I removed the third row and built an enclosure for it and my recovery gear until I can afford a rear mount bumper

Hope this helps someone else...cause buying this from a private party was a very odd transaction.
1. Lexus Financial Services will NOT accept outside wires. So you either put a check in the mail (if i was the seller, i wouldn't do that. the buyer could cancel that check) or you must use the seller's lexus app and enter your personal checking account info into the seller's app. very, very awkward but i didn't have any other option because i was buying from a private party across the country. I called lexus a half dozen times to confirm this. Was also told that the account info is not visible once the payment is made (by the seller or LFS).
2. if there's a lien, you must have the seller sign an authorization for payoff. that gets faxed to the lienholder who will then forward a new title to you. LFS says it will take 7-10 biz days. I closed on 7/3. Still don't have my title (just to give you an idea)
3. Make sure the seller has removed the car from Connected Services. If the seller is difficult, you could see how this could be a PITA for a bit. In my case, I didn't really know about it at the time and assumed that it would be removed once I faxed the payoff. That was not the case. The departments don't share info. (i'm convinced the IT department in large companies have replaced the accountants as being the biggest idiots these days). But in order to remove yourself from all data collection, you must be the registered party with the Connected Services Department. Now i care! LOL.

Mine doesn't work, but it could be operator head space. I was never able to get my radio to sync either, I think the modem in it was broken.

If it has it, it'll have a yellow sticker on the underside of the hood.

for anyone looking for some cargo protection this is pretty nice (link in first post). 3 things id change:
1. optional cutouts for the cargo tie downs
2. option to order cargo floor as one piece and
3. option to just buy the vertical protection for those that prefer a plastic/rubber cargo floor liner.

for those interested in canvasback 2nd row door protection, these are pretty nice. Two things that are annoying. 1. they cover your speakers and the cover the door handle. there should be a better way to access the door handle. the latter is annoying if you out people in the back seat. not impressed. im going to trim mine so the speakers arent muffled. kind of surprised this isnt an option.
i was going to order seat covers but they were playing stupid games with their 'sale' and i got annoyed.
id really like a heavy cordura for the seat covers. many vendors are saying they dont have '23 seats laser scanned yet. youd think theyd just try the '22 covers in a '23. that's a fight for another day.
