Any details on the standalone F badge? It's something I've wanted to do since the LFA release.. For the Fenders.

Did you order up the 10th Anniversary "F" Courtesy Door Lamps yet??
If no, they are a must!!!

Also, did you know the original TMPS nut & air cap can be anodized as well.?

I had all mine redone in Gunmetal

Lexus finally fixed their 2008 mistake with the M Mode on the gate shifter..

But I understand why you needed to rewire it.. What are the plans for the + & - ?

I'm certain you can edit the underside.

Yeah, I grabbed a pair of those courtesy lights already
The F badge is a modified one off of the engine cover.
Who did the anodizing on your TPMS nuts and caps? I’d like them in black!
The gear indicator panel is hard to do, I was hoping the plastic piece was clear and then the film will have all the fonts and colors. Nope, the plastic piece has the fonts painted on the back and the film is just the colors. But, I still have one being looked at by my friend that does custom gauge faces and what not. We’ll see!!

Removed the blue pinstripes and replaced with red to match the wheels.

Good stuff..!!

I had the oem tpms nut & cap (remove o-ring) anodized by a local company who used to do my intakes.. I went with gunmetal. Black is easy, maybe you can find a local anodizer will to do a "black sample" for you.. Some shops don't like doing small one off stuff. But Im sure it can be done.

I picked up a new Blitz Japan drop in filter last week and Greddy drain plug from the crew over @ModInJapan

Updated my FIGS no.2 bushings with the new anodized brackets and wrapped the engine mounts with some Thermo Tec heat shield.

Received and installed the FIGS/RB front CCM rotors!
~10lb savings each compared to the 22.5lb FIGS/RB 2-piece rotors.
I still need to do a proper bedding in of the new ST600 pads. Also, replaced the front subframe brace nuts and bolts with titanium for a little bit more weight reduction
