its a little deceiving since there were some mods (removing some plastic supports attached to the carpet and not re-attaching the underseat duct trim cover ) I had to do get this to work... actually spent days (with the LC apart in my driveway) thinking about how to position all the equipment. Also not shown is another 4 channel amp i squeezed next to the JBL factory amp...

Did you modify the stereo with the additional amp, have a build? What did you do?
Had a buddy help me put the new SPCs in and the Trail Tailor skids. Had to beat the mounts around a bit, probably should have had the skids earlier. Such is life.
Quite a bit. I cut a lot of the fender liner away from in front of the tire. Like 6 inches up probably. Also cut just about 1.5 inches from the actual corner of the bumper cover too? Kind of like a little triangle about the size of a Dorito. And obviously KDSS brackets. But I have absolutely zero rub now lock to lock. And probably 1mm clearence on the KDSS bar. I’m stoked.Looks great! What sort of cutting/trimming was necessary
I want all of this...on my LX. So slick!
I don’t have a super exciting mod to share, but we just took deliver of our new 200 on Saturday, so I spent all day Sunday prepping and ceramic coating it with cquartz UK 3.0. It’s amazing how much iron contamination came out of a brand new car.

I did the headlights and tail lights and chrome trim as well, I’ll do the wheels another weekend.
Looks great! I used the Turtle Wax hybrid ceramic wax and polish. It did a great job.
I didn’t appreciate the BP color until really looking at the paint during my detail.
Any idea if it has a clear coat or not?
I guess I never considered that it wouldn’t have clear coat, I assumed most new cars did...looking at it it’s conceivable that it has a white base coat with a pearl top coat, I am not sure how to tell. I was somewhat curious why the color costs a premium.
Typically with non-clear coat cars when detailed with an orbital polisher or any kind of mechanical polisher, there is a transfer of paint to the pad. Now it's hard to tell with the white in question (I have the same white on my 16' lc200) but when I decontaminated mine and started polishing with a micro fiber cutting pad, I got no paint transfer at all. Which leads me to believe there is a clear coat, probably a very thin one at that Toyota isn't known for great paint. I also believe Toyota's issue with single stage white paint was with the "brilliant white" I've only seen it on lower trim level Tundras and Tacoma's up to the year 2014. I've been detailing cars for a while FYI.There is nothing conclusive on the internets. What are your thoughts? I don’t have the experience to tell. Anything you shouldn’t do detail/maintenance wise if it does/doesn’t?
Toyota has had a bad reputation with their white paints in the past - seems to be a domestic production issue Only though.
