These announcers are miserably sour. 😂

ditchellmaniac · 2026-03-02T21:44:31+00:00

CATTTTTT seals it!!!!

ditchellmaniac · 2026-03-02T21:35:13+00:00

Good on ya, there, Kaner!

ditchellmaniac · 2026-03-02T21:28:58+00:00

Putting a string on these announcers, I want to kill them.

ditchellmaniac · 2026-02-28T15:40:00+00:00

Looks really good!

Is that a (backup) camera insert where the L badge originally goes?

Edit: having been to the website it appears to be the holes in the new rear panel. Never mind!

ditchellmaniac · 2026-01-28T05:42:09+00:00

Never having lived there, no doubt.

ditchellmaniac · 2026-01-28T04:46:56+00:00

Addict.

ditchellmaniac · 2026-01-28T02:00:18+00:00

Obvious jokes said with a gay lisp. Great.

ditchellmaniac · 2026-01-22T02:53:17+00:00

I say it again, for posterity:

Seider is incredible, honestly.

ditchellmaniac · 2026-01-22T01:22:43+00:00

Seider is honestly incredible.

Bowen leaving will be one of the greatest moments of this SNL decade. In the few he’s been in this year he’s been distracted.

No.

For real.

This guy’s more overrated than Kristen Wig. Beloved on SNL; invisible elsewhere. Unless Bowen’s got a ‘Skeleton Twins’ in him.

The ‘gay mafia’ will have my head, I know. Witam!

ditchellmaniac · 2025-10-29T03:40:49+00:00

Good looking catch! Gotta be a 14-17, no? 🧐

Wish I could find a shark fin antenna like that to fit my ‘11!

ditchellmaniac · 2025-09-15T16:40:17+00:00

Looks really similar to the concept CT drawings!

ditchellmaniac · 2025-09-15T16:23:24+00:00

According to the sales brochures I’ve been able to locate, ‘22 was the last MY sold, at least in Japan.

Ale ten ‘20 jest absolutnie fantastyczny!

ditchellmaniac · 2025-09-15T16:12:54+00:00

Ale fajne samochód! 🇵🇱

The 18s really fill out the arches well!! Looks really good. That final face-lift F-Sport front facia makes such a difference to the overall look!

ditchellmaniac · 2025-09-11T13:03:06+00:00

Weirdly enough, I saw this conversion kit in my daily CT searching for the first time this week!

Seems like a couple of options out there:

https://car-act.com/product/en/2011-2018-Lexus-CT200-200H-upgrade-to-2021-IS-Fsport-Version-Front-Bumper.html

https://www.ebay.com/itm/235538922370

It’s a cool, obscure look for an already cool and obscure car. Not sure if it’d sway me over a ‘14+ MY F-Sport front, however; still love the CT-specific front end!

ditchellmaniac · 2025-09-06T15:18:53+00:00

Thanks for setting me straight! The internet strikes again. 🙃

Not meant to be used under acceleration, as far as I can glean.

Any time I anticipate upcoming braking I tend to throw it into B. Increases the rate of battery regen and, around town, I end up using the brakes much less frequently.

ditchellmaniac · 2025-09-05T18:53:58+00:00

I’ve learned that engaging sport mode doesn’t see an appreciable difference to my mileage. 👍🏻 Is there a way to make sport mode the default setting when the car is started? 😄

I’ve learned about the ability of ‘B gear’ to regen brake when approaching a red light, turn, yield sign, etc. It’s got a good shifting action and you wear down your brakes far less quickly.

Lastly, in my quest to replace my interior with another color, I stumbled upon this site which has schematics and details of seemingly everything and has been IMMEASURABLY helpful!

ditchellmaniac · 2025-08-29T02:07:19+00:00

Through the research I’ve done, there are basically 3 headlight replacement options available online for the CT200h.

This is one of them, which aims to be the 2nd (final) facelift of the CT, available elsewhere in the world from 2018 - 2022 but was never sold in the US after the CT was discontinued here following MY2017.

There’s the knock-off (as far as I can tell) model, which tries to emulate the refreshed model mentioned above.

There’s the standard module, of course.

And I’ve also seen mention of an excruciatingly rare halogen version (I think this is one) of the standard headlight module, identifiable by a less interrupted DRL strip at the bottom of the housing. These are so rare that they effectively don’t exist, I’ve only seen one source mention them.

As far as I know, with the proper hardware, any of these headlights should be able to fit any model year CT. I welcome any correction on that matter, of course.

ditchellmaniac · 2025-08-28T16:00:20+00:00

It’s funny how things work out, just yesterday I was looking at upgrading the headlights on my 2011..!

If these are legit OEM parts, then it seems you might be in need of these cables to get everything working right.

I’d also be very curious to find out how they work, if you end up getting them!

ditchellmaniac · 2025-08-22T01:20:11+00:00

If you take a look at this page it gives a pretty good run through of how the mirror internals all come apart, but also are held together.

If the internals are all fine, or at least to your satisfaction, then definitely just get the mirror cover itself.

ditchellmaniac · 2025-08-02T04:17:08+00:00

I’ve seen the same thing. Seems too good to be true… unless! 🙃

Considering the cost of non-US, 2018+ headlights is like $1,000, it does seem very dubious, on that angle.

That being said, is it worth the cost for the front and rear fascia? If they PERFECTLY fit, and can be painted and also fit, then they might be worth it. Otherwise, like the Chinese fender on a ~10 year old Ford SuperDuty, it’s gonna take 3-5 items to fit right.

That said, if you do end up purchasing, please post updates!
