Slight wear, I shampoo and condition the seat every 6 six months. I try my best to keep the leather from drying out and cracking.

It was my first time vinyl wrapping so it took 3 tries and could still be done again but it'll do, lol. Are you the Jeff selling the USB rear bumper locally by any chance?

Ah. I may have to try that and my window trim at some point. No that's not me. But I know that bumper has been for sale for a long time, haha.

Have most of you wrapped your front end to keep the paint nice, or do you just consider interstate bug carnage part of driving? I just detailed my F and noticed it’s picking up dents, nicks, scuffs, etc. I’m not the biggest fan of Lexus paint.

Gonna try the window trim next weekend probably. Will let you know how it goes.

I just got mine and took that off as it was kind of faded and noticeable next to the unprotected paint which is going to happen over time. There's also a pretty harsh line of where the bumper's been protected and where it wasn't on the lower lip of the bumper now. I'll just take the little rock chips and bug splatters as they come and maybe tape up the front end for extended road trips.

i love the stance. It looks like he can’t run much tire though. I keep dreaming of TEs, but I want a lot of meat under my car.

Doesn't have to be a dream. I'm running 275/35 in the rear on it now, and soon 285/30 which will fit better. That seems to be meaty enough.

I forgot you can see the daily driver behind the F with its 17x7.5 TE's as well. It's a TE37 kinda household.
