heheh maybe you can go the cheap way since its hard to find a 01 chrom head lamp just use foil 
but sweet thanks for pic... i liked that atenna... looks really cool, just a small rubbery stub sticking out
couple months ago, i was jocking the Harrier, how it had that small atenna and the front blind side rear view mirror. I was about to have a shop mod those onto my rx.. but i said forget it cuz i didn't want holes drilled into my car
but i'll think about it now ehhe

Shonuff,
The RX looks great. I have ordered my tail lights last week. Can't wait to convert them. I too have a rear mini antenna, about the same size as yours. However, mine is self-stick one for about $4.99; I'm a little nervous about cutting holes in the RX. I've placed mine in the rear center, instead of rear passenger like you. I see you were able to light up the rear bumper lenses. That's a great idea. How did you go about doing that. Looks great.

Shonuff,
I notice those wheels, are they the Katana Ducati?
can you tell what are the tire size that you have, I was looking at those and cant decide what tires to install it with the 18x7.5 wheels

they are edge logic wheels 18x7.5. i have pirrelli scorpion zero tires 255/55/18. i had to run spacers on the back wheels.....probably should put some on the front cause the tires rub at full turn. this setup keeps your speedometer accurate as it is just about the same overall diameter as the stock rims and tires.

wouldn't be practical to take all four doors off hehehe. but no they taped off the rest of the car and painted the grey parts. there is a couple of places with light overspray.......but that was to be expected......that's why they included in the price buffing the whole car out. will go back in two weeks after the vehichle has had enough time to cure. then the whole thing will be super shiny black lol
I thought maybe they took off the molding and bumpers to paint them. Just curious.

camsrx3: thanks, all i did was buy some paint stripper from home depot. i'll have to check what kind...it's lika a gel. put it on the grill and let it sit for about 15 minutes.......then hit it with a brush to get most of the paint off. had to repeat that a couple of times. then hit it with steel wool. took a loooooooooong time. not all the way done yet. still have some paint to remove.
