I got sick of waiting for someone to manufacture some IS300.net license plate frames so I ordered some Lexus chrome frames from a site on the internet.
They are really well made. Heavy chrome with a thick anti-glare plexiglass plate for protection. Here are some picts I took with a digital camera: http://www3.sympatico.ca/jekalpin/Lexus.html
Let me know what you think. Anyone else have any good frames????
I just brought the same frames for my silver IS tooo. Only difference is I used the cut out frame in the front. Did you have a hard time fitting it over the front plate holder? I had to clip the corners to it would fit flush.
They were not cheap but the quality is amazing. The thing I like about them is the fact that they are made of heavy chrome plated brass and the chrome "Lexus" letters stick out in a 3D way. Its kinda funny how many nice cars you see on the road with really ugly looking license plates/frames. I think it spoils the whole look of the car when you have a rusty old plate on the back. Its even worse when you have a ugly faded plastic frame with dealer advertising on it. I couldn't find nice frames at any of my local stores so I just ordered them and had them shipped. Canadian customs burned me for some extra taxes...but they look good.

I usually wash my car by hand with car wash soap. The car looks good cause I just waxed it. There appears to be much discussion over which wax is the best. My friends all use Zymol on their IS300s but I use a less obscure wax called "Liquid Glass". Makes the paint extremely slippery and isn't too difficult to apply.

FYI: There is a IS 300 frame available. I think they run around $40 or so but they are chrome and say IS 300 in black. Very nice in my opinion, guess that is why I bought one.
Hello I am new to this forum and I have officially made my mind to buy an IS300. The one I may get will probably be an 03, 04, or an 05. So I wanted to ask you guys what maintenance are the most important for the car and what mods do you guys recommend.
I recently purchased a manual swapped 2005 IS300 SportCross that needs some help. The W55 transmission and all the required swap components came from a donor IS300 manual sedan. After fixing a cylinder 6 misfire (bad coil), the engine is running great. However, I am not too happy with that...
Hello everyone,
New to this community here. I am looking to purchase a 2001 IS as a DD for around $4k. Just wanted to know if this was a good deal, and what I should be looking out for with something that high of mileage. It's mainly going to be used just to get to and from work, about 7...
