Will the RCF's OEM dust shield fit on the is500 knuckle?
Would wiper switch from Scion tC of 2005-2010 work in xB for this purpose? It looks identical.
Rodney A! You da man!!!🙏🙏
About to change mine for a black one. How did you reach the corners from the inside ?😮
Isn’t the is 500 supposed to be Fsport performance scuff guard. Yours is the Fsport made for is350
Yup, there is a Japan version of illuminated door sills for F-sport performance but I did this long before that came out. They are interchangeable
is it the same engine as on the gs450h?? it sits on it???
What color temperature are your headlights?
My only question to you is if I wanna bring in my car in, would you order a full set for me? So that be a sure fire and have it install as well.
Sorry we're not a shop, just a hobby mancave
Why did you switch from rr racing lca to these?
Hey Rodney, do you know how can i factory reset my unit? My mic doesn't work after amplifier was fried due to water damage, i bought the same exact amplifier and new mic but still doesn't work.
Hey man was wondering if you have any left over parts from your 88? since we both have the same model.
Do you have a video showing how to wire it up? I have all my struts installed and have my lines ran, I don’t have experience with wiring so I’ve been hesitant on doing it myself. Any tips, recommendations or a push in the direction of a how to on wiring dual compressors for IS 250/ 350 06-12
Thank you for the video, followed your steps and everything came out great.
Great to hear!
Why didn't you just buy the whole plastic pieces of the console along with it?
I actually did buy an entire console with scratches for the navigation joystick. The reason for not using it in vehicle was the center console finish is different in a 2014 compared to newer ones and I wanted it to match the finish of the rest of the console. You can swap entire console if you see fit but it can get pricey or hard to source an entire center console for the swap.
@@specONE luckily, those parts are waaay cheaper here in my country(UAE), scrap yards of course. So can i use a full console of 2017+ on 2015 model?
Where did you get the mount for I’m guessing your air ride controller
The mount is made by Kuda Mount www.telefonkonsolen-shop.de/index.php?lang=1&
Awesome vids. How do you buy Lems stuff (I’m looking at their exhaust system) from Japan?
I've been going through RHDjapan vendor
The sleeve comes one per package. Just got mine didn’t know it was one per order .
yup, good call out. Its per piece.
First and foremost I like your style, but 2 questions, did you ever make the back seat removal video and 2 are you running that from the stock head unit?
Great video, only one for the IS 500. Thanks for uploading.
❤🤍🤗
Thank you for the video.
Can u make a video showing the window visors more in depth and how flush it sits
terrible video,
It be nice to have a video on how you tap in to get power..
I did this same swap on my 2016 200t... my back button works
Perfect
Awesome! Have you replaced the plastic cover piece on the digital cluster? Mine is scratched up and driving me crazy.
Unfortunately no I have not had to replace a cluster plastic piece
Thanks , the first link is not working, also I was wondering if they have some accessories for the Lexus is
Thanks, link fixed. Don't think they have anything for the IS, they mostly make accessory items for SUV type vehicles
Do you still have the car? I heard about people having their front bumpers sagging due to chassis flex, and that some reinforcement might prevent that.
I still have the car. I haven't seen the issue myself with the bumper sagging. This guy does make a fix for the issue. www.etsy.com/listing/1712118525/lexus-is500-bumperapron-separation
What is the purpose of the vacuum lines? My friend wired just the power lines and not the vac lines
The valves on the GThaus exhaust I have are vacuum controlled for opening and closing. There are electronic controlled valves out in the market but mine is not one of them thus I needed to run vacuum to them for it to function as intended
Where did you get the little bracket from for the height sensor?
You may have to be more specific, what time was it shown in the video?
I saw you drill 4 holes, but only saw the two middle holes get filled with screws. What about the two outer holes you drilled, did I miss something ?
Your eyes weren't playing tricks. The two at the end are for plastic clips. Not bolted on.
