personalizations (carbon fiber) are easily searched on the Forum.

Standard issues are the Lexus Build site; https://www.lexus.com/build/LCC/2026...&zipcode=48302

So got a line from same dealer on a Red/Carmel/Sand top 2026 on the boat and inbound at the end of the month.
Like the blue better but this is a bird in the hand. No "market adjustments" so sticker price.
Had a dealer in CA want an extra $35k on top of MSRP.. over $150k delivered....I just laughed.

Allocation means it's a car that Lexus decided to build and send to this dealer. It's theirs to sell / trade as they want. If your dealer commits to selling it to you for MSRP and you like the spec, I'd jump on it. There's a real risk right now of other dealers offering your dealer above MSRP so they can mark it up for a customer they have.

Here's ultrasonic blue with caramel interior, my car (a bespoke). Not sure if your car comes with the dark chrome trim or the black factory wheels.

Yep, so got first dibs on red/carmel/sand at the end of the month-no mark up-or will know by then if allocation for Blue/carmel/sand is approved and can pass on red and go with blue. Both NO MARK UP.
love the blue but red ain’t bad either.

Ultrasonic Blue is absolutely gorgeous. Deep sapphire blue with a hit of black undertone in softer lighting. Their red is the same, jewel tone ruby red with a darker undertone when hit right. Blue was my #1. Clouburst grey #2. And if I'd had to "settle" the red wouldve been next, followed by black. Silver & white are the worst LC colors (for me that is, and theyre still beautiful because they're LCs!).

You'll be great with either the red or blue!

Great news. My guess is that when you see it in person and perhaps before, during, and after as they peel the the shipping shrouds your smile/happy muscles will be hurting all night.

Ok, so still haven't heard if they will get the allocation for the Blue/carmel/sand LC. I do have first dibs on the Red/Carmel/Sand showing up next week.
I like the Blue exterior better but since i can't order what i want anymore...I'm not hip on the blue/Carmel as much but I've always liked a maroon/gold and the red/carmel is close to that.
Knowing the interior is Carmel for both....is Red the better exterior (and for sure coming) or the Blue (no word yet).
If there is no word on the Blue by April one I will just HAPPILY take the Red.
But I know me...i can't go look at a dog and NOT adopt him....I can't go look at the Red one and NOT take it...
