Bad...Your list of PPs will melt away as you grow to bond with your LC. You begin to rationalize how unimportant these tidbits are; realize that nothing's perfect and fall hopelessly in love with your new car.

Is there a front camera that can be installed on the LC? I have is on RX, and it has become almost as useful as the back camera.

Yes, after market. Worth every pennies. It useless because of the angle. Installed the after market and adjust the angle down a little bit.

Which camera did your installer us Dknyov? how does it activate?
I was sort of hoping eventually GROM or one of those other "plug and play" guys would make a kit to retrofit the LC with a front camera without any cutting or splicing.

thank you Kira! and im really not sure why they would limit USA options as who else in the world would buy an LC!? Toyota's crazy sometimes. Besides JDM only special editions, eveything else should be US centric due to just the economics of the whole thing. I mean how many LC's did they sell in latin america? in europe? in canada ? a literal fraction of the US consumption im sure.

As for aftermarket exhausts, i looked into the artisian spirits full titanium but im not 100% sold on the noise. They LOOK fantastic though. especially with the rear diffuser they also sell

I have the BeatSonic unit:

https://www.beatsonicusa.com/cs5ep.html

It can be installed to activate two ways, either by pushing a dash mounted button or to automatically activate at slow speed and also with the push of a button. I have the automatic set up. It works just like a factory installed unit. Why Lexus didn't install this at the factory is a mystery to me Works GREAT

Thanks pup! thats exactly what im looking for. I used beatsonic products on my SC430 so im glad they make something for the LC as well.

Looks super scary DIY, but i guess a good shop can do it relatively easily.

Mine is beat-sonic, too. If you just do the front camera, then no need to disassembly everything like the video.

That teardown is necessary for the DVD Bypass. For camera installation only, much less disassembly is required.

Any issues with rattling or squeaking after reassembly? That's the only hesitation I'd have.

Seems like over the years any aftermarket items like this always have some type of repercussions. I would be curious if it could also be an issue with factory warranty if something electrical goes awry. I will stick to backing into parking places and my garage.

No rattling or squeaking at all.
