We just purchase 08 RX 350 black on black. I will planning on changing out all the interior lights with LED and I guess my first mod will be changing out my Grille.

Hello Everyone !!

Warm welcome - you'll find an interesting mix here, lots of knowledge, and help available.

We 'changed out' our grill early on - we did it the easy way - bought our own somewhat rare Thundercloud Edition - came complete with the grill, carpets, black maple, Thundercloud Metallic paint, and the cute little emblems!

Inspire....You are correct. We should post the picture of yours and mine next to each other.

Here is mine. Yours will be looking awesome once you put the other body kit on her.

Nice body kit! How much for the whole set up? Can you install yourself?

Mandyfig, I am putting this on by myself with little help by Inspire. It took about total of 3 hours to put it on. The only hard part was to get the paint matching because whatever the paint I have on, As per Auto Body shop, it is a three stages process and hard to match.

I am in the process of getting one for Inspire too, but his will be a different style because we are so close and he does not want his to be the same as mine. I do not know how much yet since it comes from oversea. So, if you are interested, we can discuss more and I can get you one as well.

Keep us aprised of Inspire's progress and let us know the tally on the $$. Worth considering. The color match is the key thing! Thanks.

Inspired. If you want to add attachment to your post, then you need to click on the "go advance" and add the file. Quick Reply does not have that function.
