The interface for the nav screen comes from Saiaco ltd, a company from Taiwan.

They work very well: good products and above all they gave me assistance by e-mail for the installation, that I made by myself.

This is the link:

Thanks. Looks clean and straightforward. I am looking to see whether I can get better nav on the factory unit rather than paying more for the map upgrade cd.

Excuse me, but what means are sick? In the use of the car those pedals are better than the original ones, because they have a better shape and materials, useful not to slip...

I have bought the mirror covers in Taiwan, by this firm:

http://www.thespeedline.com/04-lexus...-mirror-cover/

The quality is good and they have the prepainted version too; but I had some problems with the right mirror cover. It had a different shape and I had to adjust it by myself because the firm not give me assistance..

The assembling was very complicated: it was necessary a very long time and it is better to do it by a professional shop.

At the end it is very beautiful: it has the service light to illuminate below the car, the day lights and the arrows lights.

Ok. Thanks.
I have not a perfect knowledge of English language and I have always read the word sick only in a negative sense...
Only now I have read that the word sick is also used like a slang for amazing and cool.

Very nice. Beautifully done. Unique touches to your RX.

What LED lights are those in the lower grill?

They are 17cm COB led for daytime running light in aluminium alloy

Voltage: DC 12v

Color Temperature 6000 K

Lumen: 2400

Size:17.4cm x1.7cm x 0.5m (L x W x H)

They are waterproof, anti-dust, anti-collision, safe and durable.

In the night their light is almost excessive...

I have chosen them especially for the size, as in the car the space was not a lot.

In 3 years of use no problem.

It is possible to find them for few dollars a couple.

That's some really nice upgrades.

Where did you get those handles? Those are extra-nice. Are they lighted on both sides?

Default Door handles for Rx400h

I bought the four led handles (one for every door of the car) in this shop:

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/806...311.0.0.UbwRQr

and now it is available in this link:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Door...ceBeautifyAB=0

They costs about 110 $, but the problem is to mount them. I made the work by myself and It was necessary a very long and complex work, because it is necessary to disassemble the four door's panel, to use relays and to find the right cables for arrows, location, and courtesy lights.

At the beginning I asked for a quote from a technician but the cost was very high, about 800 euros, because of the high numbers of man-hours.

By the way, the result is very beautiful and I think the led handles give to the car more safety, especially in car turns.
