Whoismiled (other guys too ) thinks for share that all with us. For me the F-Sport gauge cluster swap is very very nice. But not for a hybride I have only one gear 🤣. But why not one day ?! 🙂

And the Front lower grill fisheye camera + beatsonic it s very nice. Before you didn t have rear camera too or you had? I m intressting, I would be sure when I park my car the front bumper don t hit somethings hiden.

Yes, my car has a OEM backup camera. I just added a camera to the front lower grill. Then the beatsonic interface allows me to press a button and it will turn my front camera on, press it again and it turns my rear camera on (anytime I want, car doesn't have to be in reverse), then press it a 3rd time and it will go back to normal screen. It's also programmed to go back to whatever previous screen I was on after 10 seconds of pressing the button and that timer can be changed to whatever timer, or no timer, you want.

The back camera works just as normal when putting the car in reverse, so I just added a front camera and a button to control camera views (beatsonic).

Hope this makes sense

It is not a must to use a soldering Iron. You can simply use crimp / but connectors, like these:



Or you could also have a car audio shop install if for you

If you have access to a press you can buy the bushings only and press them into the oem brackets

Not sure if joking... but just in case you aren't, "LCA" means "lower control arm".

Read about the inner tire wear issues here - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...tire-wear.html

Figs LCA bushings, have you noticed that the car pulling less to the right or the left when you drive fast ? Do you need to add grease ?

Didn't have any pull prior to installation, car was driving fine.
It lost that "dead" or "floaty" sensation at speed and during turning. It comes with grease for the install.
