Harrier-like sides, deletion of side markers
For those of you who have or know of the Toyota Harrier, of which the RX300 is almost an exact clone, you will no doubt know they don't have the side markers on the front and rear bumpers.
When I was in Jamaica, where the RX300 and Harrier are side by side, one can notice just a single white light just in front of both front doors, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Harrier_hongkong.jpg
I personally like no side lights and would prefer to have smooth sides. So as one of my final projects in Mexico, my cousins and I began work on Friday and will complete the work sometime Monday (after we get some paint, because unfortunately everyone is closed due to the religious holidays here).
However, let's take a look at the work in progress, since we only lack painting at the moment.

First step in the progress is to get some soapy water and some fine grit sandpaper to remove the top layer where the original paint and some but not all of the bumps and bruises I have accumulated in my 6 years are. Here we start on the rear bumper.

However, in the process we still damaged the area where the bolt was as you can see on the right side of this piece, but we have a photo later of what it looks like on the front side markers with the bolt.
