Hey Arentz07 neat side shots & nature scenery in the background. Reminds me of these shots I took fall 2022. This same spot across my old office park in Ann Arbor I still take every can I owned there for scenic shoots.

The headrest are OEM for the 2022-2024 Lexus IS500, you can checked them out at Lexus Boutique International.

I believe they are the same F SPORT ones as the ES and NX. I thought about getting them as well... but I like that the stock ones have exposed stitching that matches the seats and the F SPORT ones don't have any exposed stitching.

I wish there was an F SPORT headrest with matched stitching!

Well stated. Exactly why I decided against it.

^^ Love the stance with the lowering springs - On the wheels, I am more of an OEM guy but I know I am conservative as an older guy

I'm an older guy too, but stock the wheels and tires just don't fill out the fenders good enough.

Well they are all season so can't expect Pilot Sport performance. But so far, so good. I took a nice onramp the other day at a good speed and they didn't even start complaining. They are great in a heavy rain. My last car (Camaro) had max-performance summer tires that were frightening in water.

That is great! I am going all season on mine too. I waver between Michelin and Pirelli. Are they at least as quiet as stock too? Hopefully more quiet?
