Premium and Ultrasonic Blue / Black.
Now that my purchase is complete, I can fully recommend JM Lexus in the south Florida area.
They did mark up their LEs but weren't trying to hide it. They are selling everything else at MSRP, no add-ons, hell there isn't even a dealer doc fee or anything. I paid $50 for PDI labor I think.
I paid about $800 to ship the car 800 or so miles.
For anyone on the East Coast / South / Midwest I would seriously consider JM Lexus. You might eat a bit on shipping if you don't want to drive the car home, but it's not $6000 of add ons lol. They are easily a top 5 volume Lexus dealer. Probably top 3 if I had to guess, so they will have a steady stream of 500s. No deposit required, just a reservation list.
I did everything remote. Sales manager even overnighted the contract to me on work travel on the dealer's dime. That's like $200 to save 2 days on the deal, the little things added up when you're used to getting reamed by dealers.
E-mail Bradley Patrick to get on his list, say Zach sent you. I don't get anything, just helping ya'll out. 10/10.

I'm willing to bet it is Krazy Koo or whatever his name is... I guess they don't like what we've said about the Craig Zinn dealers on the spreadsheet

easiest and most pronounceable jerk i could get was by driving on the highway for a while and then coming to a steady stop by holding constant and moderate brake pressure on the off ramp. Your results may vary.

The magic of google sheets is that is tracks who makes edits. The owner of the sheet should be able to get the name of the person who edited the page. #TECHNAWLOGY

The experience is definitely different than I had expected. Back seat enjoyment is mehhh. The real fun is in the front seats. Most of the vocals come from the speakers on the dash which leads me to believe that they're going for a concert performance style. Overall it's not bad. It has a lot of bass. It's the first car where I don't full max out the bass because it gives me a headache.
