I would get some vinyl or tint to cover them up and remove them for inspection.
You can make a template very easily using some painter's tape.
That said, my Supra is black and never really bothered me..
5mph is when my car downshifts on its own to 1st gear, so that is the speed I am watching whether I want to let the car do it on its own, or whether I need to be in 1st (to possibly light-punch out of traffic, etc) and manually downshift.
I disconnected the battery when I did the 3D Design paddles (removed the airbag). No issue.
I've been using a Battery Tender Jr on all my cars for decades. No fuss, no issue.. and compatible with AGM and lead including deep cycle.
I too just run a $25 Battery Tender Jr which automatically sets itself to AGM or lead or whatever the battery type that I am charging. I like to leave simple things to just plain simple. I'm too old to be reading tiny instructions manuals for this.
If you're prepping the car for a sharp turn after a long straight, I can see someone using the feature while braking hard, as it's really no different than downshifting in sequence while braking hard to prepare for the turn unless you're trying to maximize engine braking while approaching the turn.
Learned something new reading this thread.. since I only drive in manual mode 100% of the time (I'm an avid manual driver), I'm always driving 2-3 sec ahead of where I am and downshift earlier to prepare the car for the punch or turn if needed. I also drive the car around the RPM I drive my MT...
My car came with a factory (?) cargo organizer so bought some L shaped cargo organizer corners (click for link) with vecro's that bite into the trunk carpet to keep the organizer in place. I removed the "Supra" logo'ed cargo liner as vecro does not stick well to it. I take some fast corners...
Glad to see you got your car back mangcool. Hope you get that replacement headlight soon. As others mentioned, it looks good even though it might have a break somewhere (I can't tell from the picture)

Agreed. The 3 reds are consistent in color and matte-ness so that is nice (vs mixing brands), but the level of detail you mentioned is where I'm at as well. Hope they do a revision.
But it looks great the way it is in totality.
