When the mod bug bites, it bites hard.

On the accessories sideshow it appears to show a steering wheel cover in mock wood. If so, it looks better than it sounds!

Do I have this right and where is it available from?

I think this is the article you are referring to:
https://www.clublexus.com/how-tos/sl...ng-wheel-cover

The steering wheel you are referring to in that slideshow is actually genuine leather and it comes from an Israeli company called Ali Express:

But there are plenty of stateside custom interior companies that cater to Lexus customers. Here's one that looks pretty good:

Once you updated the "Springs and Roll Center Adjusters" did you leave the sway bars and shocks stock?

Was the Borla a bolt on fit or did you need modification to fit over the convertible's rear axle?

Apparently I'm featured content!

To answer a couple of questions yes the factory shocks we're kept for now. The f sport springs are designed to be used with either the factory shocks or you can upgrade to the f sport shocks which I plan to do. I still have the factory sway bars. But again planning on upgrading those.

The muffler has not been fitted as I am planning to completely redo the whole catback system.

Most of this is going to happen after the first of the year.
