That's right! That side step is chrome and it has the steps on the bar as well... I'll find it out.... thanks!

Nope, I just sent the payment to the seller, hopefully I'll see it within 2 weeks... since from NY to Seattle....

Silversport, eh? Nice! If I were you, I'll go for chrome....I think it'll match nicer with chrome... unless you don't like chrome...

Mike,

Great news! I just called Manik directly and verified that for Lexus RX300, NO drilling necessary at all.

Now, I'll check around for prices...

Thanks,
Hendry

SERIOUS???
i thought it needed drilling!!!

damn... sweet, imma go for the manik side tubes then... then i'm going to get the RMM grill guards... hehe

Ya i wanted chrome all along

I think at one of my local shops, they have the manik side tubes going for about 300, and 350 installed or something like that.. but since its no drilling, then imma get it for 300 and do it myself.. hopefully i dont break anything haha

Now, i need something in the rear... Only cool rear guard is the JAOS, but it cost 600...

Look in archives. Couple of months back I posted couple of pics with the Jaos center bar, lights and skid plate. It has been two + years and no rattles/rust.

Salim,
Thanks! I'll certainly try to look for your RX with the Jaos stuffs in it... Did you have a hard time with the instal?

By the way, I just found out the JAOS retail selling price in US is 2X (Double) the selling retail price in Japan... So whatever the retail orice here is double the retail price in Japan... How I wish I have friends there to order for me and have them shipped here...

Hendry, I think "Johnsrx" (nick) lives out that way.... You should try to get a hold of him maybe you guys could work something out.
