^^^ Was this the car at Lexus Temecula? If so, saw it a few times while at their shop. Looked sharp and beautiful. Just picked up my new ‘24 infrared coupe from them last week. Good folks. 👍

The LC is my first Lexus as well. Order my Bespoke on February 3rd and it arrived on May 15th. Ordered Flare yellow sight unseen. I can’t believe how gorgeous the paint is. So much flake it’s unbelievable. Here she is…

My wife and I recently joined the LC500 family, and this is our first Lexus

We got a 2020 Performance, in Caviar with black interior. It has the Levinson stereo, but we’re not sure what other options. Would love to have the build sheet or Monroney label.

Were your A-pillars painted black from factory or you wrapped them?

Finally landed an Infrared/Toasted Caramel. All-Weather Package, 21" Forged Gloss/Black Metallic Wheels w/Machined Finish, HUD, Mark Levison Audio, Sport Package, Carbon Fiber Door Sills and All-Weather Liner+Cargo Tray. Did a full Expel PPF plus door sills and ceramic coat. Took me 10 months, but well worth the wait and effort.

Hello everyone, my first post on the first day of my membership with Club Lexus! I am the proud new owner of the 2024 LC 500 convertible, Inspiration Series, #77 of 125! Of course, it is Polar Surge White Satin Finish with the Indigo Blue Interior (at least that is what I call it). I traded in my 2014 Mercedes SL-550 and man oh man, what an upgrade I have made! I suppose you could say both vehicles are "Roadsters" or GT cars, but there is absolutely no comparing the two vehicles. The LC 500 is so much more car, bigger, heavier, more horse power and of course more technology since it is ten years newer. I am looking forward to becoming an active member of Club Lexus and hopefully trading conversations and useful information as I become more familiar with my new Lexus! I got involved with Club Lexus in an effort to find out more about my satin finish paint coating and also how to protect the forged black matte alloy wheels. These are both "new" finishes for me, and I haven't a clue how to protect my new investment. I hope to hear from many folks on what I should do!

Congratulations Mike162! And WELCOME!!!

Other members have the ‘24 Inspiration model so I expect you’ll find helpful suggestions in the near future.

Enjoy and keep us posted on your ownership experience.

Congrats and welcome, Mike! I have #4. Options for me were; no ppf and take my chances w/a body shop being able to color match any necessary dings/scratches (highly unlikely), front only and have a mismatching car sheen front to rear, or whole car ppf. I chose whole car ppf $7k all in (ceramic coat part of deal), no regrets. If you choose whole car ppf, some notes if i were to do it all over again: no cut-outs for parking sensors (mine were unaffected by ppf), no relief cuts if at all possible (dirt will accumulate eventually and cut lines will become visible), include front lip garnish even if may diminish shine (i had them use gloss ppf), and matte ppf on matte portion of door sills (not necessary on gloss portion imo). Treat the top asap w/a good waterproofing treatment, then enjoy!

Default 2024 Bespoke!

Hey yall I've been a long time forum member and Lexus owner, with an LS400 (dad's), sc300 and gs350 previously. I jsut placed a deposit to trade in my GS for a 2024 Bespoke in USBM 2.0. I wanted the white and blue interior but no such luck other than going thru the entire bespoke build process, so I had to sacrifice and get this one with the black interior. It does have the Alcantara upgrades though which I will enjoy in their own right. While the white interior would have been so striking with this color, I chose to make the sacrifice for earlier access. This car should be delivered next month, local dealer had this built and buyer fell through. It ticks every single one of my boxes except the white interior, but cest la vie. Also you've not lived til you've put a 5 point car seat in the back to prove to yourself this is not a bad choice 😅

No dealer add ons and told them not to wash or do anything on delivery except peel off the white stuff and PDI. I will have it PPFd shortly after delivery.

SO EXCITED!
