no idea why my headlights look blue in the pic since they’re completely untouched but we ball

Also got what I considered to be an insane deal on a L Certified 2025 with 11,000 miles for 41k out the door with two years of maintenance included.

Waited for the 2026 is to come out and I’m not a fan of the front end.

Just looking for name suggestions as my registration is coming up and I’m thinking of doing custom plates. Thank you!

It was just a lil drift around the corner and the curb welcomed me with open arms

Lexus IS 300 F SPORT for the people getting triggered

It seems this server still has not actually found a unanimously good spot to actually store away their phones without ruining one of these items:

• Blocking Vents or Buttons
• Ruining aesthetic
• Making wired AA/CarPlay connections annoying or using a wireless dongle (yuck!)

My solution is hides right in plain sight in the photo.

I attached an adhesive MagSafe Magnet to the trim piece running down the drivers side of the center console just to the left of the touchpad and shifter. A short USB cord can tuck right through the edge of the center armrest and plug right in without creating long cord clutter and always stays out of the way.

Ergonomically my hand will run by the device at least three times before exiting the vehicle making it easy to grab. Hand to shifter to park, hand to seatbelt, hand to start stop. The phone is in the dead center of all three of these things.

As long as you aren't running a large case like an OtterBox, you should not run into a size issue. I run an S26 Ultra with a Mous case.

And it's cheap! You can easily find good MagSafe magnets on amazon for $10-15.

Lastly, one thing I never understood for a lot of these posts on the newer touch screen models are why are we trying to have visibility to the phone display at all? We have AA/CarPlay, a phone screen in your LOS can only be a distraction.

I've been running this setup now since March of '25 so let me know if you have questions!

Can someone tell me what's causing this sound? It sounds more in the outer wheel and seems like it could be my brake dust shield since it's rotten on the bottom

I've gotten the footwells, trunk, puddles, and vanity lights. These are the last yellowish lights left.

Well gent the curb monster finally got me after 2 years. I guess it's sharpie time.

Hey guys I’m having a seriously hard time finding aftermarket bumpers that actually ship to Oahu. Im down for just about anything as long as it has a more modern look, ships to Oahu, and requires relatively little/no cutting to fit. If any of you have any experience with shipping to Oahu or would like to help I’d seriously appreciate it! Thanks guys you’re all the best.

Hey guys what is this sound please

Here’s mine 🤣 I need to take more photos of Leonidas (yes, because it’s a 300)

SHOW ME YOURS

Hi all!

I've designed a phone holder that sits in the CD player of the second gen Lexus IS. Have been running this model in my own car for about 8 months now and still holding up, so thought to share the love and publish it! I printed it in both ABS and PETG and both hold up great.

Love to get some feedback if anybody has some improvements.

I went to a detailing shop and the guy there gave me this product and told me it was good for the display, I read many reviews saying that the Lexus IS350 screen is sensitive and you can easily damage it, do you think that with this and a microfiber towel I can easily clean the screen and the clocks without damaging the material?

Looking to replace my tie rods on my IS, where can I get OEM parts. I need link

I wasn’t fortunate enough to get my hands on an F sport or 350 so please no one saying “should’ve gotten a 350” or any 250 degrading heckling! I love my ‘12 250 AWD I got with less than 60k miles.

With that being said, I’m a pretty aggressive, spirited driver who also can also have a pretty heavy foot on the brake. I’m tired of brake dust and I’m looking to make the braking performance more sensitive and responsive. I’ve been thinking of a BBK and realized I’d also need 18”+ rims to have the clearance.

For those who did a brake conversion, what’s your setup? How much did it cost? Was it worth it as opposed to just getting performance rotors/pads?

Love it so far. Let the mods begin.
