I found this nice gadget which is available in Japan. Did anyone know if this is available for LHD CT's too?

I also found two different front bumpers can you choose between these two?

Standart


"Sport" as you can see the lower grill is wider and the fog light cover is different.

 

By looking at the picture of the armrest insert, it looks like it is a clip on and should work regardless of LH or RH CT. Maybe you just insert it in reverse direction for the LH Ct.

The price is quite deep for the ebay listing though as it is actually 7350yens if sold at a Lexus dealership in Japan.

It is called "Arm Pad", according to the Japanese translation.

 

Yes I also see it at Lexus.jp I only post the ebay link for easier understanding. I don't think you only can turn it around and it fit because it's shaped to fit the right side of the console.

 

I'm assuming because they list it as RHD, that it only works one way. I contacted Lexus about offering a LHD version and they say they don't have one. I really hope people complain about the lack of one so that it becomes an offering, or better yet, standard install. It's my only gripe about the car

 

Do you guys think this thing would interfere with the ability to put a Big Gulp in the cup holder?

 

The sport bumper looks interesting...need a front on view though

 

@dgstan, No it won't effect the cup holder

@CTDriver

I found in my JDM CT200h book that its an option for the Version C and the F Sport in Japan. I didn't find a 90° front view picture but I think this one will help too. The bad thing on this bumper is the Modellista front lip wont fit because of the wider air inlet and the slightly different shape. Now the question is, should I buy a sports bumper from Japan or keep the standart and add the F Sport grill and the Modellista lip. Damn life is full of choises.

AND there ist also a Sport rear bumper also an option for the Version C and F Sport in Japan.

 

the sport bumper (front) is nice but all they did was move the crease more to the edges of the car which kind of ruins the spindle shape of the grill

 

I like the darker wheels. Just wish the F-Sport Trident wheels would be available for ordering.

 

The Sport rear bumper is a huge improvement IMO.

But yes, Sewell actually has the part numbers for the Sport bumpers listed, so maybe you can actually order them?

 

The grey rims on the blue F Sport are the same as the standart 17 inch so you just need to poweder coat them or take them to a paint shop.

 

A little info on that....

I went into the Lexus dealership a few days ago and asked about the wheels. They told me that the company that was producing them went out of business, and that they were finding a new one to start production. For that reason, we are still several months out.

Go figure

 

That sucks as I put the price of the wheels (wht we were seeing) in my deal so they would be mostly, if not all, paid for.
