If I may, I would also like to recommend the illuminated door sills. Not only does it look super cool to have it say F sport when you open the door in bright white, but it’s also the only way to get a metal door sill protector in the rear. If you don’t get that, you get nothing in the back. I personally think it’s worth the money. Yes, you can get them cheaper at the parts counter, but if you’re like me, paying the extra money is worth any sort of electrical issues that might present themselves with a DIY install. Not to mention it comes with 4 year warranty vs 1 year if you get it at the port
+1, I love that they say "F Sport" on the F Sport models instead of "LEXUS" like on the pre-refresh.
Is this the same part number as a 21 IS350 F Sport by chance?
It should be, but idk why I had a feeling that 2021s came with “LEXUS” illuminated rather than “F-Sport” on the 2022s. I thought the switch might’ve been related to them removing the F sport badge on the trunk
That looks amazing!! Gotta find a way to get it. Parts right now only list the sills with light up "Lexus" logo. Only way right now is through Lexus Boutique, but the price is ridiculous.
$!&@ I just realized that when I filled out the credit application today where it asked for monthly gross income I entered my gross paycheck. No wonder I still haven’t been approved. They’ll let me redo it right?
Quick question. Does the dealership you buy from matter?
Based on my personal experience, it has had NO impacts whatsoever. I have been buying all my Lexus dealer from the city I used to lived because I knew them well and the dealer owner was friend with my dad who was in the car business. The closest Lexus dealer where I have some service done totally understood my loyalty and the service advisor always appreciated my business and was more than courteous with me. That being said, either dealers are a bit far from where I live so for basic stuff like oil change, installing my LCA bushings, alignment and things like that, I have gone to a local Toyota dealer and they are AMAZING!! The service manager only has his top mechanic touch my car and I swear I am like royalty there....in the end, the key is to always be pleasant with them and they'll treat you well and as Answer said, they will make money regardless so of course they'll want your business.

You will get both - I never put my carpeted one in the car ever and when I return my lease, the car is pristine with the summer mat still in its wrapper.

To remove the existing lug bolt you can used the torque wrench in reverse (not recommended) or you can use the breaker bar in the trunk. I kid you not, I did all 4 wheels in 2-3 minutes. It’s not rocket science.
I do all my wheel swapping on my daily drivers (and rotation) and I agree, installing locking bolts and such is a super easy process - I haven't to do anything on my 2021 350 yet and I am not sure how I feel these over the old traditional style of having wheel studs and just putting on the nut - this will be a bit trickier to install tires compared to just use the wheel stud to align your tire and then put the nuts on. I am not going to flame you for using Harbor Freight as much as using a torque wrench to undo your bolts (lol) I have invested in a breaker bar for dirt cheap and keep my torque wrench for properly tightening the wheels. Now I haven't done any work to my 2021 yet but have you confirmed the torque spec of 103 lb ft? It seems a bit higher than what I usually use on my other cars which is usually in the 90 lb ft....and you are correct, it is not rocket science ---- it is SOCKET science (LMAO)

I would just call the dealer in which you arranged for the credit check and explain you provided some incorrect information and see if they'll give you a number to call or if not, if you get rejected, of course you can resubmit again explaining you made a mistake...

Haha I have no intention of expanding the Antonio family yet. Heck I’m not sure if I ever will.
You don’t have to worry about aligning the stud with the wheel once you fully remove the wheel. In the trunk there is a guide pin which screws into one of the threads in the wheel hub, and you basically put that and then rest the wheel on that guide pin, and then screw in the other 4 lug bolts. And yes it is 103lb ft. It has been for a while on these cars, but you can verify yourself in the owners manual. And I feel you about the torque wrench. I personally don’t use it to remove anything which is why I said it was not recommended

thanks for all your answers. Re this question my salesman said he’ll let his general manager know to adjust it. I’ve just been worried sick that the wrong income info will increase my rate. Or is a credit approval all or nothing? (Meaning rates are the same as long as you get approved) Idk how it works...props to him for texting me at 4am though.

When there’s a promotional apr it’s all or nothing. But the IS500 has no promotional APR so I’m uncertain.

my understanding is they’re shopping me rates, sending me to banks, which they said they work with. The original estimate before I submitted my info was quoted with a 7.99% APR. hoping it’s a lot lower than that.
