Default Are there any original options available for installation by dealer?

Just checking... I know that usually it's not possible, but I'm starting to believe that modern cars should be able to allow installation of some options left out at the moment of purchase. So, is there any option or accessories that could be installed (by lexus) after the car has been build and shipped and driven?

Thanks.

That would depend on the option/accessory (and probably the willingness of the dealership).

Swapping out the 17" wheels for 18" wheels? Sure
Adding 18 way power seats/HUD/DRS? In theory, should be possible - but even if dealership is willing to do that, it may be pretty expensive (compared to adding the package when car is purchased).

Run it by the dealership to see what they can do.

Well, how about HUD and radar cruise control with pre-collision system?
And. remote start is one option I'd like to add, I'm glad it's possible.

Thanks

^ what Joe said... the HUD will also require a special windshield. PCS & DRCC, i would say no to all except RS and optional wheels. that's factory work, not dealership work. the techies are not even trained to do that type of work.

Alright. At least I'm in peace now that I know.

I love the car regardless....!

How about to tint the glass, should that be done at Lexus for better result or it doesn't matter? I often leave my black dog in the car (windows slightly open thou), and with the black interior I'm afraid it will get too hot in the summer.

I'd go to a tint shop (and did) rather than the dealer.The dealer will have a tint shop guy do it and charge much more.
Also with tint and a dog's paws on the glass won't work well.
