Looking good... I'd love to know what you use on the front emblem. I still can not find one I 'love'...

I have a gloss black vinyl circle with a matte black L on it that I got off of Etsy.

There is also the option of using a tinted overlay to give it a black chrome look through the dark tinted overlay.

You blacked out the mirror trim? Doesn't all 500's come with black trim?

Would definitely recommend NIA body kits. You can get the emblem to match your cars color too.

Yeah the black stainless steel. I tried to let it grow on me. One day I approached it from an angle and it just stuck out like a sore thumb. Definitely happy with the swap.

Default Titanium!

Last week, I put in a titanium stud conversion kit. I did this mainly for the look, and it helps tie in the TOM'S titanium exhaust tip. As I take my wheels off, I swap out the 20mm spacer in the back and replace it with a 15mm one. Due to the stock camber, the 20mm setup sticks out a tad more than I liked. Now, I am running 15mm spacers for the front and rear. I hope the titanium studs are more secure than the extended steel bolts. But there will definitely be more work (re-torque the studs) in the future when taking the wheels off.

It is from B0N0SS (replace 0 with O). You can google search these key words: "Forged Titanium Exposed Lexus Wheel Stud Conversion Kit for 2023 – 2024 IS/ NX/ RX/ RZ/ LC"
The forum filters the manufacturer name and link.
