Ceramic tint!
Ceramic all the way, even the sunroof! I’m looking for stock wheels as someone dinged one up already, thinking of what Lexus wheel fits our vehicles? Cheers!

Catching up to to date - windows tinted with CTX 30, self-installed illuminated door sills, self-installed “F Sport” top rear bumper protection appliqué and just took to dealer for 5000 mile/6 month maintenance. So far, all good with no issues. Wishing I could wash it today, but there has been an unusual amount of rain happening in Southern CA.

I ordered a kit from Ebay, it has 6 EL lights and 4 foot well lights and 1 controller for $60.
The lights are controlled via phone bluetooth and is powered by a fuse tap into the accessories terminal.
The panel on each door had to be removed and dozens of screws loosen where the wood trim is to sneak the EL lights between them. This was the most tedious part. This job took me the entire day because i had to experiment where the light would sit securly and look best.
So far 4x El lights on the doors and 4 foot well lights, i still have 2 more EL left that will light up the dash, I will work on that in a few weeks when i have more time. I will post more pics soon!

Question for Canmar8732: Was the AEM Cold Air Intake an easy 60-90 minute install like the AEM website claims? Did you run into any problems?
Also, did you notice any increase in intake noise under heavy throttle?
Thanks.

Yes actually took me 35 minutes to Install, they say 60-90 if you don’t really work on cars on a regular. And my car definitely doesn’t lag any more and response wAyyyy better. It took 3 days for the car’s computer to recognize the intake with the extra air flow.
