This is my second Lexus; first was a 2007 RX400h. Love the brand and am usually impressed by the customer service at the dealerships (though not so impressed with the prices there!). Based in Maryland, will be posting pics soon.

I don't have extensive mod plans, just wanted a fun, comfortable, sporty daily driver and so far am very happy with this choice!

Great to see some of the things you all have done with your cars! So far I've done tint all around and on the DRL's with more to come.
Congrats and welcome both of you!

Hello everyone,

Picked up a 2020 IS 300 Black Line edition. Black exterior, two tone seats, blue indigo trim. This doesn't have memory seats, electric steering adjustment or ML sound system.

Second Lexus but first IS. Blast to drive. Windows tinted and swapped to RCF bushings. Planning on wrapping the chrome around the windows. Considering the RCF paddle shifters and the LC hybrid start button. Brake, suspension and wheels may come down the road but as is I'm quite content.

The knowledge on this board is incredible and I'm appreciative of everyone sharing.

Thanks!

That is my dream garage - SUV for doing family/off-roading things and the IS for daily driving and then some.

Seems like such a minor upgrade but I bet the feel is so much nicer. The boot and **** is nice too, though the blue is different from the blue in the black line trim. I thought about it but prefer the consistency of colours.

Smile My New IS300

Hi Everyone,
My name is Glen and I live in Australia. I am new to Lexus and this forum.
Just received my new 2021 IS300 F Sport last week, pictured below in my driveway. Now completed about 200km
Looking forward to enjoying many years with my new Lexus.

Default Hello. Hopefully I'm posting in the right place this time....

Hello everyone. Just joined Club Lexus. I recently sold my 2019 Lapiz Blue Golf R DSG and decided to get a new Lexus. I love the 360 camera, Mark Levison sound system, the adaptive dampers, BBS etc... I had to go all-wheel drive, because I live in Anchorage Alaska. I really think Lexus did an incredible job on the refreshed exterior! I don't have too many plans for it. To be honest, I really like it the way it is. I'm certainly not as ambitious as a lot of other members with all of their cool upgrades.

Today was my first full day of ownership. I had to take a pic.


On the way out of the delivery bay.

So sexy.

I absolutely love the mirrors.

One of the few pictures I took, before I said I'll think about it overnight.


I love that stereo!

Another pic

I had no idea you can control the IS via wear OS.

This must be a key....


I love the LFA inspired motorized LCD display.



The space I have between my 19 R1 and 21 IS.


My previos 2019 Lapiz Blue Golf R DSG.

Did they give you a card key along with two Smart Keys? Wow!

Nice scenario in the background of your first pic btw.
The car looks great too...Lexus knows how to nail blue of any kind IMO

Hi everyone! Just joined ClubLexus. I actually own Otakusan's old IS350. I will be adding updates to his build thread he originally created. The car is pretty much built, but I have couple plans with it 😁
