you can use Toyota avalon centers. they are flush, dont have the lug nut grooves in them, but still have the toyota emblem in the middle.

I'm actually ok with the lug nut grooves...I confirmed they're JDM MK4 caps

They'd have the Lexus emblem in that case. These have Toyota emblems.

Bought another SC for parts. I think I need a MAF. Those things are expensive. So I bought one with a car attached to it for roughly the same price. Only thing wrong is the tranny doesn't work. But I have one of those.

Did a full detail, with clay bar, cutting agent buff, and spray wax. Then i found out Chicago is getting isolated thunderstorms for the next 3 days in a row

That's a lot of masking, taping, and waste of brown paper for window trims. I would have wrapped them with 3M control tac vinyl and been done an hour. Either way it looks good.

I used a high quality trim paint by Dupont. I took my time with the prep, I cleaned all the trim and then I went over it lightly with some fine grit sandpaper, absolutely no problems at all, the first coat was dry in about 10 minutes, then I put another coat on and 20 minutes later I washed it down and It came out perfect....
