i thought you cancelled the order!

Yes they did provide a tracking number. I did send a cancel the order e-mail so either the part came in which in my case is the bracket or they got off the dime. I did get a very nice reply from Anastia saying they were sorry for the delay but they had found and corrected the tech error that caused the delay. Will advise after checking the tracking number on Wednesday to see if it shows up. All the rest of the parts that I have on order are in a Lexus of Tulsa and will pick up next week I hope.

Finally, all of the parts shipped, including the spare tire cover!
it was $188 for everything.
Once it arrives, I will finish the modifications to the existing spare tire parts and have it securely mounted.

here is the current location of my parts...near Tokyo.

Dude not fair. To begin with you are in shorts, not funny. I knew it would not take you long but dame you don't let any grass grow under you. By chance can you post some number on the hole and slot locations. Great pictures. Thanks for posting. You make this look to easy. I hope this goes better than the Techstream nightmare for me.

Does that trunk scuff plate just pop up? I see where 2 of the cushions come out are the other down at the bottom near those slots that you cut out?

LoL, shorts are a must in central Florida! ;-)
it took me about an hour to the trim it up and install the parts.
the small lower bumpers are installed in the pics but hard to see, gotta zoom in a bit.
the holes are factory on the metal in your car. They are covered by black round stickers.
my first install shows them.
its an easy install...

I am talking about the holes you drilled in the rear cover to make it fit over the bracket. The location for the holes you drilled for the 4 cushions and the starter hole for the bracket? What size is the hole saw 1 inch? Why did you cut out the 2 slots at the lower bottom? Did you cut the chunk out on the very bottom, looks maybe 1/2 inch wide and maybe 5 inches long? And please do not rub it in about the shorts being needed in CF. It was 17 this morning when I got up around 07:30. I believe it topped out at 43

That's a clean install Bgw70.
what size wheel/tire did you get?
I found an 18" for $20, will probably be copying what you did. I test fit it on the car and it fits and in the trunk(I'm rolling on 19's and lowered). I'm using centric rings for my wheels, I have to remove the ring to fit the spare and probably get a-corn lug nuts.
The wheel/tire is pretty heavy tho.
Thank you for posting pictures of your set up, easy to follow your steps.
BTW I was wearing shorts today when I was test fitting the spare tire. I'm in soCal.
