    Official LX570s Picture Thread

    Thanks! I really went back and forth on the wheels. The original plan was to just go black on everything including lugs and center cap logos, then almost at the last minute decided to keep just that little bit of chrome to break it up. I'm pretty happy with the way they came out, and I could...

    Official LX570s Picture Thread

    Not sure how many cans they used, but I think the shop ordered 10 cans total with some left over - they gave me a 1 year warranty in case anything needs touching up or redone. Supposed to get a good 3 years out of it if taken care of. The shop said car washes are fine after a week but to stay...

    Thanks @tbisaacs ! It's all HyperDip - so fully removable if I get tired of it. Don't think I will though!

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Definitely don't want to go too dark on them. My wife has an RX that came from Florida and her fronts are so dark I can barely see out the windows at night. Luckily she's had no problems with the law in 6 or 7 years - knock on wood.

    Official LX570s Picture Thread

    Posted these over in the "What have you done this week?" thread as well, but figured I would share them here too since this thread is all about the pics. Deleted most of the chrome on my '09 and turned it into the rare "Black Edition" lol. I'm dgging it though.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Deleted most of the chrome. Have been wanting to do this for a while and finally found a shop close to my work that does it. Thinking about tinting front windows next. This was all done using Hyper Dip Shadow Black.

    Alternator died at 136k miles

    Mine gave up the ghost at 135,000 and I haven't really had it in the mud (yet). I'm sure all the salt and road chemicals used in northern IL during the winter probably didn't help it much. Was a pretty inexpensive repair and went ahead and had the serpentine belt done while they were in there...

    Headlight Retrofit for 2008 - 2011 LX570

    Here's the model number on my box. Doubt you guys still have the packaging for comparison but I'm guessing something must have been changed. The wires are hanging down just like when the stock halogens were in there and AFS works perfectly without the dust caps, so I think this bulb is just...

    Headlight Retrofit for 2008 - 2011 LX570

    I just purchased and installed the Hikari "eye of megatrons" in my 2009. Can confirm that they are too long and do not work with the stock dust covers in place. AFS immediately throws a code as soon as lights are turned on. Removed dust caps and AFS works perfectly. Going to either try to...

    The Incredible Case of the Disappearing Recall

    It's literally just one part - the passenger seatbelt assembly. It's available in different colors for different years, but that's about it. Using my new part number, I found the NHTSA/Lexus technical instructions for the recall. Looks like they only want certified/senior or master...

    The Incredible Case of the Disappearing Recall

    Got mine done today. Dropped it off at 12:30 and it was ready to pick up by 4pm. I got a new passenger seat belt, a carwash and a full tank of gas for free! Updated part# is 04008-71460. The loaner they gave me was a 2019 GX460 with 1 mile on the odometer, so that was pretty nice too. Nice...

    recall coming

    Just got a random call from my Lexus dealer asking me to schedule the appointment to get this fixed. Not sure if this is a nationwide thing or not, but the lady says they will fill up my gas tank! Guess who's going to be coasting into the lot on fumes next week?!⛽👍 Free loaner as well, and...

    Sonar / Park assist issue

    I recently started getting a loud beeping along with an error message on the info screen and nav screen that says "check sonar", and shows the front passenger's corner highlighted. I did a search on the forum but can't find any mention of this error or what could be causing it. My truck hasn't...

    Builds Aryan's 09 LX570 Build Thread

    Nice work and good ideas for upgrading the factory fogs. LED's are definitely an upgrade from the stock config.

    Windshield Installer Recommendation - Northern IL

    So here's an update on my windshield install. Took the truck back to the original place that installed it on Saturday and dropped it off. They worked on it for about 2 hours and called to say it's all ready and no more wind noise. So I pick it up and drive home, listening to wind noise the...

    Windshield Installer Recommendation - Northern IL

    Thanks for that recommendation @TheEvilPrince Geico's policy is for me to go back to the original shop that put in the new windshield and have them make it right. If it's still not done correctly, I have the option to take it to a different company. One way or the other I'll get it fixed...

    Windshield Installer Recommendation - Northern IL

    Well I finally had my windshield replaced with a factory Lexus replacement panel and the problems have already begun. Driving down the highway today at 65mph and I hear a whistling noise, almost like a side window is cracked open or something but all 4 windows are rolled completely up. I'm...

    Windshield Installer Recommendation - Northern IL

    Just got off the phone with Geico and they agreed to replace my cracked windshield with an OEM/Lexus one. Now I just need to find a good installer that isn't Safelite. Anyone had luck with an installer in Chicagoland/Northern IL they can recommend? Any help appreciated!

    recall coming

    Just checked the mailbox and I got one from Lexus today as well. Strange - I was just at the dealer yesterday and they did a check to see if there were any open recalls, and said there were none.
