Since it had a front plate bracket being a northern car and all, the easiest option was get something I like to put on it. There’s a couple subtleties that may or may not be noticed. We’ll see.

Well, I see a foreign language. And an engine code.

But what foreign language?

I think the JDM-ness is under appreciated.

Why not ditch the bracket entirely? Please tell my they didn’t cut into the bumper to put that plastic rectangle there

On mine, someone made a crude attempt to fill the bracket holes. I put googly eyes on top of them, but they’re not going to last. Frankly I might just fill a bit and then cover the whole thing in plastidip, since I have paint chips there too.

It’s probably drilled underneath

Ooh is a custom tag with 2UR-GSE available in Tennessee? That would be a pretty awesome subtle one that nobody but enthusiasts would even notice.

Wrong shade of yeller, my Nippon scratch is pretty poor. The top line should represent kanji of the issuing office and vehicle class code, with the bottom line is code that is supposed to identify the car itself. Kanji is Japanese represented with Chinese characters which I’ve been struggling with for years with little success, but then again, I have enough trouble with English.

I wish I knew about the class code so i could have put that. I just put year there. The top left is the region and it says Nagoya which is where Toyota and Lexus are based. Of course you know what 2UR is.

I have seen Nagoya kanji before but no way in hell I would catch that.

and of COURSE I’ve seen 2UR - clearly it’s the first 3 letters of a Lexus VIN.

Nice! I have a bad habit of pre-downshifting to pass and rolling for a minute in 4th-5th. Also, 5-100 on an onramp before merging is a piece of cake out here.

I forget Sport mode is a thing because the car is so fast already. I want to get a $1500 Miata now because this thing is in “GO to jail fast” so quick and all the time.

If the law firm I typically go to to handle my worst speeding tickets found out I have this car they would probably have a party in my honour.

Sport mode seems to not matter much if you are in MF mode, as it tends to just keep high throttle applications in Auto in the gear you are in instead of upshifting. I turn it on anyway, as the drive by wire tends to lean towards a less aggressive throttle profile.

I never really knew about the ISF much before, it seems interesting for sure just looking at the specs. Is there a coupe equivalent to this platform?

The RCF is the same 2UR-GSE but tuned up to 464ish hp. They didn’t make it it until 2015 though so they still go fro about 45-50k on the low end.

While I am enjoying entertaining the idea the logistics in June will be tough as there is kid-sitting involved and my wife and I’s work schedules don’t always jive.
