Hey RaptureEnd, are the Front Grill/Trim pieces and the exhaust black out done by wrapping?

Blessings my friend. The grill is painted and the exhaust is wrapped.

Rapture, between the blacked out pieces and the black and white theme, you remind me why I spent SO much time trying to decide between white and grey... yours is absolutely perfect! Well done!😎

I have the same Ext/Int scheme as you Limitless. I will post some pics of mine once I pick her up from PPF / Ceramic Coat tomorrow (hopefully).

I've been debating if I should do the blackout. Saw a listing of used SGM ext with Blackout, this gives me a pretty good idea how our blackout would look like. Still a very tough decision for me since the chrome bits today are tied all around very well. More of the blackout pics can be found here. https://www.autolist.com/lexus-lc+50...HP5AY9JA003442

All I did was add the LEDs for the ambient lighting. I can choose a multitude of colors as well with the app.

I've put 3,000 miles on it already as I drove across the country in my new ride.

Going from a 4 cylinder to a V8 is a jump I don't regret making!

I've always lurked on this forum since I had my RC200t so now I decided to make my first post with this upgrade to my new whip.








Looks amazing! Can you forward a link to where you purchased the interior LED stuff? LOVE the blacked out grille! I'm considering that and also blacking out the tail light housing as well as the chrome piece up top.

thank you my friend. I got the LED’s at a local shop in San Diego. I don’t know the brand. But if you go to a body shop/car audio installer they should have something similar that they can install.

Hi All:

Finally after taking delivery on the 8th, getting her PPF and Ceramic coated, finally get to really enjoy her.
MY21 fully loaded w/Dynamic package / HUD / Climate and other bits. You can see the details in my Future Owner Journey post.
Here is a picture of her. Hopefully I will be able to post a picture in the nearby mountain next weekend with better backdrop.

Stonks only go up! So I decided to upgrade. I apologize in advance to those who think people of "faith" shouldn't have nice things. Cheers!

Congratulations again

Did you only keep the coupe for about a month?

What wheels are on your convertible?

Did the dealer put those on and if so did they provide you with the original wheels (I hate when dealers change the wheels, add on one of those additional charges stickers and then keep the wheels that came with the car from the factory).

Thank you.
I put the 22" Blaque Diamond BD-21 wheels on at a separate rim and tire shop.
I can't stand the OEM wheels. Not my style.

I turo my coupe now for the easy money.

Cool, enjoy it

In IL they limited the amount of sales tax you can "carry over" when you trade so essentially if you change pricey cars in a short time period, you would likely be paying say 75% of the sales tax on the second car (prior to that change, you would be paying 10-15% of the sales tax for the new one)
