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.

Great start.. Good parts you got on.. Let us know if you need anything!

-Josh

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.

Thanks Josh.

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.

I gotta see that in person...looks badass!

Thanks man...i too hope to meet some of you in CL.

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?

I found a deal on a cheap Video in Motion By Pass for 100 dollar so i just bought that and installled it myself and used the AUX input for the chromecast. My android phone is s7 edge the hong kong version.https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...9213e43fff.jpg

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.
