Very nice build! Have always been subscribed to this tread.
Are you able to direct me to where you sourced your JDM headlights+harness/module? I have been always wanting to change my Xenon headlights to LED headlights. This may help me pull the trigger (or maybe if you are selling your USDM ones haha)

Aw man that's awesome, do you happen to know the part number of the JDM headlight + module? Seeing your setup is tempting me to get the JDM one over the USDM one

Moving right along, we now are installing a Fsport Air Intake that I recently pieced together.
But there's a twist to it!
Before going out and purchasing the 3IS Fsport Air Intake kit, I noticed that the 2IS kit had a pipe with a Fsport emblem welded into place.
This got me curious and I wanted it more than the plain pipe that comes with the 3IS kit. So I did some research and found out that I can buy all the pieces individually in the kit as well as buy the 2IS pipe individually.
A small part of me was worried that it may not fit but since all the other 2IS intake out in the market transferred over to the 3IS just fine then it should in theory work. I priced it out purchasing it separately and it came close to purchasing a full 3IS kit. I went ahead and placed order for all the individually pieces.
Installing it......
And what do you know it works and looks awesome. Most people will miss this small detail but those that do spot it would appreciate it.
Here's a video of installing it....Subscribe to my youtube channel for more videos in the future like this!

One last shot of the JDM headlights with the clear reflector now with the bumper back on the car. So in love with this right now.

Great build! Quick question about the intake. I priced out the parts individually like you did via lexuspartsnow.com at around $365. (I too want the welded logo)
However, they also have 14+ 3IS intake for $322 with the description stating that it includes the welded logo on pipe. What do you think, is this a mistake? I would much rather save $40!

The fsport airbox cover I purchased second hand used actually.
3IS never got the pipe with the welded on emblem. I think that is a mistake on their wording.
Is $40 worth the extra embossed emblem to you? It is to me if I was comparing those two prices.

Not really a concern to me, if it is a problem I'll just aim the passenger side up higher to see signs on the right shoulder.

Picked up some OEM Illuminated Door sills, Normally they come with 4 pcs (two back pieces with aluminum inserts) but I was only able to get the fronts from the guy I purchased it from.
What I found out that was interesting is that these work via Fiber optic lighting Which i found very interesting.
So the curious me as always, tore apart the Little module the fiber optic cable went into to get light from.
Turns out it is just a standard LED board, Very easy to get a different color light up if someone needed to, Just swap the color LED bulb out. Me personally i'll leave it White though
Here's also a quick video I made playing around with the panel with a flashlight off my phone to show how easy it is to just shine a different color light down it to get the color desired.
