My build thread

[oakleyguy]

Can you explain the part numbers? Who sold them and is their a link as well? Thanks

Those are the individual part numbers for the four reflectors on the sides of the vehicle. Judging from the invoice slip, they likely ordered the parts at their local dealer. Otherwise Camelback Toyota Parts is usually my go-to for OEM.

Just as an update on the puddle lamps, the latest is that they will not be available until at least December of this year even though Toyota Japan's website still states that the expected timing of sale is August:

Would these be plug and play?

No idea - they don’t even seem to exist yet so I haven’t been able to get any details about them other than the supposed part number (which isn’t pulling up any additional info about them at this point).

Well there is no light in the bottom of the door on US spec so not sure how that would work for a plug and play. My Audi puddle lights are directly on the bottom of the door panel. Unless it sticks out from the side of the panel and projects down.

Illuminated door sills would have also been nice.

Spacers arrived today, 10 & 13mm. I really do not like the finish on the brake calipers, looks very poor. Going to have to rectify this soon.

Glad its not just me that thought this. Went to look around mine when it turned up at the dealership here in the UK a few days ago and was shocked at the finish on the calipers looking just like when I had a go at painting some calipers myself once (and it went pretty badly). The rear calipers seemed even worse to me too. Everything else on the car looked decent so its weird that this is such a bad finish

I had not even noticed that...Yes, my RS3 had the puddle lights OEM and illuminated door sills. Yes the car was 10k more, well 15 for me as I ordered an exclusive color but still these are not very expensive. Plus no illumination inside forces me to go aftermarket.

In the UK I think we have 'puddle lights' in the door handles.

@Trojan1992 looking forward to seeing more pics of the spacers installed! Looking good!

Well my turn signals finally arrived, dropping off to get painted next week. I did manage a couple of other mods. Hard wired my radar detector and installed some ambient lighting. When you open the door its pure white before gradually changing to any of a number of colors you can select ( in this case blue)

Also going to try out a new product my friend is getting for me, it synches to our trunk opener switch in the door and when you slide your foot under the diffuser it pops the trunk thus eliminating the need to use the key. More on this later.

I am now leading towards F1 Status BBS wheels as my set just finished for my RS3 and is being shipped from Japan. The lead time is insane but they are my favorite wheel and will build to my offset and I can eliminate the spacers. They are expensive but its only money

Nice job on the interior lights! Would you mind sharing how you hard wired your radar detector? Thanks

Can you share the link to the footwell lights? Was it plug n play or required some splicing?

Yep, I'm interested in this as well.
