Hi I've come across like a dilema. My car is a 2013 Lexus IS300H 2.5 Petrol Hybrid RWD premier 2 trimm. So I have currently Vented Rotors on the rear I've never changed them and I'm not sure the size, by looking of the sites of parts in Ireland it says 290mm Rotors but they mostly come in Solid and I think it won't fit on my calipers. Other sites say 310mm Rear vented rotors will fit on 300H when I put in the reg plate. Is there a possibility how to measure the Rotors that is on the car? I wanted to get Mtech rotors as the price is way better and honestly looks cool as well. Front I'm getting a 334mm 62.5mm Centering. it's rotor for GS Advics system since I'm planing on putting on 4 piston calipers on the front as they are directly bolt on. So my question is how to know if I have 290mm Vented rare or 310mm Vented?

That's an amazing car! wolf in sheep's coat haha love the number plate 😄 what's next on the list for mods?

That is one hot ride!

Just picked up my new/used gs450h front Advics calipers and discs excited to work on the car again improve it. Now to repaint them and maybe get new kit to refurbish them but the guy said they in working order. So we will see how it goes.

So still waiting on side skirts and front lip from ebay and rear diffuser fins. So far only thing done to the car is wrapped the grille myself to gloss black but not happy about it might redo it later when I have mood haha thinking of ordering spoiler lowering springs or coils. Saving up for brakes or new exhaust haven't decided yet which to get. Also installed mood lighting into the foot wells app control and reacts to music pretty cool also have diamond car mats on the way.

Very nice and clean, what's up next the body or Keeping it more or less stock? I'm saving for big brake kit like from the GS 450h Advics 4 piston calipers they bolt on fronts on IS only need different rotors I believe.

So the first set of LEDs were cheaper ones and well you get what you pay for they did work they were not too much brighter then the stock ones just abit and they only hyperflash on the turn signals not hazards not lock unlock so I decided to so research and I could make them work with additional money to spend on resistor wire which made ot obnoxiously expensive and they didn't fit like sit in the plug port nicely. So after some time on Amazon found that Tuicyn brand has small LEDs really bright with built in resistor and they have nice plug piece so ordered 4 of those and installation of those was a breeze and they fascinated me with brightness and sharpness of the signal now I need to tint the lights in the rear for sure haha so if anyone looking for a amber turn signals LEDs Tuicyn is the brand that I suggest and I'm pretty picky. Also another update today ordered rear diffuser shark fins and side skirts extension and front lip from ebay it will arrive at end of October probably maybe November but the price was good compared to AliExpress and wish and Amazon. The first cheaper LEDs I got. These are the Tuicyn ones Here are some shots of the car at a car meet latest ones needs a wash badly. Also Changed the cabin filter to a Bosh hypoallergenic anti pollen carbon one it was only one I could find so I just went with it.

So went to the breakers today and found out no 300h are for breaking. Was looking for a trunk dome light and the knee bolster for my buddy he has like plain 300h has plastic pieces instead of leather lined knee bolster on the console anyone knows the part number of it? Figured out that the Avensis 09 has the the non t10 socket but it's same but then luck struck and found totaled auris 2016-2018? And it has the t10 plug and got it for like 3£ or so

This is what I want to get in the end like only race yellow and black lettering LEXUS just need to find who can cnc me a ls460h rear caliper braket adapter to IS300h

Yeah ISF's GSF's are wayy to expensive for this car but Advics Calipers look nice have abit more stopping power less service like Compared to stocks. Also I have done my research when I bought the wheels and they are not agresive offset they are ET40 8.5 so It should be fine if anything I can get a 10mm spacer. And they look candy. I want to make mine in Racing yellow like that. It will be more then enought for a 300H

Next up I think I might get GS350 Calipers Advics ones and LS460H rear or I will try to safe up for ISF calipers But I don't see the point in Brembos on the 300h as it's not really performance tunable 😄 So probably going to get Advics 4 piston ones. As Advics Directly bolts on the IS brake mount just need bigger rottors + Mike V8 had a realy nice video how to restore them 😄 and they don't cost a arm and a leg.

Installed the rear spats NIA style I think? They called universal looks nice and also did my buddies car with the 200t spats from Maxton.

Got the wheels fitted today really excited! They look awesome the Toyo Tires Proxes Sports feel way more stable and smooth to drive then the Goodyears Asymetrics. And yes I know the wheel gap is masive i'm working on it haha Thinking of getting Coils or springs what you guys run?

