So I used plastidip luxury black sapphire metallic to do it. It came out pretty good for $15 and I like the look a lot (much cleaner IMO). The paint is a satin black that closely matches the finish of the wheels, plus has some metallic flake to match the metallic in the USB.
I will eventually delete the chrome exhaust cutouts and replace with quad tips to complete the chrome delete on the rear.

Well done, it should have come like that from the factory. I have never understood why they designed the exhaust finishers like that.
Beautiful - Best of Luck Has Lexus removed the hybrid identification on the rear flanks?

I'm sad to say that they have. I'm not sure why. In fact, they have also replaced the blue (indicating hybrid) L badge on the front and the back with the standard L badge. The only thing that identifies it as a hybrid is the LC500h on the back. I think they started doing that with the 2024 models of the LC.
I will give you big bucks for your wheels.

Ha ha! My original order was cancelled because Lexus said they couldn't guarantee getting the 10-spoke wheels. So I put in the new order without the wheels, and they showed up anyway! I will be stopping by the dealership later today to see if I lucked out with Michelins, or if they gave me Dunlops instead.

In your pic they are Michelins.
From what I've come to surmise they are putting the Dunlops on the standard wheels, but any form of "upgraded" wheel gets the PSS5s. My local dealer had a bespoke come in with the standard wheel, got the dunlops. My bespoke that came in the following week got the PSS5s.
Congrats on the hybrid.
May I ask why the hybrid and not the V8? Purely for gas mileage?
I never driven a hybrid before. Actually, I’ve never seen one available in this area since the LC came out.
