I think it looks great. If you wanted to make it look stock, you could get an AVS switch which is also a 2 position switch and then rub out the sport and normal lettering and make it say on and normal instead.

you'll have to probably find one used or go to ebay and search lexus datasystem but it will run you probably $270 after shipping.

Yes but it's better to make sure you get flat rate pricing. The Vaistech dealer who did my kit quoted me $75 and an hour but as a flat rate price regardless of how long it actually takes. In the end it took him longer than he expected but I am sure he would have done it faster the next time round because he was learning as he was going.

The guy who did that deal with me is no longer selling these kits.

The other people are these ones:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DATAS...ht_3643wt_1062

I've bought stuff from them before. Shipping is $24, so it comes out to $269. If you email the guy, I am sure he will do it for $250 if you paypal him directly and avoid the ebay commission.

Is there anyway to fit the PS system or Data system switch in the coin box?

You could do that if the cable is long enough, but I don't think that's the best place because the center console area is much easier to access. Coin box is obstructed by steering wheel so you can't see it easily and might press the wrong button.

These are the best mounting options imo.







This is a very bad location to put it because its a pain to reach. You want to be accessible so you can switch on and off without distraction.
