Impressed with the quality of them.
They are chunky with heat sink built in to them.
Factory ones look like Chinese imitation.
They are now in my spare parts section in the garage

Do they wash it again for free if it rains within a certain amount of time of you paying for a wash?

By now, everyone must know that "Car Wash" is the Voodoo phrase for "Let it Rain"...

Not really today, but in the past few weeks:



detailing garage at apt

fog and ls grille

experimental light bar (took it off immediately)

shadow ambient

rhythmic symphony



Also did a few more things not pictured:

through brake light strip (work in progress)

Key remote starter (work in progress)


rear view camera rain guard

curtesy/puddle projector light lexus logo

oem illuminated door sill white

rear seat table

wireless passenger seat adjust remote so driver can access rear seat table easy

c3x openpilot, phone mount, aawireless, visor tablet

door/hood resonance sound dampening (butyl), wheel well foam tbd

radar detector uniden r4

seat gap jams

silence armrest w/ cloth tape

silence dash w/ cloth tape

silence seat rub w/ velcro tape

floor mats

window tint (shop)

rear view auto shade blackout fabric

hardwire (parking mode) rear view mirror camera / dashcam

Trunk led strip

backseat kick plates

carista

install weize AGM group 47 battery ( was thinking of doing a second in parallel because these batteries are dirt cheap, but decided against it )

pedestrian alert sound deadening to bring it down to sane decibels. This was really only an issue on the 2019-2020 hybrid, since 21+ got a secondary speaker in the back.




Thinking about adding slow close doors, but they are a bit pricey at $100/each, and could potentially cause headaches if they break.
May do the projectlithium HV pack when my warranty runs out in like 100k more miles.
Also purchased some pre cut PPF but after reviewing how much skill it takes to do right, I may skip
