Thanks!
Vline install was fairly straightforward, followed their install video here -

Unfortunately, I've since returned the unit as the audio experience was sub-par. I like using bluetooth streaming from my phone, and it tended to drop out quite a bit going from my phone to the Vline unit. I may revisit Vline or another option down the line because I do want Android on the headunit one way or another.

New vanity plates came in.
Just keeping the 'koop' theme going.
Been an online handle for many years.




​​​​​​All were previous cars. The gs and the s2000 are the ones with the koop plates currently from the family "fleet".

New wheels/tires for my summer set (oem stays with winters). Was kinda going for an oem+ kinda look, assuming the newer style Lexus mesh wheels.

Stock suspension

No real change in audio quality with the upgraded fronts. Just needed them because one was seemingly blown. And yep, plug and play.

I ordered an f sport bumper through Lexus. What grilled cover did you use for the sides where the fogs go? I can't tell from the pic if there is one there or not, Thank you.

I actually bought these fog lights which came with the bezel.

Nice. Did the fogs plug in to the factory harness and did it work with the factory light stalk since your car came with fogs to begin with? Sorry to pick your brain brother. I appreciate it man.

No worries. I just moved the stock fog bulbs/plug into these new housings. No need to re-wire anything.

Nice. The f sport looks better with fogs imo.

Installed a 12” powered sub. Finally have some good low bass in the cabin. Love it.

How's the sound of the sub? I was thinking of getting the same sub or using one of my old ones. How did you hook it up to the amp?

Sounds good to me, but I'm no audiophile.
Bass can now easily overpower the rest of the speakers if I want to. It's nice to have the wired remote control so I can adjust it on the fly depending on the song.

Oh, I'm a huge audiophile. I want a sub but currently don't have time to make a new box for my current ones. I was hoping this would be a good substitute.

Unfortunately, I can’t quite say if this would be up to your standards. To me though, it sounds great. :P
