    PlastiDip or Remove iForceMax branding?

    I removed the badge and it looks clean but at certain angles you can still lightly see the outline of the letters. Not sure if it’s because I had the car for a month before I removed and the paint is slightly less faded there (unlikely) or if I need to apply anything else to remove all...

    Soundproofing options

    I haven’t but def interested. I’ve got an fe with stock roof rack and would say that the cabin noise becomes first noticeable at 45 mphs then fairly pronounced at highway speeds. To me I think there is some road noise from tires but most of it is wind noise from side mirrors, big boxy body frame...

    updated center caps stock wheels

    Looks great! On a side note - how do you like the toyos? Any noticeable difference in ride quality, cabin noise, and mpg?

    Wishful Features that would convince you away from the GX or Defender or new 4runner

    Would love all those things you listed and 40/20/40 rear seats, but if you add all that the cars probably north of $100k. They didn’t sell many of these at that price point. I do wish they would one day offer the “premium” LC with all of those features but that’s very unlike Toyota so doubt it...

    Running Boards/Steps Options

    Fwiw I’ve seen a few videos on the gx where folks didn’t love those running boards. People said they were too thin and too short - didn’t extend far enough back toward rear wheel. I’m holding out in hopes AMP makes some retractable ones OR EOD tells us his hack (taco auto running boards) works…

    Tire Upgrade ?

    Funny I was looking at the charcoal ones, think I may end up going that route just need to decide on tires.

    updated center caps stock wheels

    Anyone have a link to the plastic pry tool they used? I ordered a pack of Amazon but none of the tools were thin enough to get wedged in. I did try using the beveled end of the wheel remover but that slightly scratches the wheel so don’t want to use that. I even tried ordering suction cups...

    Meteor Shower - What color wheels?

    Do you also mind sharing what fb group that was from??? :)

    What’s that little attention to detail that you love about your new LC?

    Funny whenever I use the touchscreen and rest my hand on the ledge I think about how nice and soft that trim piece is. I like how simple and clean the interior is. I know some think it looks cheap and plasticy but I prefer it. I test drove an X5 when shopping for the LC and there were nice...

    GX550 or LC

    I owned my Audi for 10+ years and dealt with some major headaches. If this car lives up to the Toyota reliability we all know then I can see me owning this until it stops running!

    Window tint

    I got ceramic heat rejecting tint on windshield at 70% (basically clear) and I haven’t noticed any change in clarity of hud. Not sure what it looks like if you go darker…

    GX550 or LC

    Im co have you driven the new Lc? I’m coming from back to back Audis and this car is as quick as both of them. Not as nimble but power not an issue. I’m also averaging about 20-21 mpg at 1200 miles. Have seen many new gxs averaging 14-15, so I’m 50% better - to me that lives up to expectations.

    GX550 or LC

    Similar mindset… I told my wife, if I do this we’ll my 16 month old will drive the LC as her first car!

    Part# for meteor painted front bumper panels

    Are you talking about just the square near the lights or the entire bumper? All trim levels have matte black bumper. Lc and fe trim have color matched “square” below lights. Think someone on here got them color matched already…

    Meteor Shower - What color wheels?

    I have a meteor shower and am tempted by the gunmetal / titanium wheels I’ve seen out there. Want to see someone else do it first tho lol! I’ve been searching hard for a Japanese made wheel that would look good on the LC, it’s been tough to find.

    Drive w rear hatch open?

    No I’m really pleased with it. I was coming from ~15 years of driving Audis so it took a little getting used to different drive type - more cruisey and truck like in LC vs sporty and nimble in the Audis. Almost a month in and I’m liking the car more and more. Very happy I choose the LC and not...

    Drive w rear hatch open?

    Just the Thule roof rack straps.. that was my first time putting it up there but since then whenever I strap up top I clip the hook side right into the hole of the roof rack which makes it a bit easier to strap in. Also very secure. https://a.co/d/6JV95wa
