Push button start - just a novelty item, unless you can figure out how to get it to work w/o needing the key in the ignition.

Camera in rear view mirror - us lucky/unlucky guys with the tech package can do without it.

Jewel Eyes - I'm all in for it if you can figure it out. I know a few of the TL owners have done it.

Just my thoughts, but I'll still support you on your modding adventure. All are pretty comprehensive projects.

with the advanced keys system you don't need to have a key
Advanced Keys - AK-104B Smart Key with Push Start System

the backup camera i'm still trying to figure out a decent way of doing it and or cheapest method... i don't want to change out the radio for a lcd so i'm trying to add a lcd maybe in the flip out area under the climate unit

the lights i'm still reading into it. there's another tsx member currently working on it..it's costly but i'm worried about it being adjustable and functional.

Changing to better rotors/pads and/or better tires(
if you keep same size as stock) will not affect how it looks, just how it performs.
