From what it looks like it is swappable looks the same shape. Do you mean it looks better than the f sport or the pre refresh?

The F Sport doesn't have this feature.

Sure, the front end is growing on a lot of people, including me, BUT would definitely look 10x better with the multi-projector headlights like Lexus had anticipated.

The vents are non functional. Just like the CT fsport.

It better be some high quality film, and tinted all around.
Luckily, I found a 3M tint certificate in the glove compartment with lifetime warranty. Any clue how that is worth? Thx

Thanks @JDR76, it's a crappy deal though, two semi-basic options not available on the F Sport: The side mirror tilt on reverse, and the Park Assist. Any clue why that is the case? I looked around this community, and seems adding the Park Assist is an expensive exercise $1,400 plus if it can be done that is. Requires removing the bumpers, etc. But I would think adding the side mirror tilt is a more realistic/achievable retrofit? I may ask Lexus Parts, but if you have any ideas, pls let me know.

Depends on which line of 3M you got. Usually, the price starts at ~$250 and up to ~$800 installed.

Also, if the installer is a pro and reputable that would be a factor too.
