4. Door Projectors (Aliexpress)

Now just need to get F Sport Pedals, Camera Cover and possibly Noise Reduction Rims (but I probably wont since I have dent and rim coverage)




are those tire caps plastic? Careful if not.

Good call, they are metal, the danger is in corrosion/sticking to the stem correct? Definitely will keep an eye out (and see if I can find a nice plastic looking alternative). The listing says it has protection, but considering its not a big brand or anything thats dubious.

Hi PrznPrince,

I’ve been looking for those chrome interior trim pieces for my 22 but haven’t had any luck. The link you posted brought me to a seller, but I see no Lexus-specific parts. Any chance you can provide more details? Car looks great by the way. Love the door projectors, but I’m too much of a chicken to attempt the install.

Thanks!

Disregard. Found all 3 items I was looking for.

Ah nice, sorry I didn't reply sooner, which ones are you going for, this seller has alot of nice things, I'm kind of tempted for the peachwood piece for the Steering wheel but not sure if its a 100% match for the Walnut interior wood

No worries. Yeah, that seller has a ton of products.

I’m buying the door air vent trim, the armrest switch button trim, and the door lock trim. Really just a few pieces, but it should add quite a bit.

There will never be any corrosion. BTW i bought those same L logo caps and they were a bit too small, didn't screw all the way down. So I bought a beefier one.

and did red euro style LEDs.

also if you want more ideas for the tinkerers, i added a sub/amp combo, plug and play. and did all three dash speakers + front door speakers. all 100% reversible.

I forget.. i think i posted some wiring details in the subwoofer thread. i had to purchase the TIS subscription to figure out the amp wiring. the amp is under the driver's seat where you tap the signal for your new amp/sub.

I saw some earlier posts in this thread on the F Sport Conversion which look really cool, but wondering if anyone has experience with exterior adhesive modifications? I was looking at something like this for the air vents on the front which look really nice, but wondering how reversable these are, I'd love to do something like this or chrome handles for more of an LS vibe, but I'd hate to damage the paint if I needed to take them off

What speakers did you use? Did you just do a swap on stock amp?

Swapped out the factory courtesy door light bulbs for some green ones. Had to slightly modify the bulb housings in order to get the new leds to fit properly.

Disagree. While I personally wouldn't do it, this strikes me as an unnecessary slam at the poster's personal taste. This thread is supposed to be all about personalization. The poster expended money and effort to do this, and he didn't hurt anybody. I'm glad he enjoys the fruits of his work.

Thank you for your input. Also, you're not too far off with the age, I'm only 18 years old LOL.
