Default Front Chrome Bars

I love those front chrome bars. I have a 2001 Black RX300 with chrome wheels. Would love to purchase front chrome bars.

Where did you purchase your front/rear chrome bars? How much? How easy to install?

Thanks.

lol theres too many Rx3s here... even 2 other silversports that i know of... once just about 2 blocks away and another say mabbie 5 mins drive away. LoL

thanks

no, the rear one you just remove the old tow hook thingy and replace it with the Jaos one and then pop on bar. Pretty simple

Yeah, spin,

If you could get those Philips SilverVisions and lose those egg yolks, you would be rockin'.

You still have a singularly beautiful RX.

Looks Great!!! Also saw your light pictures. Are you going to change the fogs to blue? I did and it matches the HID. Also you were right about that lens in the front signal, so you cant use the "silvers".

spinteews,

nice looking mods!

i have a question though. im thinkign about getting the RMM bull bar in front. but in MA i have the new license plates that require them to be on the front bumper and back.

my question is, is there room between the bull bar and the front bumper to squeeze the plate in (but i dont think i can block the license plate either)? or does the bar fit over the plate with no problem and you took the plate off cause it looked better?

also i was thinking that i could just drill my own holes a bit below the original ones and place the plate a bit lower. will the plate fit on the bumper without looking like its hanging off the bottom of the bumper? is it flush against the bottom of the bumper or no?

thanks for the info!

That is a PHAT ride! Probably the coolest RX I've ever seen in my opinion... Aftermarket mod's and "kitting" are only semi-popluar here in Wisconsin, probably due to the weather... not nearly as popular as in southern cali or other such hot spots. Most people (myself included) would never consider lowering or even adding kits for "lowered" look around here due to the clearance needed to drive in any reasonable snowfall.
As few "modifications" as my RX has (if you can even consider the few cosmetic details I added to be "modifications), here in Wisconsin it really stands out as a unique ride. As many RX's as I've seen driving around, I have never seen another one that's anything but totally stock.... Hell, I haven't even seen many with a spoiler or chrome wheels, much less a performance exhaust, lowering kit, oversize wheels, etc.
All that said, I'm very envious of your ride "spin" - great taste!
