What did you do to your THIRD Generation RX today?

Pole Position
I just gave ours a thorough detailing today to celebrate its three years with us. Let's not start a mileage comparison though. LOL. We are at 5154 miles. We carpool in our more fuel efficient car and typically only drive this on weekends or road trips. Only wait, there haven't been any road trips! Should last us many good years. My wife jokes that this is my doctor's appointment car because that is about the only time it leaves the garage on a weekday. Maybe by the time we are ready to move on Lexus will have moderated the look of the RX so we don't have to look elsewhere... or perhaps we will come to like the new look after more of them are on the road. I doubt it is in the cards though, ours is borderline too large for the two of us, I can't see us in an even larger RX.

Trying to get more involved in this forum! We bought our 2010 RX350 about a year ago and absolutely love it. I immediately did the LED flood light swap which was a huge improvement approaching the car at night - especially when we're up skiing and there's plenty of ice around. For this winter I got a great deal on some Bridgestone Blizzaks on clearance at tire rack and basically turned the RX into a snow tank I'll be looking to get either a set of summer tires to swap on at the end of the ski season or (hopefully) a good deal on a second set of rims to mount some tires on so I can do the swap myself in the future.
This weekend I actually did make a change an put in a set of Sylvania Silverstar Ultra headlamps and was very impressed with the difference. I know Sylvania got in some hot water for some over the top performance claims on these (I got a small check from the settlement a few years back) but I always liked them in my old WRXs and was very happy with the increased brightness after putting these in the RX. FYI I got them for ~$31 shipped (new) off ebay so don't spend the $50+ at the B&M stores!

MarinRX - When shopping for a second set of wheels eBay or craigslist are a good sources for used ones. Also Toyota Highlander or Venza wheels are an exact fit. You did not say if you had 18 or 19 inch wheels.

Ah - I have 18" rims on it now but my understanding was either 18" or 19" were OK on the 2010. I know the speedometer would be off a little but definitely would look nicer And thanks for the CL and ebay suggestion - I did see a nice set on CL the other day but waiting til it's closer to summer time to pull the trigger.

Painted calipers and painted wheels
I have 33k on my 2010 F Sport.
I Decided to add blue G2 to the calibers and apply graphite duplicolor paint on the wheels to match my conversion effort of making a F sport.
Done for the day!
