Where did you buy the car key cover? Can you remove the manual key in the fob without needing to remove the case?

Bought it from ebay for 8 bucks, Sewell sells the same one for $14. You can remove the manual key without removing the case.

Emblem seems out of place.
Doesn't render too will with the other accents on the vehicle.

How well does the FOB slide in your pocket with the silicone condom?

Do the LED lights appear more blue, or white?
Was planning to install them too, but I'm so very lazy.

I've always thought the F-Sports should have an F emblem on the back, especially since the rear of the car is identical to non-F models. In the above picture the angle of the F appears to go decently enough with the crease in the trunk to its left but, that said, I think the emblem ought to go on the right like on the IS-F.

Ill probably remove the emblem after a week.

The FOB is small, so it slides in and out smoothly.

LED are exact color as you see in the picture, Ill say close to 6k a little bluish.
I installed two universal 12 smd led panel and one 24 smd led panel on each dome. I purchased It from AMazon. I saved $$ compared to buying custom LED panels that the vendors sells here.

No pics but its very easy. Same procedures as taking the dome light, just take a flat head on one side and pry it open gently.
