Looks good. I might pick of a pair for my rear. I have side steps so there is no room for the front ones. It seems to blend in really well.

Hey, those look really nice. They do blend in well. Did you have to remove the wheels to install them?

If you didn't remove the wheels how did you get the mounting screws in? Did you have to drill? How much did they cost and where did you get them? Thanks.

Looks good. You could look better with matching paint on top part of splash guards like those with RX300. So top portions have same color as fender/bumper paint to give you a clear look. Just my two cents...

Yes, you have to drill. The instructions tells you what to do....you angle your drill. The kit provides a screw metal fastener. Also, you mount the screws using an allen wrench.

Got it from irotoad. $88.

Nice job, LT!

I had those on my 1RX and they were a big help. I didn't realize how much until yesterday when I had my 2RX on about 10 miles of mud - producing big rainbows of filth on the sides of the car. Fortunately the heavy rain that produced the mud washed most of it off in about 150 highway miles. When this one goes back next spring, I'm definitely putting them on my next RX!

Is there any change you can get another picture low from the rear to see how much it sticks in and how the profile looks from that rear angle? If not that is okay. The profile looks good from the side, I just wanted to see it from another angle.

Thanks everyone....yeah I think Lexus should have this as a standard equipment.!! IMO the car looks more sporty.

I'll take a shot from the rear.
