There is probably more carbon fiber on this LC500 than any other LC out there. That wasn't my initial intention with the build but that's how it turned out. From engine bay to interior, there is carbon fiber everywhere! I am used to the "did you forget to paint it" jokes, so I take no offense. Its been a blast building this exactly the way that I want it, and its been fun and challenging sourcing little known and rare parts. I have learned a lot about working on cars and probably even more about JDM car part manufacturers from this car alone. I am pretty confident that there are some things on this car that nobody else has in the US or it was the first to have them.

Anyway, here is more carbon fiber! Unpainted of course

Oh that steering wheel. Where'd you get that?!

I bought this 2022 new a couple of weeks ago. It has the Dynamic package. I’ve got a thousand miles on it. It's got the Caramel interior. Great car. I love driving it. My wife says its the prettiest car she’s ever seen.

follow-up... for apple users... the issue is a bug in ios/MacOS but can be dealt with as follows:

Go to settings, Safari, Advanced, Experimental settings, disable Lazy Load.

fix does seem to work, but only on safari, not chrome or edge as they don't have that setting.

There is no setting in Mac OS so I believe this fix only applies to mobile devices. At least none I can find. And it only affects the newer Mac OS, I have an older iMac with an older OS that works fine with all the pictures. On my MacBook Pro, not working at all.

^^^^The path on MacOS is:

1. Safari>Preferences>Advanced>Click on "Show Develop menu in menu bar"-Close Safari Preferences

2. In Develop Menu choose "Experimental Features" - Go to "Lazy image loading" and uncheck.

i met up with a friend/client today to do some electronics setup for them. i arrived in the LC and they arrived in a motorhome. the motorhome had came from the factory in a pretty ugly beige color. they liked my LC and decided to wrap their motorhome in a blue/gray wrap.

but when i saw the relative size i had to laugh... here it is:

First box in awhile that I’ve been able to fit in my actual tiny trunk!
