WOW(!), but if one lock per wheel isn't enough, not sure how five will do any better...?

So you have five locks on each of your wheels; an additional $400 total, $100 per wheel?

Not really, I picked them up on ebay for about $30 for each set times four about $120. If they really want my rims, they will have to earn it!

Pretty much any liquid you would spill in a car wipes right off these seats. Why would you want to turn leather (nuluxe) seats into cloth seats?

It's going to suck when you have a flat in the rain and trying to figure out which of the five keys go to which lug!

if he/she was smart enough, they should have just run the same 4 lock nut and key on a single rim and with 1 regular nut. then they know that key belongs to that side/rim, and then do that with the other 3 wheels..and they could have saved money on one set.

yeah i agree.. you'd be basically shooting in the dark every time wondering which key belongs to which lock nut.. i can see them now, crouch over, looking at five keys.. picks up one to try.. doh!!, then another, doh!!, another key, doh!!, geez, what was i thinking.., doh!!, then bam, woo-hoo!!!!

One of the main reasons why I got these was because of the lack of cooling in the seats of the F-Sport models.

I had to change one tire already and it wasn't so bad! This gives me peace of mind and is worth the trouble in my view.

I have never had a security system, but I am interested. Does the Viper system you have replace the Lexus keyless entry and ignition system? Of do you carry 2 fobs with you...one to disarm the alarm (and receive notifications) and your lexus key for entry and starting?

Thanks.

The alarm is addition to the factory alarm. You will need to keep both with you to disarm the car and start. It's a pain, but for me it's worth the trouble. I work in a crappy area

Front parking sensors? Do you have a DIY and what you used? Thanks.

No DIY. Had them installed at the dealer. My OCD stops me from doing anything DIY.
