Nice pics man! I was going to ask you...does that Windscreen make a huge difference? I heard it was kind of "cheap" and didn't do much, but that's what the dealership told me. I don't really use the backseat so it wouldn't be in the way...I just don't know if its worth the $500+ price tag.

Does your car have the black material 'bubbling' on the inside of the headlamp housing, right under the projector beam headlight? (You need to look close and in an area without sunlight.) Every 2011 I've seen has this issue... the older the car, the more bubbling there is. I contacted Lexus about this, saying I believe it is a manufacturing defect.
There is a whole thread on this very serious problem affecting the 2011 models, with many owners reporting they have the defect.

front dome doesnt have any screws holding it in.. so just grab from the back towards the windshield and pull down.
doors.. same 2 screws.. behind door handle and 1 under window control switches.. then grab bottom corner and pop it off..

Does anyone have experience replacing the door lock ***** with the illuminated LS lock *****? I would love to add this to the ISC but I think I have to wire them to the footwell LEDs for the OEM effect.

Nice looking C. I like the white with black interior.
And yes, for some reason lexus decided to do a TAN trunk for everyone, regardless of interior color......which is stupid cause Lexus doesn't even make a tan interior C
Anyway, I think Jonny already answered some of these questions, but the clear lenses and lower LED's in the doors are interchangeable with the sedan, as are the dome lights (unless they changed them with the new SOS system).
Also, here's a link for more people with ISC's, and some modification info as well: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...0c-thread.html

Def need to get F-sport springs/shocks. Car should've come from the factory with it. Will make a great visual difference, and handling is better too.
Of course, I love the exhaust as well, so that's a hard choice between the two.
And, unfortunately, F-sport is the only (correct) choice for each, since aftermarket sedan exhaust doesn't fit vert, and the aftermarket coilovers aren't set up for the vert, even though they do bolt up......custom rates can be done but make sure you talk with a company that understands the actual weight differences/bias differences.
