Default Michael's USB Build thread

Okay so I finally decided to make a build thread since i am sick and just chilling at home haha. I got the car on New Year's eve 2016 and it's a 16 IS300 F sport package. The theme i am going for is a smooth clean OEM rather than an aggressive build. I am not into engine, suspension and rims mods so you don't see any or much of those in my mod list for now or in the future. I would say most of my mods are cosmetics.

Interior Mods

- Saga Carbon - aluminum radio and mode *****
- Saga Carbon -Carbon FIber steering wheel logo panel
- FTP MotorSport - customized blue F sport engine start button
- Carbon Fiber start button ring

- iJDMToys - 140-SMD direct fit LED reading and door panel
- iJDMToys LED interior lights
- iJDMToys - rear bumper reflector lights
- Ebay Carbon Fiber Gear Shift **** Trim
- Ebay Carbon Fiber Interior Gear Shift Box Panel Cover
- Ebay Wheel Shift Paddle Blade Shifter Extension - Have two pairs with different styles and keep the grey one.
- Tuff Protect Clear Screen Protectors for Nav
- Ebay Armrest storage bin box center console tray
- Ebay Aluminum Tire Wheel Rims Stem Air Valve Caps
- Viofo A119S dash cam
- Video in Motion with chromecast install

Update

Added aluminum footrest

Exterior Mods

- Diamond ceramic coat
- Clear Bra - half hood and fender
- Yellow RDL overlay
- Seibon RF - Style carbon fiber rear diffuser
- OEM rear spoiler
- IDJMToys white fog lights
- Taiwanese D-Type Rear Roof Lip Spoiler Wing
- Weather Tech Visors
- Motorsports TR-D Style Front Bumper Lip Splitters
- RR Racing blue F sport grill emblem
- MV Tuning eyelids cilia front headlights
- AeroFlowDynamics 3IS Front/Side Splitters - removed, it was too aggressive for me.

Update
- Added Invidia midpipe
- Tinted - 35% front and 20% rear.


Performance Related Mods

- RR Racing tune
- RR Racing carbon fiber intake
- F Sport intake - removed
- Invidia Q300 axle back
- Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ next month

update
- Added Megan Racing front strut tower.

I got them from Ebay...they have a light and motion sensor and only come on at night and when the car moves. They are power by solar power. I think i got two for like 20 bucks. Let me know if you have issue finding them on Ebay, i will search my order history for you.

My bad...i just checked and i actually got them from Amazon and not Ebay. I see a lot of them on Ebay for around 10 dollar. If you are going to get them get the one from Ebay with the Lexus logo. It's better than what i got.

That looks awesome. Are you using Beat Sonic to mirror everything from your phone? Which Android phone are you using too, if you don't mind my asking?

Where did you get the CF ring for the button assembly?
Did you break any of the little tabs?

I got the CF ring on aliexpress. I didn't even know they existed so got lucky. It really was very hard to install. I found the first three tabs and broke like 2 of them haha. I didn't find the second 3 tabs to pop the oem button off so i just use my screw to clip it off. Really not easy at all lol.
