Question Standard vs Premium: what's the difference?
I'm getting the itch to sell my ISF and jump into a 500, so I'm hoping someone could run down the differences b/t the trim levels. Thanks!

Premium gets:
Triple beam LED headlights
10.3 in multimedia display
Mark Levinson sound system
Machined aluminum control *****
Dynamic Voice Command
Lexus Enform Dynamic Navigation
Lexus Enform Destination Assist.
Panoramic View Monitor, Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking, Rear Cross-Traffic Braking

I think that's all

Okay, so all interior functionality essentially except the headlights. Thanks! I thought the ML sound system was standard at this point. LOL It's been in every Lexus I bought, including my little '08 IS 250.

The premium also includes the rear sunshade.

IMO, worth springing for the Mark Levinson. I think it is better in the newer IS models compared to the RC.

Thanks! White exterior, black interior, black wheels. I’ve always been a USB fan, but I think the 500 looks best in white or red, personally. Something about the lines and accents. Anyway, gonna have the darkest legal tint done upon arrival (not limo dark though), and then start looking at vroom vroom stuff. Perused through the exhaust page for ideas, but haven’t really seen anything on headers. Would the same stuff from our ISFs work?

Anyone wanna save me the trouble and tell me which set up gets us the most bang for the buck?

RR Racing has IS 500 headers on their page.

Given the inability to tune the engine, without going back to an older setup or standalone, I don't think there are any big gains to be had yet.
