I would imagine the VIN is probably correct. Just not the pic. Like I said my guess is they simply use a pic of an old car they used to have on the lot that fits the specs (color, wheels etc). Then again they couldn't even get that right considering they used a 500 pic for a 350

Confirm black chrome mirror trim on ‘24 model

dealer said that there are only 21 cars across the nation at this time. Just noticed even bottom half of mirror is black as well.

Was afraid of the all black. The black chrome looks great, but they should have kept the two tone paint.

Agreed. Each year carries subtle changes that makes me super glad to have a 2022.

Black Enkei instead of silver enkei and dark plastic trim around the clock and vents versus silver trim on the 2022

I’d rather have the black interior trim as well. If anyone w/a 23 wants to trade, hit me up. Though I don’t think the trim around the vents can come off.

I’m def changing out the window trim when the p/n is available

The window trim? It should be the same. Do you mean the mirror trim?

Yep…and the dashcam. It’s just too prominent for my taste.

I actually like the satin chrome trim better than black geometric, but I could take or leave the darker trim elsewhere in the car.

Trim:

2021 IS 350 F Sport

Vents:

Not sure if this was shared before, apologies if it has been. But on the Lexus Canada site you can choose Blue Vector color in 360 view / drag and rotate. I know it’s still not the real world images of it. But thought it was neat either way. Wonder why it’s not viewable on the US site.

Pretty cool man, thanks.

I think we are very close to having actual pictures. Probably this week. There are two dealers in LA that are showing in stock and not in transit on the Lexus site...but I contacted both and neither has actually landed on the lot yet.

16 dealers are showing in transit within 500 miles of LA. Only 2 within 500 miles of Atlanta. West coast dealers will definately land them first.

I actually was able to see one in person at LA Auto Show. Color is pretty much what we've seen on the toyota models, however the body lines sorta remind me of Yas Marina Blue lol. Its interesting to say the least.
