I'm surprised to hear it is colored plastic. According the the description on the UK Lexus site it is supposed to be brushed aluminum. Anyone can confirm this info?

+1 if there are any vendors on this board.

I did leave some inquires with 2 dealerships in the UK and am waiting to hear back. However I'm thinking with shipping, customs, and the exchange rate that it may be cost prohibitive if I did this alone.

here are some more photos I have found. In the close up it does indeed look like plastic and not aluminum. Note the LED headlights in the second picture! Why don't we get that option?!?!?

It's hard to really tell the color. Almost looks whitish. If it was as well made as the 'chrome' grille, fine. But I'll pass.

utmiken, a few of us here with the 450h have the LED headlights.

To reproduce that in sheet metal, my guess would be to drop hammer it due to the contours and combination of the lip on the edge. Anyone brave enough to try??? You would just have to get a hold of a piece and reverse engineer it, maybe laser scan it into a 3D model. After that it would be easy :P

Look at the second pic of RX in black from Japan meet on previous post https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...pan-rx350.html


Looks much better than Euro version. A skid plate in attached to under body to protect exhaust and brake lines. What you see in front is plastic front bumper cover not a skid plate. See example of aftermarket I found via Google. Not cosmetic, but protective. http://www.alibaba.com/product-tp/11...XUS_RX350.html

Anyone have a part # for the european skid plate?

It looks like Audriuss has already done it and posted excellent pictures.

And Lexus calls it a front underrun, at least for the 2008 model:

Does not looks like an easy install for the 2008.

Looks like it's called a Front Skirt with Underrun:

They also have a Rear Underrun too.

Yes they are the front and rear under runs available in the UK and Europe. They cost about £400 for the front and £250 for the rear. So in dollars thats about $600 for the front and $380 for the rear.

HOWEVER, the 2013 facelift models have a different front under run. The rear one is the same for all model years.

Below is the new under run for 13 MY:



Its very tough plastic, no chance of breaking and its really just there for aesthetics. It just makes it look much better IMO. The new front under run has a wider section of silver plastic to match with the wide spindle grill.

Is a total replacement of the Front Lower Part <br/>And Don't fit my 2014 RX450h F Sport ..

I didn't buy, so don't know the quality.
Anyway, those are made of ABS plastic and just for the look.

titomang

Is that the underrun for the 2010-2012 RX or is it for the 2013 facelift model? If it's for the 2010-2012 MY, how much did you get it for and where?

Thanks,

Bruce
