OMG hahaha 🤣. Brilliant. I guess you were either the first person in Georgia to have an IS500, or the first not to assume a personalized plate so literal was “clearly somebody has taken that one already so why even bother asking.” Lmao

It's actually a secret Police friendly license plate. It's on a blue car and the plate secretly says IS 5 Oh, Oh? 5-0! So it's an attempt at a get out of jail free card for speeding.

God willing, I’ll never need to use that card. 😳😂 We do short bursts, no sustained speeds for miles on end.

I googled ideas before I settled on one and then checked availability.

This is so very true. Don't let "perfect" be the enemy of "good enough". Something will always be better. Enjoy the thing for what it is.

Anti Gravity battery installed. Super quick cranking, super quick starts, ac doesn’t dip down anymore when making turns.

PCS and some other lights are slowly flashing now. I’m assuming these will go away after some time since the battery was swapped.

Eddie,(LexxusGSF on Instagram) is designing me a big brake kit which has a full size 4 pot brake caliper in the rear with a secondary EPB caliper to retain the EPB function. I really don’t even want to do this because I don’t want to lose the running bet among my friends and coworkers that I will or won’t mod this car. But these factory brakes suck. The pad area is so small for how big of an engine this car has and how much it weighs.

does he plan on building more than one set? Would be interested in buying as well. I hate the boring black callipers. Trying to be patient, waiting for a full bbk set compatible with the parking brake.

I got the 60AH battery, so 1800 cold cranking amps, it weighs 18.6 lbs. You could also get the 40AH battery with 1500cca's and only weights 15.6lbs but I don't care. I wanted all the starting power I could get.

Not sure on the factory battery weight, but probably about 40lbs lighter.

This thing starts like an LFA with how quickly the starter spins now. Starts much easier and quicker. AZ kills batteries, so lithium is a must. And these batteries have self jump starting built in.
