Ask and you shall receive

Lets see how long I can get away with no front plate before a ticket


This is almost a little too murdered out, but given it comes from the factory like this (minus tint) I'm about it. I might have done lighter rims if it was an option but i still like the BBS in black

Pre-tint


Yes black is a pain but i love it and don't mind washing my car, i weirdly find it relaxing.

Oh man. I need some new underwear now. It’s beautiful. @wthrman2 i think I’m gonna have to stick with black if I do switch. And if I don’t switch I have to black out my window trim. Completes the look big time

Daaamn. My wife’s Palisade is black, and you’re right it’s a bear to keep it looking good. But when it’s clean, it’s just so mean looking. Love it!

Amen. I love how it looks when it’s clean but then I hate that parking outside 5 minutes makes it look like it went to Iraq and back. But hey I think I have a solution for all. I will gladly wash all ClubLexus IS500. At what cost you may ask?
Just let me drive it the rest of the day teehee

I’m digging it! 👏🏽🤘🏽

Trust me, no matter the color, I suspect most in this forum will see a spec of dirt on their cars from a mile away. #WeeklyBathsAndDetailingInBetween 😜👍🏽

I couldn't agree with you with more!! I can spend my entire day in the garage and detailing, it is a form of soothing therapy - Must be the "wax on/wax off" part

TipsyTonio - Hey, you don't need to be sorry - we all love what we love. I have always been a fan of white cars and people make fun of me all the time and feel I am boring - All my Lexus products have been white and my last 2 Sparks were white - So I get it, we all have things that we are drawn too. still doesn't change the fact that I still think AS is one heck of a color and especially with those dark Enkeis

This angle hits hard! I'm surprise the person that did your tint didn't fully tint the rear window and left a cut out of the third brake light.

I know! It’s hard to keep up and I absolutely love it. 🥰

So glad more people are finding (and getting) this car. Makes me chuckle, because MotoManTV said: “You all beyotched and moaned louder than I’ve ever seen. So get off your @$$ and go buy this thing!”

Folks listened. 😜

Congrats new folks!
