I actually meant that somewhat rhetorically...I don't think the majority of the ES purchasing demographic applies to the VIP/EXE market.

you are definitely needs to do something to your rx if you mistaken other rx instead of urs. i'm currently talking with Crystal_RX to hook me up with the body kits and grille. Once I get those to on her she will definitely different from other ( hopefully )

I see at least 1 RX330 or (once a week) RX350 everyday, and I feel that there's a need to differentiate my car from those other ones. Today, I was walking to my car while trying to unlock it without avail, and it wasn't until I noticed the license frame and the lack of chrome door handles, that I realized that I was at the wrong car. My car was a couple spots further down.

The most I'd to the car is putting 20s on it. And I've seen only one black RX with 20s.

If you don't want to see yourself driving a car/suv that you can find it at every corner on the street... your best bet is to put on a decent body kit, like Crystal_RX. My Highlander is very different with the body kit (link in the signature). Of course, wheels and tires will also do the job but just not as dramatic IMO.

30... Subtle mods like wider and more aggressive looking tires is all I wanted to do - just put some new 255/55/18 tires on...

I share the RX with my parents. I am now 20 and I live in Vancouver. I put a HID 3000K fog and 6000K on the lowbeam. Also superwhite lights on backup, license plate, and side marker (same housing as the highbeam)

Hello all,

1st post here. The only mod I would want to make is to throw out the factory seats and replace them with Volvo seats. Just traded my 2004 XC70 on a 2008 RX350 w/premium plus. By comparison the RX seats feel like wooden benches. Very uncomfortable for now but I'll likely get used to them in time.

I wasn't very impressed with the RX's seats, but I'm okay with them now.

i think they feel fine, but i hate how they have almost no lateral support and the cushions are not long enough, well maybe if you are 5'2 of something.
