Well the install required him to drill some holes on the back, not to happy about that but it came out good, I left the car and he did the work the next day as I had work, I got there when he was taking my back seat out, he said the rear emblem brake light had to be attached to my brake pedal, since I have the ribbon for all the electronics. Its a labor intensive job I will say, tomorrow after work I will post some pics of the wiring and where he tucked it.

That actually came out really well. It could have been really really bad. Shocked at how much I like it.

Yeah when he told me that he was gonna drill the trunk I got really worried, I thought it would look terrible but he did an excellent job.

Thanks everyone as well. I happy as it isnt to bright and flashy.

Yeah its not for many it includes the labor which after how long it took him makes sense since he started at 6:30PM and didnt finish tell 6:21PM minus 8PM-8AM.

Default $600??

- Yeah, it looks nice, but shelling out $600 for a $10 piece of plastic isn't my idea of a good investment. I think I'll just get the $25 one from Ebay.

The one from ebay is different to this one, ebay one uses your emblems back with a led ring, this one uses plexi glass cut around the lexus symbol, and to my knowledge there isnt a brake color changing and signal color changing emblem on ebay. Just my two cents on the difference, they ar unique and not many people will cough up the money to do it and I like that cause it makes it exclusive. Here is the pic from the build of it.
