Looks like I can reliably get the rear JDM cup holders if anyone is interested. Keep in mind there is around a two week lead time from Japan. Meaning that once paid it takes about 2 weeks to get into the USA.
*EDIT: No longer offering this service. Too many people flake out and ruin it for others. IF you want one, payment must be sent first. I will no longer front the cost of these.
Are the Blue F Sport springs lower than the OEM F Sport springs?
The blue f-sport springs are 1" lower. The OEM F-sport springs don't lower the car from non f-sport models. The shocks are different between the two and the springs are different but they aren't lower between base/f-sport.
Only the actual blue colored f-sport springs will lower the car 1"
These are what they look like. Mine were BNIB from England.
Time to start changing the ugly green leds to white. I bought about 40 different white leds from mouser to test out on. I ended up going with a very similar, if not identical white led that is used in all modern Lexus cars. It's not a cold pure white color, nor is it yellow. It's in between. Very easy to read, and very easy on the eyes which is the look I was going for. I've put in pure white bright leds in before and it was way too distracting.
Pictures make it look pure white, but it's not. Really no good way of capturing it unfortunately with my camera phone.
Sure is, but it's OEM so sometimes just gotta pay to play. Fills out the rear area nicely and now if I want to add a USB port in the back have another place to store a device or monster can..lol
FINALLY...! Almost completely done. Custom clear reflectors for our headlights. (Not for face lifted style or factory LED headlights), For normal halogen headlights. This will replace the ugly amber reflector in our lights, but unlike the JDM version of the headlight that does not have amber leds behind it, this will reflector the amber light properly. This will make our headlights look like the Euro/JDM clean look.
I had to have 10 sets made or it wouldn't have been made. Most are clear with two of them being light smoke color. I figured if someone wanted dark smoke they could just us VHT nightshades on their reflector and save $90...etc.
This is going to be the same OEM shape/size/detail as you can see in the picture.
If anyone is interested in a set please let me know. This will more than likely not be made again as I fronted the entire cost of production so I could have a clear set for my projector retrofit that I am doing later in the month. I've been waiting since December/January on these...

Pricing seems to be around $230ish depending on exchange rates and then factor $20-30 shipping via USPS priority mail in the USA. These are brand new/sealed in a factory Lexus box as you can in the below picturs (left one is new, right one is used) . Still, MUCH cheaper than Lexus Boutique is charging... Please note I'm not setting the price, I'm just simply acting as the middle proxy. Just trying to help people attain something rare that has been talked about and or showed interest but couldn't find the means to get it in the country....(IE: the crap I had to go through to get power folding mirrors for my RCF, customs, 3rd party proxy, exchange rate conversions, that took me almost two years to source/complete..etc.)
Pretty trick though that's for sure!

Wish we could get somebody with a 3D printer to print some replicas of those cup holders and sell for much cheaper. I'd do it myself if I was good with and had a printer.
Totally agree. I have a 3d printer but the build plate isn't large enough for the cup holder to be printed in one piece. If I get the printer I want then easily could print it. I would just need someone to 3d scan it.
But you can get them on yahoo auctions when they pop up for much cheaper than what Lexus Boutique is charging via the outragous amount + shipping. But in the grand scheme of things a couple hundres bucks for a cool mod made by an OEM maufacture isn't too bad.
Clear headlight reflectors have arrived!!! Finally, after 5 months of waiting.
LMK if anyone is interested in a pair. They won't be made again, and I doubt they'll be here for long.
I decided to paint the chrome projector shrouds in anodized blue. It goes with the blue hybrid theme.
Also testing the smoked and clear side marker lenses.
Stock chrome Duplicolor metal cast blue Shiny anodized look Clear side marker lense Light smoke side marker lense
Together in my test headlight. Just seeing how it might look. These are all scratched up compared to my good headlights on the car. These are what I use for testing and taking apart..etc
Got the taillights! w00t w00t. Unfortunately, two of the lights were damaged. Bell is taking care of it though so hopefully I'll have the replacements in a couple weeks.
I'm still waiting on my die's to arrive for my crimpers and a missing connector. So I can't do anything anyways until all that comes in to make a wiring harness.
