The splash guards were one of the best parts I ordered with mine. It has saved the sides of my car from rocks on countless occasions.

Good to know! Directions seem pretty straight forward, hopefully they will install easily.

These are OEM Lexus splash guards, purchased from Amazon, fullfilled by Belle Lexus of Scottsdale, Arizona. Fitment is perfect and installation was simple.

Got this Turtle Wax Trim Restorer to try it on all the lower exterior dark charcoal/black plastic trim including the wheel arches.

It does darken and shine up the trim much like what tire dressing would do, which I like. But unlike tire dressing, this product says it will last "up to 3 months".

If it lasts more two or three washes, I'll be pleased. I'll update as warranted.

Got illuminated door sills and mud guards. I am waiting on the aluminum f-sport brake and accelerator pedals. And I plan on ordering the illuminated cup holder plates. When it gets warm I'm ordering the running boards. Then there is nothing else to do to the vehicle. Hope to install the illuminated sills and mudguards here in a week or so once I am done with my STi and it's off the lift so then I can put the NX up on there.

I'll take pictures and post here once I get more parts as they trickle in.

Yep it's my garage at home. I gotta make due with the smaller two car garages they call here in VA. Normally it's not that messy at all. I've been working on my STi for a little bit and then my truck along with house projects so it's just a PITA when things don't go as planned. Normally it looks like the below pictures but just with two cars parked in the garage. I'm moving my STi to a friends garage to store, and then my wife's NX will take it's place along with the Merc. I work on all our stuff. Taking any vehicle to a dealer/mechanic is a nightmare to me considering it always comes back with something over torqued or a broken but isn't found out until a later time when it's most inconvenient.

Yay! Finally got the F-sport pedals from Japan.

No dealer here in the states could order these for some reason. Toyota/Lexus had them on back order with no ETA. Took about two weeks to get them once order. Shipping from Japan to the USA was only two days. Then they sat in NY in customs for almost 4 days..

Should be a super easy install. Two bolts and a wireharness for the accelerator and pull old brake pad off and slip on new one.

Sucks one can't get the matching dead pedal but in Toyota/Lexus infinite wisdom they made the dead pedal part of the carpet for some reason... where most other models you can remove/add the dead pedal for replacement.
