http://forums.superstreetonline.com/...to=473&cat=509

the kit REALLY changes the look of the car from the side & front views..

not a fan of the rear window "treatment"

but i like the front bumper, sides & rear bumper alot...


Damn i keep forgetting to post up my rx b4/ after pics...

I like its stainless steel muffler. But the front end looks too much like a Dodge truck

It would have looked much nicer without the rear piece...like this one below:

The paint on the kit is off and does not match original paint on the rest of the car. Poor paint job.

Yeah, I'd noticed that too, thought there was something odd, but thought the picture would improve after my first cup of coffee . . .it didn't. The OEM "Golden Pearl" is nowhere near "white" - especially when a white sample is brought near it.

I wonder why many of these kits tend to make the RX look like a bread van. There seem to be echoes of the Honda Element in there too. Maybe its the extension of the sills without lowering the vehicle that makes the body look so slab-sided. The rims are nice, but are kinda dwarfed by the kit.
