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?

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.
