Thought this would be a good thread so I will start.

I got the windows tinted

The front is not as dark as it looks in the pic. Still dark it is 70% others 5% around.

Also, if you want to retro-add what you did go for it.

Where did you get the door trim in CF? And is it an overlay?
And as far as the phone mount, this is exactly how I wish I could mount my phone. Is it just a CD player phone mount that you've squeezed between the center console and the knee pad?

The only thing I have done to my 500 is swap my wheels and add the RCF LCA bushings

Hi,
It's CF trim with 3M tape. Got it from eBay. Quality is actually quite good and fits over existing OEM piece. As for the phone mount, it's from here . It was originally for my Spyder, but since I sold the car, I found it can also be used for the Lexus as well. It's the same concept as the CD player phone mount but secured in between the console and knee pad, like you noticed.

Well , today, got a ding on one of my doors because no matter how far away from the front entrance of the mall I park, some absolute idiot in a minivan decides to park right next to me.
Sorry, off topic . LOL

I did not like how 80's the halogen door courtesy lights looked on this Lexus, so I decided to modernize it a bit.

^^ I hope these are not the sites you visit, some pretty kinky stuff in there (LMAO)

TGPCanada - I am so sorry about your door ding - Hope you won't go through the same ordeal as Arentz in getting it fixed - Is this a theme with the red cars??

LMFAOOO. Of course you would actually read them. I just scrolled by until I saw your post and I have to agree. Quite the array of fetishes...
