The long one is for the spark plug.
You can find the wrenches on eBay as a kit or individually. I got a couple from eBay with the Lexus logo (vintage LOL), there are some with the Lexus word too.

Probably not, but it's a thought. I'm not sure if I'm totally wild about the black wheels anyway. It is the wife's ride, so it's up to her. I personally would have preferred chrome and/or black chrome. She was in such a rush to "make things different" that we took this route.

i decided to throw my Yakima Load Warrior on there and see how it would look. It's the extended version.

I think it looks good with the extension as it fill the roof better. Also i can fit a 10x10 canopy on top lol.

An opportunity to reach out to a 3D printer friend. I had one make some custom wheel hub caps for another vehicle when I put snow tires on. Rims were basic black steel and their work filled in the blank center hub. Just an example of possibilities . You have to remember 460 accessory market is relatively small in North America.
