Looks good. To remove the tail lights, there is a plastic panel on each side of the trunk behind the light. Remove the panel. twist out the upper light bulb and then disconnect the small white harness.
You can reach one 10mm nut with a socket, the other 2 will need a 10mm wrench to access, Why they couldn't make the panel big enough to access all 3 with a ratchet is beyond me.

Wrap came out good. Still need to do some minor things on it when I get back to Vegas. Only had about 30 seconds of sun today so grabbed a few pics before the rain started.

Mann your wrap looks so sexy💦💦! Did you dip the trim pieces or also wrap? Man I must say Lexus did a excellent job on our 16s looks like a completely different car from the 13-15. And thanks cause I am putting red overlays on my turn signals. I photoshopped a picture of my car to how I want my back to look I already did the chrome trim. So now only left is the overlays whhich the wrap should be arriving by next week. Here is the photoshop pic and my car currently

We wrapped them. It was an extremely time consuming process. The rear chrome piece took about 90 minutes.
2 hours to do the rear wing. I need to redo the logo. Some chrome is showing through. It is all wrapped in a matte metallic gray that matches the magnetic gray Toyota uses. We wrapped the mirrors in the same color with a matte black facing the inside.
