Yep, they are SUPER easy to read.
But too bad they aren't touch screen, it'll drive you nuts when typing in a long street name

Thanks, your IS looks great, too!!

Hard to find body mods for a SportX.
99% of all front lips and other add ons are for the sedan only.

Maybe I'll retrofit a touch screen it into the sportcross
A 3rd gen 7" screen from a GS or LS should work...........hmm.....

hahah, the reason why the IS300 doesn't have touch screen is that it's too far out and people can't press on it easy, so not sure if it's a good idea

i doubt it since not too many people even know the existence of this model. most people think it is discontinued since 2003 including Lexus sales reps.

so starting with a small handful of sportcross owners minus those who don't care to add kits or mods = not enough people for "someone" to make money.

well, at least it looks they will continue to make the sportcross for at least one more year.

Mine is a '04.
Other than a fully loaded black/black on the dealer lot, I haven't seen another one on the road yet.


Maybe I'll switch the front bumper for a Carson/Sportline, side skirt should fit as well, since they are identical to the sedan. The rear bumper might be a challenge.

i have been driving mine for almost a year now and i have YET to see another one on the road which is pretty crazy considering the fact that i have travelled quite a lot up and down the east coast in the past year.

yeah, i really would love to do a little modding on mine here and there but money is tight.

eventually, i would like to upgrade mine into a super turbo wagon with the necessary performance upgrades of course. shoot, i am just dreaming... that's going to be a long while. maybe i should start buying some lottery tickets.
