Lol tell me about it! I'm going to have a garage full of car parts before I even buy it. NIA body kit arrives tomorrow. Carbon Fiber engine cover, intake, and heat shield; billet aluminum battery bracket and oil cap, and Air/Oil Separator all getting ordered next week from RR-Racing. Swift lowering springs and wheel spacers as well.

Also plan to get a lightweight battery and full titanium catback exhaust to help with weight savings but that's going to be several months out. Will hold-off on headers and tune for at least a year.

Car should be looking good by end of Jan at least tho.

Still shocked there hasn't been a legit actual photo of vector blue yet. I know it's supposed to be the same as flame blue, but I still want to see it on the car.

Obviously these aren’t the best quality pictures and they don’t show the overall interior, but first impressions for me are that the blue stitching is too dark and doesn’t match the exterior blue. It’s more of a USB stitching tbh. Regardless, I’m happy Lexus actually did something in the interior unlike the 2023 Molten Pearl. That would’ve been a really really nice orange interior…

Is it just me or do the mirrors look all black instead of half body color/half black? Is that a cover for shipping purposes?

If they were only automatic/power folding instead of manual folding...sigh. They are supposed to be different from the 2023 and earlier model years.

Dealers are starting to post 2024 models on their websites. I have a deposit down, but still don't see the color combo I want (Incognito with white interior)..

I like that exterior blue color matching stitching which is unique to the Special Appearance package model 2024 MY Blue Vector unlike Molten Pearl, but guess what ? My Ultra White IS 500 has same white stitching inside, i.e matching with the exterior paint hah
