Why? Get some clear guard, works the same but much nicer looking.

i agree with bearcat. get a clear bra and you can cover more of the car, and theres the same amount of protection

I have to disagree with the Nay sayers. A hood deflector helps keep bugs off of the windshield, the clear bra just protects the front hood paint. I too would buy a hood deflector, so be sure to post if you find one available south of the 49th parallel.

Is the canadian RX the same as the USA spec rx? I dont see why the Canadian hood deflector would not fit the USA rx too? Why not buy it and havr it delivered to the usa?

Canadian and USA cars are the same except for few missing gadgets and features in Canadian cars.

You should be able to use a Lexus Canada hood deflector.

Anyone know if they ship Canadian accessories to the US? I'm a big fan of their all-weather cargo mat/liner. It goes up the back of the second row seat!

I saw that and seriously considered it, but being leather makes it kinda strange. I also don't trust buying stuff off AliExpress.

I saw these being made in a recent trip to China - they feel more like vinyl and are pretty well constructed. I never had a problem buying from aliexpress for what its worth - they have all the same protection guarantees as amazon and ebay.

Seat Back Cargo Liner - YouTube
I have the cargo mat and it's good. It provides good coverage in the trunk, it allows the seats to slide forward and still protect the trunk and also protects back of seats if you fold them. Even if you fold each one of the 3 individually.

I have the hood deflector on my Toyota's and really like them. For the RX I opted for 3M paint protection film.

I have one on my 13 and the aerodynamics causes a noise. For anyone who has this one on their 16' , does it create any noise??? (My 04 never had a noise from its deflector)
