are those add on exhaust tips or custom welded ones. thanks.

acitydwelr

it looks a lot like a mazda cx-9

It was custom welded. It took me a while to choose a sporty but yet classy looking tip. I know most folks will not touch their exhaust, but I like my RX 350 to look unique.

rmhipo

You think so? Do you think that because of just the tail lights? Or are you including everything else as well?

Here is a pic of the cx-9. IMO, night and day difference.

thanks vince22! i know everyone has their own preference. here is an updated pic of my 350 from a back/side angle. 35% tint on driver/passenger windows, and 20% on the back half. Stock 2010 19" Lexus wheels powder coated in Hyper Gray. I purchased 2013/2014 black Lexus center caps for the F-Sport style wheels.

vince22

love those stock 19" powdered coated hyper gray, cant do tinted front windows here in the SanFrancisco bayarea, you did a fantastic job

Thanks for the compliments vince22! The nice thing about owning an RX is, you DON'T have to modify/upgrade anything to make it look nice. They look amazing straight out of the factory!!

rmhipo - those wheels look aswesome! How much did you pay for the job if you don't mind me asking and is the color exactly called "hyper gray"? It woud be great if I could find a good shop here in South FL that does powder coating.

AconRX: Thank you! I paid $720 out the door. The original quote was $680, but I had to pay an additional $40 for one of the wheels which was bent pretty good. I'd say in comparison to buying OEM wheels with this finish, we come out way ahead. Even more so because they are bringing each of your wheels back up to spec. Hyper gray was indeed the specific color mentioned before getting my wheels done. Luckily they had a few wheels on display with the exact finish. If you can find a shop that will actually show you a sample wheel of the finish, there will be no surprises at the end.

How is the upgraded tail light better than the original tail light? If this is simply a style difference, it's not worth the money........better off donating that money to charity for a better cause.....

rmhipo

rxsuperman: It is all personal preference. A different look/style can be accomplished with $10 vs. $1,000. I'm sure many of us here on the forum continue to do what we enjoy doing, on top of donating to more than a handful of charities. Again, personal preference.

Nice detail on your car, rmhipo! That's a nice looking, well cared for RX!

Rozay604: Thank you! I hear you about the upgrades/investment. It all adds up.
