First off, be gentle. I have no real knowledge about cars, so I’m looking for some help from people more knowledgeable. I recently purchased a 2023 Lexus IS500 and absolutely love it. The one modification I want to do is put an aftermarket exhaust on it. I’m not a racer and I don’t like super loud “raspy” exhausts. So after trying to do my due diligence, I *think* what I’m looking for is an axel back resonated exhaust? From the videos I have watched/listened to, it seems to have that deep growl that I desire. Assuming the above is my best option, the two brands I see most are Apexi and Borl ..read more

Hello, So I’m patiently waiting for my wheels that were suppose to arrive in March, but due to delay I got an offer to exchange them for different ones. My plan was to get GramLights 57CR F19x8.5 +35, R19x9.5 +35 but I can change rears to 19x9.5 +25 LINK Do you guys think they will fit the rear without rubbing on arms or fenders? Will they stick out of fenders? I plan to make it flush fitment and if I have to use spacers I’m okay with that but if they are sticking out i can’t do much. Thanks in advance ..read more

Hey guys, So I'm looking to replace the lower control arm bushings on my 2014 is 350 AWD F sport with the RCF/GSF lower control arm bushings. Does anyone know the part number for the stock lower control arm bushings that come on the 2014 is350? I can't seem to find the correct one online and there seems to be so many different part numbers for it. Thanks ..read more

Hello, A friend of mine just got a used '21 350 and I noticed both the climate control and especially the CD player is scratched to all hell (the forbidden super gloss piano black). I know people who have had decent to horrible luck polishing these things, usually it looks worst due to the hazing effects. I suppose we could try a detail shop. But anyhow, to my original question; is it possible to just replace these plastic face plates? Or are they permanently part of the CD player (because of course they would make them like that eh). I couldn't find much luck internet searching so I'm assum ..read more

Kind'a new he'ah (just got a '23 IS 350 AWD F Sport) and was at the dealer yesterday. While walking through the show room I noticed an RC 350 AWD F Sport, and I said to myself: "Self, doesn't that car look just like your IS 350, except for having two fewer doors". It had the same interior (with CD player ... :-), same seats, etc.., just missing two doors. But it seemed to be a lot more $$. So, is an RC simply a short IS sharing the same (shortened) platform, or is there something else that makes it special? Oh, there was an RC 500 on the floor, with $106,000 on the sticker... =:-0 ..read more

Hello, I generally drive my car in two separate geographical areas. I was wondering if there is any way to have one set of radio presets saved for one area, and another set for the other location? I assume the answer is probably "no", but thought I would ask if anyone had any recommendations?

I have searched and cannot seem to find valid information on doing a 19"x8.5 rim with a +35 offset, squared setup on a AWD IS350 F Sport. Will the computer throw any errors for the different sizing if I go with a squared wheel setup? Will a 245 rub or 235's be the biggest I can go? Im planning on running 19" Vertini RFS 1.8 with 19"x8.5" with a +35mm offset all around with a 235 or 245 35 19 Pirelli P Zero summer tire. I have stock springs on it still. Ive send IM's to others with no reply...can any one verify that this will be ok on my car ..read more

Hey just reaching out to see if anyone has encountered a similar issue or may know what's causing the problem. Will try and keep it short 2014 IS350 Awd Issue: So the passenger side DRL light works intermittently, meaning sometimes when I start the car it will NOT work at all other times works fine on (DRL MODE) and this is on the same day we are talking about. Now here's where it gets strange, when the DRL is working (DRL MODE) the passenger side DRL shuts off when low-beams or high-beams turn on but the driver side stays on. Backstory: Had slid off into a ditch this past winter tearing up ..read more
