Looking good, sir. How do you find the top rear spoiler? From reading reviews, there seem to be a number of cheap poorly-adhering ones out there.

How did you do the front and back emblems? Did you need to remove them? Does the front tint affect the radar at all? I noticed on the pre-cut front tints online, it says "not for PCS/radar".
the typical tiny is too dark, this is the lightest available and has about a 70% transparency, I use cruise control daily and it function normally

Thanks, so they said it was 1J7 but it didn't match? Might as well get unpainted then.

no, it matches perfect, I just don’t use the knock off 3m tape they provide and buy the real stuff to secure it on the car

A service advisor who recommends modifying a sensor (or, in this case, the protective cover in front of a sensor) to a drivability and safety component is an advisor creating a liability for the company.

your really reaching now. I never said he Recommend anything, I asked him to check if the sensor is functioning normally and it is. Please leave the thread, your assumption and reaching is getting tiresome.

How did you do the rear Lexus logo? Did you need to take it off and restick it?
