I agree 100%. I sincerely hope the issues are isolated and resolved.

On the other hand, congrats to those who picked up their cars today!

What are people's thoughts on getting PPF for the rear quarter panels, for rocks getting picked up and flung by the tires?

Anyone have any leads where to find a IS500?

100% ppf is worth it. Cover as much as the car as you can

Just look deep inside your heart... and you'll find one.. But in all seriousness... I'd suggest contacting your local Lexus dealerships to find out about their allotments and join a waiting list. Or there's always various sites... autotrader or JDPower etc.

To be honest, the best way to find one is to start working with dealers near you but be warned, there are either some waiting lists or huge dealer market adjustments. People have been waiting for this car since it was announced last February (myself included) and mine will arrive in a couple of weeks. Production has been somewhat limited and the Launch Edition is now even harder to get as many have snatched them already.

That being said, people will occasionally post dealers that have some cars available in the combo they have, so check here often but seriously, best option is to call your dealer (or dealers) and get on a list ASAP

EDIT _ Ice, we posted at the same time (lol)

I got a list about 2 weeks ago. I am scheduled to have one delivered in early March. I was flexible on color combos. Got my second choice.

I had success using the Lexus dealer finder and searching about 300 miles from my home, which picked up plenty of SoCal dealers and just looked at what was on their website, which would show what they had been allocated. In many cases they were available, but I was dissuaded by markups and ended up buying from my local dealer after getting them to waive their markup for some warranty and extras I'd buy.

I haven't had any success either. I want to use stock wheels for winter tires, but can't find a nice set of wheels. The only thing I wanted from the LE was the BBS wheels—not a fan of the polished aluminum of the non-LE. I can't imagine how much the OEM LE wheels would cost.

For the rear quarter my installer does a lot of track use cars and he said he barely sees any damage in quarters, he recommended I do the entire A pillar and the lower dogleg of the quarter, but not the entire piece since it is a giant piece and fairly expensive. So the front of the rear tire is protected by the dogleg and the rear is by the bumper anyways which is also protected. Also saw a member ask about suntek and that’s what I had installed it’s amazing, I’ve had 3M and xpel installed on my other cars too, 3M was a solid no and xpel is great but I chose suntek this time around because of the new reaction film, less orange peel look, and since they have black ppf for all the trims.

Just in case anyone else attempts the same thing, I went to install a hardwire kit for my dashcam/radar, so I disconnected the battery just in case. To my surprise once I reconnected and turned the car on, I got PCS, RCTA, PKSA errors and my dynamic lines stopped working. I got worried and called the tech at Lexus, turns out everytime you disconnect or the battery the car resets the electronic steering angle position sensor. So you have to recalibrate it in service mode. It was easy enough just weird as this is the first time something like that ever happened.

Part number for the forged BBS wheels are 42611WY320 (front) and 42611WY330 (rear).

looks like you can get refurbished ones from Detroit Wheel and Tire

The Enkei wheels indeed look stunning. In fact, they look great with every colors I've seen thus far except with the ultra white. I see that you should be receiving your ultra white IS500 very soon; I'm looking forward to hear your final decision. You must also consider that the wheels on the 2021 IS350 are heavier.
