Done for now!
Finally done for now. 2022 convertible; got it from the dealership with 2000 miles. It was given to Kyle Larson from Lexus to drive as the first 2022 convertible in California. I wanted to be different and received many hate reviews on this forum, but I’m glad I don’t care what other people think! Wheels, I tried to stand out, so I went with 24” Forgiatos 24x10 with 275/23/23 and 24x9 with 255/25/24. When tire replacement came, the companies that made these sizes were no longer around, so I ended up going 275/25/24 all around. Rides great. I went with 20% tint all around and 35% on the front, full clear body wrap. I added a front camera for the parking (curbs/big parking blocks). I bit the bullet and bought an Armytrix exhaust Lexon rear diffuser with carbon fiber tips. Love it! It is operated remotely and has 3 positions. (Closed, open on high RPM, wide open. I also added the Bluetooth Lexus pedal commander, which is a game changer in throttle lag. It's all gone!!

These cars don't have a turbo. It's a 5.0L naturally aspirated V8. Hence the "500" in LC500. And all that pedal commander does is simulate you mashing the throttle pretty much all the time. Take it out, mash the throttle all the time and you'll get the same result.

i would love to see one installed also, but hey i will keep looking at all these photos of factory LC where people added wax or changed the wipers, or bought a sun shade, or got the new color for 2025, they impress me alot.

That's right! Do your thing the way you want it, dont give it a 2nd thought about what others think. I wish I could afford some of those expensive mods you have. My 23 LC Convertible still stock, but I'm looking at a couple items. Anyway... looking forward to seeing what you do next! Enjoy!!!
