Installed new NGK spark plugs, and swapped out AC filter. Looking to test fit my step-lip bersaglios today.

I finally pick up my LS from the wheel repair shop today. I have been driving an LS460 and LX470 around this past week which has been nice.

I'm considering buying an LS460 one of these days. It was a very enjoyable experience.

I also ordered a new taillight for my sister's LS430. All she will need now is exhaust tips and wheels. I'm giving her my 4.5 inch Borla tips.

I'm going to do a quick polish with Meg's also on mine. What are you using to protect them?

Ok, now I'm feeling silly ... I didn't realize there was something else that was supposed to go on after the PlastX. Suggestions?

You can always use some sort of sealant or wax really. I usually use Meg's ultimate wax.

Would this work? I always thought people sprayed a clear coat, but I just saw some YouTubes saying never do that (the coat was flaking off?).....

I used a poly sealant (Klasse) which is fine but this is a routine task for our head lights to polish them,,,,,

Yup, eventually all headlights will need some polishing.

I tried to install my carbon fiber TRD antenna and found out it didn't fit. It ended up fitting the SC though.
