Let me know if these are the ones you were talking about.

Thanks.
Yes you ordered the right one. But if you used this link you could have got it from Amazon with free shipping instead of an Amazon merchant. I don't know why they don't merge the listings.

Looks great! Very clean. What percent of tint is that? 35%?

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate the compliments.

Yes, the tint is 35%. It is something called Nano tint, which keeps out so much more heat than regular ceramic tint, and 35% was all that was available.

And just FYI everyone - the 8000K is NOT blue like it appears in the pics. I don't know why or how it appears that way, but trust me, the lights are not blue at all. They are like an ice/diamond white. They light up the road in pure white. The blue appearance is very misleading.

Default amazing

Maybe i'm older than most of the members...but those wheels are perfect the way they are. I'm just not partial to slamming or black wheels (which gives it an offroad look)...no spider web looking spoke wheels...your wheels are perhaps the best looking factory Lexus makes.

You did an amazing job. Take it from me. I am a detail freak. I am impressed that you clay barred the entire car. You definitely spent some time when you add in the 2 coats of synthetic wax

Thanks. I'm also **** about the appearance of my vehicles. I spent about 4 hours Sunday morning washing, claying and waxing. Now, that being said, once you get up close you can see some love bug damage on the hood and on the front area by the sunroof. There are also some little rock chips on the front of the hood and some minor scratches here and there, but I did my best to minimize all that.

Nice.
I'd only change the wheels... These are stock rims for the 300s. I'd get a few of the stock 450h rims....

Thanks to Batman for the Putco 360 LED suggestion. Installed.

That's the last "mod" for awhile. The rest are gonna have to wait a bit.

It wasn't a website I ordered from, I got the stuff from Auto Zone. That's all. They had a choice of like 3 clay bar kits (Mother's, Meguiar's and some other one) and I chose Meguiar's. I had used the Mother's clay kit a few years back, it was fine, this time I went with Meguiar's.

Choosing the wax was no more than just looking and reading. I've used Consumer Reports in the past when making a choice like this, but this time I just read up on the waxes and chose after reading here http://www.meguiars.com/estore/produ...ectionID=11501. Still, I must have looked like an idiot standing there for 20 minutes trying to decide what to get. I have used a bunch of different waxes/polishes in the past and wanted to try something new, and the NXT Tech Wax seems to work fine.