Tires and front wheels came today! Waiting for back ones now, to mount them up and post pictures!

So it's done boys I've ordered a Set of JR28's in Hyper black 18' 8.5J fronts and 9.5J backs ET40 and got the tires today with wheel nuts. Waiting for the wheels so I can post pictures 😄 I did contact the Japan Racing Wheels asked them what's the best offset they recommend for the IS300h they told me 35 would not fit 9.5J in the back they suggested to get ET40 all around which I did I was considering ET35 but since I'm making them custom PCD and Custom offset cause they don't have 5X114.3 in ET40 9.5 I had to go with what JR's suggested just to be safe ordered them from JDMdistro.

Exactly those sizes I want to get 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 and I am planing to lower it slightly maybe on springs until I save for coils like RSR downs or something. I need to check the original offset on the stock 5 spoke sports wheel. Maybe someone has one laying around? 🤣 So I don't have to take my wheel off

So threw on the JR28's in Hyper black on my car and honestly I think they look fire. Now I'm thinking to get 5x114.3PCD 8.5J 18's ET40 front and 9.5J 18's ET35 back you guys think they would fit? Anyone runs similar offset?

So Someone bought the Works I wanted but I decided to go all out and order JR28's in Hyper black I only need to figure out what offset I want to get and what width. Anyone has any ideas. Like I know that my stock is like 40-42 but it doesn't poke out it's like receded in the arches and I need to figure out what offset will look just right anyone has any expertise?

So recently I got a good deal but I'm not sure guy is selling Works LS406 Mono's with brand new Nankang tires they are square 8.5J ET38 or something like that 225 45R I used photoshop to put them on my car and honestly for the price he offering they don't look that bad. Just not sure should I leave them chrome or make them black 😄 or just keep Stockies and refurbish them instead? Here's a picture of the Works They are chrome 18' And this is how I wanted to make my stockies.

Little update! I finally got all the parts for the badge just waiting for the little spring nut now 😄 Here are some pictures I painted the stock chrome L with primer 3 coats or 4 I think and 4-5 coats of Black gloss enamel and then put 3-4 coats of clear coat. I first time painted anything with spray-paints so Idk I read the instructions and decided to go a bit above the recommended amount just to be sure in the end the paint turned out to but like vinyl when I took it off the yellow sticky paper the inverted painted surface was like vinyl overall I'm happy with the result but not sure if I will be up to the task to paint the chrome grille. Got my little cup holder inserts from Ali Express they didn't fit directly in the cup holder slot so I did next best thing trimmed it down and glued onto of the OEM ones easy to pull out and clean. Also changed the light bulbs to LED in the mirror puddle lights had to dismantle half of the mirror was hard but managed to do it in first try didn't break anything this time 🥴🥴 removed the pesky bulky plate bracket and removed rear bracket screws and put the M6 bolts and sticky tape to hold it in place.

So I've noticed my ML subwoofer grille is popping out and I can't seem to get it back to place and I tried to pop it back but it doesn't so I was thinking to do the upgrade like on US forum a guy did with non ML grilles here's pictures from the US forum. I'm not sure what would be the best glue for the mesh grille anyone has a suggestion?

Has anyone partaken the journey to remove the license plate lights? cause I want to update mine but not sure where or how to get them out. Can someone DM me or post here thanks. On other note got a Nut spring ordered and L Emblem. Pardon for the mess in the boot 😄

So Well here's a update and thanks to LenT for a good tip of a advice since I'm a newbie in car stuff but I'm passionate enough. I've put put Loctite antisieze copper on the tire stems hopefully they will not rust. 🤞 Changed the emblem in the front lost one of the nut springs it yeeted itself into the bottom tray of the car XD since it's hybrid everything is covered on the bottom 🧐 I tried a magnet and stuff nothing it's probably gone about now. Still waiting for L thinking to buy it on eBay or go to a salvage yard and pry one off a RX350? or something. Here are some pics of todays agony changing the can bus lights in the interior also broke the trunk dome light clip. 🤔🤧 Got my steering wheel cover but not sure if I'm up to the task to sew it myself. 🥴

What you used to mount the plate? Screws into the bumper or?

Ah damn! Maybe I could put like antisieze or something like that on the thread caus they are metal 🤔
