Looks good. I'm definately thinking about picking up the front lip. I already have color matched running boards so I'm not going with any side skirts. Do you have a picture of the rear skirt installed? From previous pictures I wasn't sure if it was too square for my taste, but over all it is not bad. I might still pick up the rear skirt as well, but I'm not sure yet.

Now that kit looks sweet, not too much, if you know what I mean. Love the graphites!

i like the kit, looks good.. Although, making Toyota out of Lexus (harrier badge) makes no sense to me :-).

Front and side looks great , not sure why cut an exhaust hole on the rear, it does not have that symmetric and stylish look from behind.

Default Exhaust Cut out

Actually I am hoping to relocate the exhaust tip so it is flush with the body kit. I haven't tried yet, and that is my next project, trying to see if the tip is easily removed or not and if it isn't easily removed, making it work if I remove it and relocate the tip myself.

I would go with a new exhaust but seeing that it has around 15,000 miles on the vehicle I will wait to replace it if I keep the vehicle that long.

Default Speaking of Putting Harrier Badge

I thought about that, too. But it isn't much different that putting a Skyline Emblem on a G35 or the Altezza emblem on the IS 300 granted when you say Altezza or Skyline you almost have to bow down in honor of two great cars from their homeland. And to me the last great Skyline was the R34, not this imitation version G35. (sorry just me venting)
But anyway, I figured since I was going for making my RX look different than all the others I see on the road, roughly 90% of all the drivers of the RX I have seen here aren't going to know what the Harrier is and just think it is another special edition, and for those who do know....shhhhhhhh....

Talking Awesome

I love that "factory' kit look. I was looking for this kit actually. Where did you order it? How much? Did it come pre-painted?
