So big thanks to Lexus of Winter Park. it seems I'm still eligible for the dash, door, console replacement. I went in this morning for pics to be taken an submitted.. I'll hear back in a few days. My service advisor says he hasn't any issues doing replacements yet... that's awesome considering it's a 12 yr old car with 133k miles....

 

the only problem I forsee is now I've no excuse to not upgrade my leather.......

 

Just went thru ur build thread excellent work! Nicest 4ls I've ever seen imo. I'm in market for one coming from a Is350 with horrible horrible dash and panels how bad is the Ls affected and are they still honoring replacements?
Also with all the lighting mods why didn't you do any headlight mods do these not open easily?

 

the leather is in decent shape.. I take good care of it. but its 12yrs old.... the creases aren't cracked at all.. just more noticeable over time. so new leather will bring it back to show quality..

headlight mods.. if done a lot.. those are base model headlight housings (no headlight washers so I can have the continuous Nike light).. my nike light mod has h11 leds as my drls then sequential blinkers with switchback at night... (with rgb) also have a dual rgb demon eye set up as well... with blacked out inner housings.. I'm sure it's back in my build thread somewhere..

lastly yes they're still honoring replacements.. I'd call the dealer with the vin of the LS you're looking at to verify its eligibility...

 

sorry..low beam headlight projector mods would be a downgrade since the stock projector moves up/dn & left/rt as the vehicle inclines or declines. or if the steering wheel turns...plus I did halos in my last lex.. they're too unreliable for my tastes... so accent rgb (for shows only serves as examples of what can be done for others)

thanks for nice comments it's much appreciated!!!!

I've been focusing heavily on my FJ lately (check my ig @pro_security1) .. but I plan on a few maintenance mods.. control arms, bushings, bbk, new tires , touch up paint work (1/3 of the car) Relentless Pursuit of Perfection... an all..

 

So Shi's back at the bodyshop getting some minor touch ups.. so while the fenders are off... I'll finish my headlight demon eye mods... (pics as soon as I have them out)

 

This just in Mark Levinston has FINALLY met its match!!! Meet the New Alpine PXE-X09!!! 16 (low or high level) input channels & 16 output channels!! More than enough to handle the ML audio processing w/o losing the Dolby Dts 7.3 built into the car.. (back story.. i currently have 3 Eqs, (2) 12 channel crossovers going to 2 Mmats Pro Audio Hifi 6150 6 channel amps & 1 Mmats Pro Audio 2000.5 )

Now I still need the amps.. but 5 components replaced by 1!!! PRICELESS!!!!
10 band Parametric or Graphic input Eq (per channel)
31 band Parametric or Graphic output Eq (per channel)
built in xover with time alignment
That can be tuned from a laptop or your smartphone!!!

 

Nice find, glad to see you're still around. If you ever make it to the Dade, Broward, Palm Beach area, let me know. Would be great to see your car in person!

 

Amazing build!! How hard was it to remove front grill "L Logo"? I thought there were sensors inside it?
