Thank you, no modification is needed with the 17mm spacers.

I suggest you look at eBay auctions. There is a website where you could get them brand new but you’re looking at about $4k each.
Those light look nice. That would be a nice mod to add to my car.
Who is the source? If you don’t want to post it public then can you PM me?

edit: just saw your DIY and I will read that to see if you have it there.

Where did you get the headlights, front bumper, Navi, and center console?

Pm me if easier plz.

Thanks!

Also, did the headlights line up with the hood? Or did you need a 2017+ hood too...

Did you spend 8k on the headlights? Would it have been cheaper if you got a CPO 2017-2019? By the way car looks great! When you did the front end conversion to 2017-2019 did you have to get the hood and fenders?

Looking great. How hard was the RC seat swap? Do they bolt up to standard rails/mounts and wires?

Driver seat only works when vehicle is on. Driver side doesn’t work. I need to review wiring diagram to find out which wires to move. Everything fit in place. You need to relocate the seatbelts from the old seats to the panel of the vehicle. There is a designated spot for them already

I've seen the parking brake one for around $20-30, but the footrest I've seen for upwards of $100 -- know if where it's available for something more reasonable?

I don't remember exactly how much I paid for mine. I did buy it from Lexus though. Not sure where Edwin bought his. I bought my parking brake peddle off ebay.
