RoadTop box was booting up and connecting to my phone quicker and control knob was working. 10.25” screen one - to navigate in Android/AA/Carplay have to use touch screen (steering wheel audio control and radio panel work fine with all media players available for AA and CarPlay), however factory control knob and factory infotainment is still accessible and works fine (I believe there are more expensive versions with knob control/trackpad/touchpad support - I paid £320 including tax and shipping, RoadTop box was £250 that time). Conclusion: with factory bigger screen I would go for RoadTop box, however need of research if they updated anything to make it working for years, not just under warranty.

I’ve got TopRoad box about 5 years ago and it lasted 2 years until failed (blank screen). Unfortunately, was already out of warranty. Then I went for the cheapest 10.25” screen with CarPlay built in from Ali, no issues for now (1.5 years).

The easiest way is to use factory fitted camera wires but with 6 to 12V DC converter connected on power line (for Chinese generic cameras).

The camera must be powered up when ignition on, otherwise it won’t be recognised by car infotainment system - this may be a root cause of the issue.

IS200t: during the winter slightly better MPG (18” wheels): 20.2. Summer MPG is about 19.5 (19” wider alloys)

It was P&P in mine too (2016 Sport - non-premium audio).

I have fitted similar p&p kit from well known online portal (folding mirrors on 2nd click) and no issues since installed in 2019

My IS200t stock brakes are 4 pot Advics + drilled/slotted 334mm discs + EBC YellowStuff pads and this kit is more than enough even with performance RaceChip on 🙂 IS300h is a bit heavier but still no point in overpaying for Brembos

IMO NIA style looks much better than Maxton 🙂

I run 19” 8.5” ET34 front and 9.5” ET35 rear and it’s okay but I have coilovers set about -65mm so got negative cambers on both axles. My front wheels are a bit hidden in arch, rear ones have not much space like 4mm to rear bumper top mount. Idk 🤷‍♂️ if this spec will fit if you are not going to lower your suspension Best option you can find someone with similar offsets and try to fit wheels yourself. What tires are you going for? For 9.5J I would go 255 which is a bit stretched, same as 225 on 8.5J

IMHO black car looks great with silver/chrome wheels 🙂

Just screws into the bumper. In the future I will fix all holes (there are like 8-10 holes under the plate) and use magnets to hold the plate

Red Type-r logo = extra hp 😅

My first mod on the first day of owning Lexus was full LED interior, mirrors lights and Lexus logo door projectors 😂 Here is front bumper with no plate bracket

Today I tried to open headlights but unfortunately they are permanently sealed with high temperature resistant glue (not a butyl one) so ordered proper tools for removing cold glue. Also removed front plate bracket - under plate there are 2 screws holding the bracket 🙂