@@specONE Ah ok. Got it thanks. I'm considering installing this same spoiler on my IS and just been trying to watch as many installation videos as I can before I take the plunge. It's been a few years now since your install. How has the spoiler held up, I know one concern about drilling holes into a trunk, is the fear of getting water in there when it rains, causing mold. Have you had to deal with that and is the spoiler still going strong? Thanks.
No sound amp and radio good do you know anything???? One place says change DCM????
Do u see the volume 0-62/max when moving the knob? If not, your amp is fried. My amp is fried because of rain, i replaced it with the same exact amp, now the mic doesn't work and no one seems to know how to fix it... I even bought a new mic but it didn't work. The DCM fuse did nothing in my case.
@@Sulto_ no it wasn’t showing and no amp is not fried I sent it out all good the other day my radio just started working
@@Sulto_ bad storm came and it came back on
@@-YoungTop lucky you! I'm struggling with the mic. It stopped working after the amp was fried.
Do you have a full how to video?
Sorry I do not. This was done years ago for a customers car.
How are they holding up? I just got some ODINSUS for my RC F, haven’t installed them yet.
Holding up great.. Never had problems with my old AirREX setup, don't think I will with OdinSUS either!
You happen to know who found out that these will not work with the enkei is500 wheels? I have a 15mm spacer up front hoping that will help
Spacers will definitely help with clearance!
What is the difference between the usrs and rcf bushing.?
RCF OEM bushing is harder rubber material. RR racing and other company offerings are usually polyurethane material or solid metal
You got some balls at the 10 minute mark, my luck the bit would slip and run across the trunk
Will this conversion fit the 2021 is350?
Yup, exactly the same process for IS350
Where did you mount the black box and get power from? Thanks
My way was complicated, I recommend going to the cigarette lighter port so it will only work with the car on and won't drain your system. I believe I show where I mounted the box in a different video
All the interior, footwell, puddle, and trunk lights use the same t10 bulbs?
Yup, all the same size bulbs
@@specONE sweet, appreciate it brotha!
thank you!! as a woman I was able to do this with the assistance of a friend just cuz I was nervous to not hold the window while screwing. lol but it's all done!! thanks so much
That's amazing to hear! 👏
Mine has a camera would I need to get reprogrammed if unplugged?
Technically, you probably need to recalibrate if you pull the bumper off and you have radar cruise control feature
@@specONE yes I do and what about if I unhook the battery first? So technically it won’t detect that it’s unplugged ?
It's not about it detecting it's unplugged, it's that it has moved slightly when you unmount bumper and mount back up. It may have moved millimetres but it moved and the system will assume it's still in original position and system will use those sensor data but it will be slightly wrong. Can you get away with it? Maybe but it's not going to be perfect
@@specONE thank you for reaching out! I’ll see where I could get it reprogrammed at maybe the dealership? Or body shops have “adas” guys that do it?
@@bird_chill_412 yeah you are looking for a re-calibration, Bodyshop probably a good place to start.
Would this CAI fit on 2022 NX 350 F-Sport?
No it wouldn't fit unfortunately. The NX350 is a second generation NX with a different engine
@@specONE Thanks for answering!
What adapters do you have for the jack stands thays on the pinch weld?
To be honest, I don't remember where I got them from at this point. But they don't really work too well for the pinch weld. The pinch weld just cuts the part it rest on in half
Great video. I just ordered mines. Overall did the check engine light ever come on?
No check engine light will come on with this air intake. Just make sure to not forget to install and plug in the MAF sensor.
@@specONE thanks!
Try baby wipes before you go replacing the screen. Thank me later 😊😊

My passenger side sill does not turn off when door actuator is pressed but drivers side does. Can anyone help?
I would double check your connection and test the wire with a voltage meter tool
my radio went out black screen , works sometimes or constantly reboots. would a used radio from online fix my problem or would i need a brand new one?
You probably want a refurbished one..used one may have issues also. 2014 model year stereo were notorious for having issues
You can’t just buy any type it has to have the same plate ID
