The 4th pic and the last pic are awesome shots..i love that look that the level adjustment gave you...also camera angle is perfect..makes the car stand out and look powerful...when are ya gonna ditch those wheels?..some bronze or hyperblack wheels would look amazing on that color..

thanks all for the kind words. the wheels are going to stay until i get another job. unfortunately i was just laid off.

the next purchase was going to be a rmm lip for it. but yeah, who knows now.

also would love to repurchase my ultrasonic lenses again. sold them to a buddy and regretted it eversence.

for the question on the nav unit here is a write-up i combined hope it helps!

here is a write up i did. hope it helps once you fix the wire issue. the is cut and pasted from several other threads. I believe is_300ftw is the one that figured out the power, acc and wiring pins on the nav unit. LO_21 and i have been trying to figure out the illumination portion. the connections on the radio i was able to figure out thanks to a multimeter.
hope this helps(dont rep me, this is just a consolidation from hundreds of posts)

well, i bought the motorized nav housing that had the original screen and motor and circuit board inside.

so all i had to buy was the alpine tme-m760 screen and the pac7 video bypass(so that i can see the screen image while driving)

soon i plan on buying the alpine gps navigation and it will be complete.

if you car doesnt come with the nav housing, you will not have the socket with all the wires needed to power the nav housing(to get it to open and tilt accordingly) so what you have to do is carefully solder power, accessory, ground and illumination +/- to the pins on the back of the housing from wires on the plug of the radio.

as long as you take it step by step you can do all this. but it helps if you have someone that is familiar with wiring.

now if you dont have the motorized navigation housing already. then you need to order the following parts from lexus:

Parts Needed:

Open/Close Button 84932-53020

Gear 55678-51010

Purchased from Home Depot
1. Threaded Brass Rod (thinnest one available) 1 foot
2. Machine Screw Nut (yellow package) #6 – 32
3. Metal Screw (red package) #8 x 5/8”
4. Metal Screw and Nuts (red package) #4 – 40 x ¼”
These are referenced as 1, 2, 3, and 4.

if you unplug the plug from the back of the radio and look at it head on(pin side, not wire side)

RADIO SIDE-------->NAVIGATIOn LARGE SOCKET
pin 1 is power-------goes to top right of socket(pin1)
pin 11 is acc--------bottom right of socket(pin 14)
pin 20 is ground-----bottom left of socket(pin 25)
pin 2 illumination (+)------above ground(pin 13)
pin 12 illumination (-)------next to power(pin 2)

then you have to find a way to mount whatever screen you choose inside the motorized housing. because i bought the one with the oem screen inside the tme-m760 fit in the aluminum cage that the oem screen sits in. i had to use a dremel to remove some of the plastic to fit the controls for the screen. but just take it slow.
all this wiring is done at your own risk. the illumination +/- is the only wiring im not 100% sure yet. it matches the lexus wiring schematic but i havent gotten a chance to wire mine up yet.
