Thanks! I got a really good price on the vehicle. I was shopping the entire state due to low inventory in Central FL but this one came in stock in Winter Park and loved the Iridium/Circuit Red combo once I saw it in person. Came from a 2019 Camry XSE V6 in Windchill Pearl/Midnight black roof with Cockpit Red interior and wasn’t sure I wanted red again, but completely happy with the decision.

Awesome!! Congrats again! I looked at Lexus of Orlando and was hoping they would get one in since my daughter lives there but they never received the one that was listed as "in transit" on their website. It seems that if it's a car that's NOT on their lot, they don't appear very interested in finding it for you. Not like it was in the "good ol days" when they would bend over backwards.

Default 25,000 Miles(tone)...

I know the 'Club 77' IrIS Photo Thread is typically intended for exterior photos, but I thought these were worthwhile... (smile)

Ready for some driving after a deep clean, front PPF, ceramic coating. Windows 35% sides and back. Just crossed 600 miles since brining it home...621 is just around the corner!

Congrats, that silver looks insane! It's super bright for a silver color. Probably my second favorite after Iridium.

How much of the front did you get PPF on? I had the dealership do it and all they put on was a partial hood/fender/mirror cover, while leaving the bumper completely uncovered. Not worth the $2k. Unfortunately once you get ceramic coat put on, you have to remove that ($$$$) before you can get any new ppf back on.

Awesome man! Looks amazing! Had the same done to mine and it never needs washing. Just wipe it down from time to time! Does yours have the red guts? We're almost car twins!

Mine has the black interior. Really like the circuit red interior, it was a tough choice!

PPF is front bumper including all the black trim and Lexus badge, headlights, full hood, full front fenders (removed emblem and replaced), mirrors, rocker panels, door handle cups, and B-pillars.

These pics impressed me so much we're picking up a 2024 RX 500h in Iridium this weekend!

Such a beautiful color!

No kidding! Don’t think I’ve seen the new RX in IR.

Now you have 😁

This thing is great! The old RX was very floaty, this one is smoother and more connected at the same thing. Huge upgrade over the 2016.

Good to know! I had an RX 350 base model as a loaner. While not "floaty", it was very wallowy in the turns and felt like it just hated being tossed into a corner. Hopefully the F Sport trim cleans that up! Congrats, and enjoy.

The IR suits the RX perfectly! I had the same experience with the RX of old, so much so, it’s in my customer file that if I ever need a loaner, the RX will NOT be assigned. 😎 The floaty and FWD nature was too much of an annoyance. Funny thing, the NX isn’t nearly as bad. (Previous model.) I have not needed a loaner in quite some time (Thank God and knock on wood!), so I can’t speak on the improvements.
