Does the kit come painted ? and your RX is already is at similar ride height as the picture shown ?
No. Even OEM body parts don't come painted. No, ride height for my rx hi higher and I guarantee it's the same for theirs. I am pretty sure that's dropped all the way on bags like mine. My ride height is similar to when I was on lowering springs.
Takes allot to slam an RX. Custom shocks and other mods needed.

Can't wait to see your results. If it's possible, pics of the "process" would be of great interest. I don't mean a National Geographic special or anything, just a few shots as it happens.
Draco, I did thought of painting the black plastic initially when I first got the car but after talking to my bodyshop buddy, it was quite costly to do and not to mention the paint doesn't quite stay on too well so I gave the idea up, since this is a daily drive for me. I rather get a body kit instead.
It's all shop hours really, time to prep the surface for paint then actual labor hours to paint the body parts, curing, and depend if you want to blend the paint other parts of your RX to make all the new paint job blend in nicely.
We're almost done the RX.....Vertex kit, Alstadt wheels, DRG coilovers and big brakes, Thundercloud grill, Midwest headlights, taillight and rear lenses, double DIN head unit with full audio, custom exhaust, and a few Harrier parts for fun.

6-pot front and 4-pot rears. We'll have more details when we're done.
Thanks that will be very helpful. AWD or FWD? I am looking for AWD. Hard to find anything out here. I was going to go to Magen and get custom shocks made or do a coil/bag set up.

how much is the coil/bag setup is going to cost you ? where will you put the air tank ?etc
I won't mind spending some money if the setup and price is good.
MowMow I already am on Air suspension with AccuAir auto leveling. The Coils allow for more adjustments in height and depending if they are racing coils or not, comfort as well. The bag set up was $3,500 installed. That was "my" price with the AccuAir as well. I doubt you would get that price for the same specs so I would say $4K+ at a shop. With Coils add another $1,500+ I would predict.
I hope the images are not too large.
Spy Shot
Keep in mind the wheels cost about $2K and then there is tires and so on and so on. Then the $1,600 lip kit painted and installed another $600 when done. Lots of money I could only spend cause I do not have kids or a GF lol!!
