Default RX330 Purchase and new sound system

I purchased an RX330 with 72000 miles on it for $9600.00-or more like stole it. Maintenance records checked-has had timing belt, water pump, recent battery, new rear hatch motor and struts, has a near perfect body, paint and interior, regular maintenance. The steering rack is leaking which I can replace myself. So far installed a Kenwood DNX691, JL amplifiers, Hertz speakers, MTX Black Gold subwoofers, with steering wheel control adapter. Also, replaced rotors with drilled & slotted and Powerstop ceramic pads, K&N air filter, new Michelins, 20% tint on front windows, wider JJ armrests. Now I want to take the roof rack off. Is this straight forward and is there a kit available to replace the rubber runners and fill the holes?

This is my first Lexus and it will be the road trip car-wife has an Acura and I have a 75 Aston Martin that sleeps in the garage 90% of the year.

Welcome to Club Lexus 75aston. There is a kit sold for the rack removal by Sewell Lexus a vendor here on Club Lexus. I highly recommend you use it, others that didn't had problems with water entering the cabin. The search function is your friend here. There are many threads on removal of the rack. Here is a link to one on the roof rack removal procedure.

Hello! I know it's an old thread but I'd like to have some input here. You say you have Hertz speakers installed. I bought a set of HSK 163. It's a 3 way component system. Where do you think is the best place to connect the crossovers? I want o use them only for the dash speakers and the tweeters. That's because I intend to take advantage of a DSP. Thank you!
