Thanks to the others who posted about the door projectors. Added Lexus front and F Sport rears, AEM dry flow air filter and found a good detailer\wax combo from chemical guys







Incredibly slick wet look detailer

Banana scented carnuba wax

Nice reflection on the hood after the detailer wax combo

if you're referring to the lowering springs, got them from Kenji Garage, $280, i work at a dealership in the service department so labor was very little, the wheel spacers came out to about $220 from Kenji Garage also, the black out chrome delete same thing, got the deal with my dealership to have them done at employee rate.

Are the bolt surrounds available online other than AliExpress? I would prefer to buy them through eBay but I can’t see them on that site. I have zero experience buying through AliExpress so I’m a little hesitant.

It is pretty easy and works well buying through AliExpress. Only problem is... you are buying directly from China and it takes a while. Usually you can get things about 70% cheaper than the least expensive place you will find in the United States.

Absolutely beautiful! In my opinion your car is screaming for the final touch up like black door handles and maybe black rear spoiler. Remember Crafted Line edition from 2015? Would you please share how did you cancel the all chrome on the car? Great job anyways! Thanks.

Chrome Delete is a process of Vinyl Wrapping of the chrome. This is performed by specialty shops that wrap cars

On the first application, what you want to do is wash the car like you regularly do, then while the car is still wet spray it with the Hybrid Ceramic Wax and dry the car. So you spray about 3-4 squirts per panel while it is wet and dry it.

After you lay this first base layer, the next time you wash the car and then all the other times after that you just spray the wax on after you wash the car and just rinse it off, once the product is fully rinsed off, you then dry the car. On this rinse application do about 2 squirts per panel because the product spreads.

Im very happy with this product, very easy to apply and gives my pearl white color a deeper , richer look. And it makes it super easy to dry during maintenance washes.
