As for the fog lights. They came with two switches, one per set of fogs. I chose to not use these individual switches, but rather have the shop wire them to the stock lighting system so that they will work with the stock switch. The down side is that I cannot independently operate them like the SFP F in the youtube Artisan video. It will have to do for now, until I decide if its worth it to re-wire.

^^ It was painfully long John. From the time I decided to competion, it took about 4.5 months (2.5 for kit, 1.5 for wheels. another 2 weeks for shop work). But the end is worth all the anxiety.
As for the clear bra, oh yeah absolutely. I am waiting for a decision on chaning some minor paint scheme to the front bumper before I pull the trigger on the clear bra.

^^ Thanks!
Some of you have asked, so here are the pictures for the door sills and JP neck pad, took last night. Power source for the rear door sill came from the dome light, so they could dim similarly (installer's idea), but really once the doors are shut, you can't see anything. As for price, I want to say $100 for installation, because I had a total bill with other things done to the car.
The Junack sills are the way to go, they are awesome bright! I remember there were disappointments in how dim the Sewells ones were in blue from some members here. As you can see, the blue is reflecting off of the alpine leather in the rear. Sorry for the out-of-focus comparison pic. I couldn't get my camera to focus on the "Lexus" rather than the weather strip...lol.
So who will be the first to have the JDM IS-F door sills? Say it JDM! JDM!

I like the full front bumper. No so much the large vent in front of the wheel.
Glad to hear.
What size are the lights? I have more use for driving lights, I live in deer country.
You can use a relay to fire the lights. Add a diode to the OEM wiring to prevent backfeed and a second control wire to a separate switch and you have the best of both worlds.
