My $.02, I plastidipped mine and it looked really nice, decided to peel the grill surround back to chrome. The fins on the grill just look much better black and plastidip is barely any work to do. Pics on my build thread of both options if your interested.
Wind deflectors for the doors/windows. OEM/JDM are the best looking but pricier around $400. AVS look similar to those for about $100 but not as nice. I went Weathertech since they sit in the window but I've had AVS before, subtle addition to dress it up a bit.

Or even remove the L emblem if possible??

Very clean.
Changes I would make:
Blacked out F Sport grille.
Wald rear trunk spoiler.
Carbon Creations J carbon fiber front lip.
Invidia midpipe.
PPE headers.

Did you tape over the Lexus emblem when you plasti dipped your grill insert? I've heard of people doing it both ways.. dip over it then go with a small exacto knife and cut it out.. or taping it off and peeling the tape off after. And did you just do flat black or a coat of the glossifier as well?

Wald spoilers I definitely like.. I'd want it molded right in if i did go that route..
I don't want to change the sound of the tanabe so I won't be buying a midpipe.. PPE headers is definitely a consideration though.. do they change the sound much? I don't want it any louder/ more ricey

Nothing panned for interior really.. I have the dome lights swapped for LED's as well as the map lights.. my car already has the illuminted door sills which i absolutely love.. I'm not too fancy on switching out trim and what not.. but I'm open to suggestions haha

Black roof spoiler
That spoiler lookes really clean on your car 
. I wanted to get one on mine as i have a black car as well. I was worried that it might blow off at high speeds if its just glued on 
... how has yours held up so far?

3M high strength 2 way tape (grey and red) with adhesive promoter.
Apply 3m tape to spoiler after applying adhesive promoter (leave gaps for water to escape don't try to "seal" the spoiler to the back window). I then applied adhesive promoter to the window in the location the spoiler was going to sit. I had a buddy helping me on the passenger side of the car.. peel off the red backing.. line up as best you can and slap'er on there. I put a towel overtop of the spoiler and left 2 cases of water on it overnight.. She not going nowhere!!
Been on there for 2 years.. I don't even think about it anymore.. However my car is NOT winter driven
