Longer than 30 day backorders WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED. If you opt to have us "send backorders later", backordered items will ship automatically within 30 days IF we are able to get them. As a result, we have had to change our BACKORDER ACQUISITION TERMS OF SERVICE. Additionally, a lack of backorder ETA information is a frustrating "new normal" for our hobby. Supply-chain disruptions have hampered our ability to acquire/restock items reliably. Please read this notice and only continue if you are willing to abide by our updated backorder acquisition and fulfillment terms of service. **If you decide to wait until our online checkout resumes accepting new orders, we recommend to copy and paste to save the items in your cart (that includes links back to the item listings), just in case your browser does not save your cart.** Our checkout system will re-open to accept new order requests again on FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5th at 12:00pm NOON (MST) Your understanding is appreciated while our company works to do what we still can to serve the aircooled VW hobby. We are also undergoing some internal restructuring to adapt to the changes our business has faced these past two unusual years. We continue to answer emails as best we can, but we are operating with less than half of our normal staff, so please be patient. Restock ETAs for backordered items are often either unavailable, or unreliable. ORDER FULFILLMENT DELAYS: Many popular products are delayed or in short supply. For these reasons we are temporarily and periodically halting the acceptance of new orders, while we focus our resources instead during that time to catch up on the existing backlog of delayed/backordered order requests. We are severely short-staffed, and have depleted inventory due to ongoing supply-chain backorders. We are sorry for the inconvenience of this TEMPORARY closure of our online checkout. ALREADY SUBMITTED ORDER REQUESTS ARE BEING FULFILLED/SHIPPED as product availability allows On both models, the spindle generates lines that flow back from the front of the car through the bonnet and headlamp units to create a strong and distinctive frontal appearance, reinforcing the brand-defining ambitions of the original concept.OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is TEMPORARILY PAUSED/CLOSED until FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5th at 12:00pm NOON (MST). Its impact is heightened by the adjacent frontal areas being contrast-finished in black, the low bonnet line and more boldly shaped front wings. Nonetheless, the spindle shape remains prominent in a central front panel, finished in the car’s body colour. As a battery electric vehicle, this requires less cooling than a car with a conventional engine, so the grille has been dispensed with, giving the designers greater freedom. The same concept has been applied to the RZ 450e. The lower section retains a mesh pattern, while the upper section takes in the lower edge of the bonnet the Lexus emblems sits at the centre of the spindle’s high pinch-point. This “spindle body” approach is part of the Lexus Next Chapter design for the all-new RX, where the grille is reinterpreted as a seamless unit that flows into the bodywork. Today, the original grille concept is the starting point for a more radical application of the spindle shape in which it becomes an integral part of the vehicle’s overall design.

It has progressed to become a hallmark expression of Lexus’s L-finesse design, adopted not only for road-going cars, but also incorporated in the futuristic Skyjet spacecraft created for the Lexus-supported movie Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and adopted as a design motif in the Loft, the award-winning Lexus and Brussels Airlines lounge at Brussels Airport. It may look aggressive at first glance, that’s intentional, but it also conveys its boldness with sophistication and elegance.” Speaking at the time of the grille’s debut, the then Head of Lexus Kiyotake Ise said: “You should be able to identify a car as a Lexus immediately… Instant visual recognition, for example, is the reason behind our spindle grille. Since then, it has been constantly adapted to suit the character of each successive Lexus model, with different mesh patterns, dimensions and finishes. The spindle grille has been an unmistakeable Lexus feature since it was first revealed on the LF-Gh concept model of 2011, the basis for the fourth generation GS executive saloon that was launched the following year. In tune with a new era of electrified vehicles, the distinctive shape is evolving into a new “spindle body,” as seen on the upcoming new generation Lexus RX SUV and the all-electric RZ. After 10 years as a defining style feature of every new Lexus model, the famous spindle grille is undergoing a transformation.
