I have the same issue. If I EVER do get the "twitch" to divorce my LC, this will be a major factor. Consider this a blessing in a way. As I recall Odysseus's crew followed Sirens into difficulty, which I am prone to do,

 

Dropped off the katanas and mirror strips for blackout. Enough with the chrome already.

 

I don't blame you one bit. Wrap or paint for these?

 

My PPF shop recommended a paint shop, so I checked with them to see what it would cost to black everything out without me removing parts. For the front grille surround, katanas, mirror strips, and diffuser, the total came to $4,650.

I’m getting the grille surround, katanas, and mirrors done in vinyl. I’ll figure out what to do with the diffuser later.

 

What are the 2 plastic pcs on the right and left of the windshield called and snap in possibly?. Are anyone else's fading ? My LC is an 18 and is garaged from Mid Nov, to April but look cloudy.

 

I think is this piece

You are correct np. many thanks my friend.

 

When you're, "flying under the radar," OEM wing just isn't enough! 😂

 

Winter shoes are on.
I gotta say, I like these AS4 a lot better than the PS5. The AS4 are much quieter and I can enjoy the ride a lot better and the sound of the exhaust. The PS5 are loud when speed is over 40MPH. Granted, these AS4 are on 20” wheels and the PS5 are on 21” but still. I’m not sure what I’m going to do next Spring. I might just ride on these AS4. It makes the LC500 exhaust much more pronounced when there’s less road/tire noise.



I took the chance to clean and re-ceramic coat the Bespoke wheels before putting them away. I tell yah, if I had the split 10 spokes, I’m not sure I have the patience to do it. These split 5 spokes are not bad to clean and coat.

 

There is a fairly noticeable difference in road noise between a 20” wheel and a 21” wheel on the same tire….so that’s a chunk of what you’re saying.

 

@NickL
Folks who have the 21” Pilot All Season tires report that they’re definitely quieter than the Pilot Summer tires (And have longer wear).

 

I believe it.
My LC came with the PS5. After a summer and fall driving and about 4k miles, I put on the 20”AS4 after weeks of research for winter set up. I went with 20” because I couldn’t really find anything in stock size for 21” and I didn’t want to mount/unmount the tires on the bespoke wheels. I put on the AS4 and basically a week later, they started to treat the roads with salt so I put the LC on trickle charger until Spring. When spring came, I drove the AS4 for probably 2 weeks and probably racked up 100miles(maybe) and put on the PS5. I had a feeling the PS5 were louder but I wasn’t sure if it was just me since I’ve been driving the LS(so smooth and quiet).
Today, I decided to mount the 20” AS4 earlier so I can put some miles on them and to me, it was very noticeable.
My PS5 has less than 4500miles on them. Lol. I don’t think I’ll be swapping them out on the 21” wheels to find out.
Maybe I’m getting old(I just turned 41) but I’m starting to appreciate the smoother and quieter ride. Even the seats are starting to matter to me. The bolstering and hard seat on my RX F sport is starting to **** me off. My butt is liking the LS couch seat more and more. And this LC seats are in between.

 

^^^^I have Michelin PS4S on wider aftermarket wheels and do not notice the road noise you are experiencing As far as getting old - I'm more than twice your age

But - TO EACH HIS OWN

I think you just like what you like with different experiences. I'm turning 40 this year and I just made my car loud enough to deafen babies 😅

 

Haha. I’m the other way around. Because of the babies, getting into the LC is my truly “me” time. Hence the very low mileage on it.
