Is the USB the same colour as the ISF or did they tweak it, looks good.

It's not the same color. It's USB Mica 2.0. I think it is slightly with more metallic flake than the original IS F. The original IS F color was out of its time though, so even though USB Mica 2.0 will be flashier, its not as unique as it used to be.

Thanks! The IS F has Ultrasonic Blue Mica 1.0.

It’s true every manufacturer has a blue car nowadays, but they’re not as rich in depth as the USB 2.0. (IMO) The USB 2.0 isn’t as purple-y as the rest, but the closest by far is Acura. Their red seats are pretty close to our circuit red as well.

No fancy art wall, just my wash bucket and some garage crap, but she's got a fresh coat of ceramic and Exo v4 and resting while it cures She's back to 100% now with all my insane water spots removed and new ceramic. I've been working on the paint since Friday and waiting for deliveries, I haven't driven her since then! I am dying to go out for a drive!

Your garage lighting is sick.

Hot is Hot no matter the setting. Think I’m heading to the mountains for a spirited ride myself this weekend. It’s been too long. Your car looks great!! #BlewCrew 💙😍

Thanks! I put up five 4-foot LED light bars and a screwn in LED bulb adapter all shining 30,000 lumens if the specs were correct. I kind of want to swap the 4 foot lights with 8 foot lights because the front of the car isn't as well lit.

Have a great time! I was trying to think of somewhere cool for pics on Sunday possibly, but we don't have art here... only cows and dilapidation lol

Side note - tentatively count me in for that if y'all have space. I have been wanting to actually use the new tires.

I didn’t post a note to our car group’s site, those folks are always sooooo LATE to every-freaking-thing! 🙄😜

I’ll send a message offline to coordinate availability. 😎

Finally picked my 2023 up a couple of weeks ago, after over a year of waiting and back and forth with my Lexus dealer. Had to give the 2015 IS350 the divorce papers…. It wasn’t her.. it was me. I’ve since had it tinted, 20% all around and full windshield with 50% ceramic. Looking forward to going broke for mods. More pics to come! Posted an old pic of the 350 out of respect, though I can’t say I miss it. Feels good to be in the IS500 Threads!

^^ What a beautiful shot.

DLPTony - I agree with you 100% - HOT is HOT no matter what. It hasn't always been easy for me but I try and cope with it BTW - your garage pic shows a shine that even my bald head can't match...mind you, I never had it ceramic coated

Goodness…the shine is like SUPER ridiculous!! Love. It.

I’m extremely thankful for this forum too. Yes, even the contrarians. The antagonists, meh. 🤭😂

Agreed on Acura. Before I pulled the trigger on my ISF, I seriously considered the TLX Type S in Apex Blue. Beautiful car. It’s no V8 Lexus (I’m biased lol) but its definitely a looker in that color combo, and I respect Honda turning out an AWD turbo V6.
