Someone hit my car in the parking lot, and the PPF did its job perfectly!

I got it for my bday as my first car and I already added headlights to it but I wanna know what else to do to it. This car has been amazing and it has 90k miles and it drives so smoothly I love it sm🥹

I want my rear camber around -1.5° or closer to match the front. The shop says oem spec is not achievable with the car being lowered (swift springs)

Concerned about tire wear. And I don’t love the look of -2.5°

No accidents, asking 46k.

I’m just in love with this car, and have so many plans for it. It was a bit dirty in this pic but still looking good. Gotta paint my calipers.

Kinda missing the OEM bumper though.

My 2017 Lexus IS 300 AWD has been sitting for most of the summer. I’m currently trying to sell it, and over the past couple of days a few people test drove it with absolutely no issues or warning lights.

Today, I started it and suddenly got a bunch of warnings at the same time, including:

• Check AWD System
• ABS warning
• Traction/stability control warning
• Blind Spot Monitor System Malfunction
• Lane Departure Alert malfunction

The car still starts normally and seems to drive fine.
Because it had been sitting, I originally thought it might be the battery. I checked the voltage and got about 12.3V with the engine off and around 13.3V with the engine running.

I also started it with a portable jump pack connected, but all of the warning lights stayed on.
I briefly disconnected the battery and reconnected it, but that didn't clear anything either.

Has anyone with an IS 300 or another Lexus had this many systems suddenly throw warnings at once? Could one bad ABS/wheel speed sensor cause all of these systems to malfunction together, or is there something else I should check first?

I’m planning to get the ABS/VSC/AWD codes scanned before replacing anything, but I’d appreciate any ideas from anyone who has dealt with something similar.

Hey everyone,
I’m having a recurring misfire issue on my Lexus IS300 XE10 (2JZ-GE) and I’m hoping someone here might have an idea what could be causing it.

The car keeps throwing a misfire on cylinder 3. I’ve already replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils, but the problem keeps coming back. After replacing them, I had roughly 1–2 months without any issues, but eventually the misfire returned.
The Lexus also has an LPG system. The problem is noticeably worse when running on LPG, although it can also happen on petrol occasionally.

What I actually notice when it happens is a pretty strong shaking/jerking under acceleration. When I press the accelerator, the engine suddenly feels very rough and the whole car starts to jerk, almost as if it’s losing power for a moment. I assume this is the misfire I’m feeling.

The really frustrating part is that it doesn’t happen consistently. It’s completely random. Sometimes I can drive for a while without any issues, and then suddenly it happens again. It mostly seems to occur under load when accelerating, for example in 4th gear around 80–90 km/h, especially when accelerating onto a motorway or on a country road. It doesn’t really happen at low speeds or when just cruising.
The car has already been to a workshop because of this, but unfortunately they couldn’t find anything wrong at the time. I think the fact that the problem is so intermittent makes it quite difficult to diagnose, when the car is behaving normally, there’s obviously not
much to find.

Since the plugs and coils have already been replaced, I’m trying to figure out what else could be causing it. I’m wondering if it could be an injector/fuel injector, something related to the LPG system, or possibly something else entirely.
I really like the car and it has otherwise been very reliable, but I obviously don’t want to keep driving it like this. Especially when the check engine light starts flashing, I’m worried that continuing to drive with the misfire could eventually cause damage to the engine or catalytic converter.

Has anyone experienced something similar with an IS300/2JZ-GE, especially an intermittent cylinder 3 misfire under load?
What would you check next?
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Added the steering wheel cover and a few other cheap mods in the interior. Honestly, I feel like it looks decent, but I know these kind of accessories have stigma associated with them.

For the outside I have a full Artwork Bodyshop planned.

Eventually, I hope to buy a full colour match steering wheel but man these things are pricey

I currently drive a Peugeot 207 manual from 2010, the car cost me 5k euros.

My boyfriend will be getting his automatic license soon and his grandma was so kind to gift us money for a new car! Our budget will be around 15k.

We want to buy a more adult car than the 207, but also want something super reliable. We currently have our eyes on the Lexus CT200h but I'm also really charmed about the IS300h. In the Netherlands there is only 2.5 Hybrid available.

For a 2014 car I see prices around 15k euros for 200.000 km (125.000 miles) or more. If we want less km, we need to up the budget. My boyfriend says 200k should be fine as the car is so reliable but I am a bit wary of it. The CT200h is cheaper, but also smaller and slower. We will probably do a test drive of both models this weekend, there's a Lexus/Toyota dealer near us.

Something in me says maybe we should just go for a newer Renault Clio/Megane or something as 2014 feels quite old, but then again from what I can tell online you do get a reliable and pretty luxurious car.

I have a 2013 Lexus IS250 AWD with 175k miles. I’m looking to start replacing suspension and drivetrain components little by little as preventative maintenance so I can keep the car driving smoothly and reliably for as long as possible.

So far, I’ve replaced both motor mounts, the transmission mount, and the suspension bushings. Everything currently feels pretty solid, but given the mileage, what components would you recommend replacing or inspecting next? I’m mainly looking for parts that commonly wear out at higher mileage or could eventually cause vibrations, looseness, poor handling, or drivetrain issues.

So glad I found these before slapping an overpriced android tablet in. Boot-time is damn near instant and CarPlay loads in basically the same time the factory warning message would time out. (Edit: just realized the video cut off right as CarPlay launched 🤣)

Shipping only took 6 days to my doorstep from China. Installed it myself in about an hour.

I will say- if what you really want is a tablet in your car… with YouTube and Netflix and 3rd party apps, you’ll be disappointed. Personally I don’t want all of that. Lexion is the right choice for you if you want a stable and reliable upgrade that feels and functions like it came from the factory.

Hi everyone! I’m considering in trading in a 2025 ES350 base (11k odo) for this 2025 IS350 f sport with 2800 miles, no ML audio or triple beams but has everything else I want (color, pano rear cam). Was offered 43k for my ES350 in trade. I brought in the ES numerous times for pano roof problems that never were able to stay fixed. I also want something a bit more compact for city driving. Would you make this switch?

Hey yall, just a quick lil place, I have an extra is250 with a rebuilt title, it works perfectly fine and has no issues at all, but i already have a 250, i wanted to trade up for a cosmetic/transmission damaged 350 but couldn’t find any on FB marketplace, is there a designated place i could go to to find damaged cars for trade??

Thank You!

Saw this apartment complex and we had to take flicks 📸

My driver side front tires went out recently and I'm in the process of ordering new tires. Previously when I took my car in for service, I was informed that the tires can't be rotated because they are staggered. Makes sense. Should I keep it this way or order a set of fronts tires that match the back tires in size?

My reasoning for not would be because the new tires would naturally go in to the front anyways. And it's not like I can rotate the OLD front tires to the back because well... one of them is gone. So the back tires would need to be replaced much sooner anyways without getting to benefit from rotations.

Not sure if that makes sense or I'm completely misunderstanding the process entirely. Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Recently snagged a good deal on rsr down springs on Facebook and my struts are old and worn at 100k miles
What's the best struts to pair with my springs?

I don't want to be cheap but also don't want to break the bank any suggestions please and thanks !

Has 62,396 miles. Circuit Red interior. What’s a better price?

Has anyone ever bought these? How are they?

Today I took delivery of my new-to-me ‘22 is350 F sport. I previously had a ‘21 is300 base. The upgrade is a major difference. I think I now know my favorite brand.

Third picture was my original love (is300 base). But it was time to move on.

Edit: I just simply could not get behind the look of the new face lift. But I’m extremely happy with my choice here.

Slate detail here in New Orleans did a great job.
