Default Flaguy 2024 Blue Vector IS500

Swapped my 21 IS350 Infrared for a 2024 Blue Vector IS500 on Dec 22nd. I will probably update this frequently for the next month and less as time goes. I bought the majority of the stuff I wanted before I bought the car so most of the parts are at the house already. Without further ado....

Engine cover looks good. Hope you don't mind me using those pics.

Looking good so far. Any plans for an exhaust? If so, which?

Original plan was for RRracing valvetronic, but decided to hold off for Borla. Just not sure when they're going to release it for sell yet.

I can make you a pretty sweet deal on the Bazooka. We have such good feedback on it. PM me anytime if interested.

I think I am late on saying congrats! Looks like we got our cars from the same dealership, Nalley Lexus Smyrna. Nice dealership overall.

I don't think I've ever seen that RR Racing engine cover. That thing looks tough!

Yup, love that dealer. Straight up, no BS. They weren't even doing markups a year or two ago when everyone was. Not on IS500 at least.

Engine cover looks great, pics don't do it justice. Really looking forward to installing the carbon fiber intake and heat shield to go with it. Just waiting till I put a bit of mileage on it first and it goes to dealer for first service. I'll install after that.

Looks good once spring comes swap the tires to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s (Summer Tires). They make a huge difference & the oem Potenzas should be discarded.
