Nice work viperdoc. Looks great! I agree, it looks like the lower lip and agree with the plastidip to do your sensors. I plastidipped my emblems and chrome grill on my IS if you want to see pics, see my build thread in my sig below.

Ever since the '13 LS came out with the full spindle grill and darkened center bumper, I fell in love with the menacing look. On the RX F-Sport, the bumper is color coordinated to the body of the car which is nice, but not the exact look I wanted. So I wrapped it with vinyl carbon fiber. Of course, I couldn't stop there and did the mirrors along the curved design, and the rear "L" emblem to give it a more distinct look. Still waiting for the F-Sport emblem for the rear... will take more shots when I get it.
So far, what I've done. Thumbs

My local walmart had a can of the black plasti dip in stock. 20 minutes later the sensors were done and look great. And they still work! I only did two coats so I will see how it holds up. I didn't want to do anymore for fear that would be too thick. But on another forum I read some folks did up to four coats and the sensors were fine. Thanks again for the heads up. Awesome product.

F-sport 450h??
Hello All -
Reviving this to see if anyone knows if you can get an F-Sport RX450h? I am interested in the look, vs the standard.
Also - with the 8 speed of the true F-Sport - do many of you see better MPG on the highway when it is cruising vs the standard RX? That will be most of my time driving. I am coming back from the evil "B" car, but have to admit that they have their 3.5 liter engine and 8 speed well/finely tuned!
Thanks !

I was considering doin the very same to my 2013 RX and ES. Thanks for giving me a sneak preview. Very nicely done!
