I ran a search and I know several of you have done this but haven't really seen much on cost. Any experiences to share?

Imagine this baby all white!

I would think you are looking at $500-$750 or more to do it right.

Lots of the coach eddions came like that. I think it looks great.

My uncle back in Mexico would have done it for about $400 USD. Paint was about $80 to $100 of that price.

Single colored RX's always look better

....I'm leaning toward the same thing....all black!

Does anyone know which RX's came unicolor out of the factory?

My Venetian Red Pearl 99 is that way and I think it makes it look newer than just about every other 1st gen RX I see out on the roads (most are two tone). I also like how the paint on the car matches the color of the '99-00 taillights perfectly, to the point where I think I prefer them to the Altezzas.

Dadikins

I believe the '01 Silversport & the '02 Coach Editions are the only ones that came out unicolor.

Carver

There's the red 99 as well. It was the first monotone I ever saw. I don't know what "Edition" it was but as Wangsta points out, it did exist.

Now I'm curious about it! Is there a designation on it somewhere Wangster??

All of the maroon/red RX300s came mono-color directly from the factory.

Wangsta

Yeah it's just that one color I believe. There's nothing otherwise special about mine, it's a fully loaded 1999 model but I don't think they offered any special packages that year.

I don't think it's that common of a color too, I've only seen one other one and that was in Chicagoland. Up here where I live I'm almost positive I have the only one.

Dadikins

Could you post some pics? I don't think I've ever seen a red/maroon RX/300

Carver

There's a bunch of them on autotrader...

I had the bottom pannels painted tan to match the top and switched the badging to coach edition...it was around 1300 in Tampa Fl. I went to a very good shop though not Maaco/Econo where you can paint a whole car for 300 bucks. I also switched my grill to the coach edition grill. You can see pics under my thread "my rx300" or something like that I would recommend it- makes the car look alot newer. Im thinking about switching the altezzas for the LED lights Ive seen on ebay since that altezza styling dates the car.

Carver

Good idea, I bought these just now. I'll have them installed when I paint the cladding. They'll look better on a monocolor.
