Shark fin removal? Probably in the thread named "How to remove shark fin on roof".

License plate and all others are here.

For common things like interior lighting, don't be afraid to look in the 2IS section. LOTS of good help there for the usual mods.
in what way are the headlights uniquely different from the regular HID AFS headlights from the 06-08s?

I love the one touch sun roof control on the dial. It even closes the tilt function.....

I recently discovered this on this forum and never knew the button could be just pushed!

Not sure, The part number for the F headlight is not used on any other Lexus.

Did you use this function with the fob in your hand and have to be close to the trunk ? I don"t know why mine does not work when i try to press the square button out side the trunk.

It could have been turned off. If you have Techstream you can turn it on.

All depends on what you choose to play through it. Music with lots of artificial bass does not reproduce well. Most everything else does.
